If you have been into BMX for a couple of years you (should) know how to put a bike together part by part. If you're just starting out and have a few issues to get your ride tuned up, you should watch Matt Wilhelm's FIX YOUR BIKE instructional videos that he has posted on his new website. Even for the old dawgs the 5 videos might give away a few tricks that you could use from now on.

Sorry it has been a couple weeks since our last update. So I wanted to make sure you all know how much we appreciate your well wishes, birthday messages & prayers. I'm awaiting an update from Stephen's father, but I can give you a little insight from my time with Stephen & his family. Their holidays have been wonderful, just being together as a family is more than anyone could ask for. Though Stephen has been sick off & on he continues to fight everything thrown at him. At Christmas, Santa (you all know who you are) must have known all that they lost when they had to move after Stephen's injury. Seth & Mason woke up Christmas morning with Levi's Remix video. Good mix of riding by Morgan, Jamie, Corey and Anthony.

Bruno Hoffmann might have picked up a new clothing sponsor in the form of Lavar, but I'm not sure if they're making jeans yet. If not, he should be talking to the Levi's company as they know how to make a pair or two. Here's a Levi's remix movie made by Will Stroud. The riding comes from T-Nez, Bestrick, Wade and Napolitan: 
The whole European championships BMX series has been moved forward on the UCI schedule for one reason; the Olympic Games in Beijing. The World Championships in China will be held before the Olympics too so some serious shifting went on in the 2008 schedule. Round three and four took place in Zwolle, The Netherlands and since the weather this time of the year is more likely to be shite, the race was held indoors at the IJsselhallen. Good choice.
Michael McQueen finished up a new web video that you can watch over at the Eastern Bikes' site in High Definition. Zach Rogers, Seamus Mecoen and Phil Jones had a little street session in South Carolina that included a curved wallride, stairs, and rails.

Starting in 2004 as the first Flatland only Mailorder in Germany and Europe kunstform?! was growing decent and supported lot of riders and worked continuously to enlarge the Flatland community by providing the best stuff for fair prices. The founder of kunstform?! Sebastian Pospischil who is also a very famous Flatland rider, created something really special and unique. After a compulsory break in running kunstform?! in 2007 (because Sebastian has to concentrate on his study and made his diploma) 
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
