The new Zwanzig Zoll BMX magazine out of Berlin, Germany is ready. Just in time for the long dark nights that you will be spending on that couch next to the fireplace. This is what's inside issue number 21 which was titled the contest and jam issue. Contents: News, Hot Stuff, Igualada-Comp, Maxsomenoise, Bielefeld City Jam, Robert Kröning Interview, The Champ Series, Zwanzig Zoll Girl, Grillen statt Chillen Jam, Barak Invational 07, Battle in da Club, Der Eine und der Kleine, Rebeljam, and the Iltis Jam. 

Good things keep on popping up to help those riders who need it most. These exclusive Johnson number plates were made for the injured Stephen Murray, Tara Llanes and Shane Vincent. Only 50 are produced of the plates and that's it. All proceeds will go to the particular funds to help pay for the hospital bills and to support them to recover from the injuries. You will have a limited edition numberplate showing that you helped a good cause. The plates are available in sizes Mini / Expert and Pro. Different background colours available too. You can pay by PayPal (both USA and International). 

The Last Dew Tour stop in Orlando was a GOOD time. She looks MUCH better in that Albe's t- then Daniel Dhers does. --flip

Good work requires time. Let's use that excuse for the delay of the Red Cross adventures movie to come out months after the contest took place in Hechtel, Belgium. We reported about the contest earlier but now you can see a high quality movie clip here on FATBMX. The clip shows what went on at the town square; a dirt comp, live bands and vert riding. And lots of beers. 

"My crank snapped on my first run so I needed a huge second run to win the Cup. Don't think it was planned that way for the dramatic. There was a lot of pressure going into the final run.” - Jamie Bestwick, BMX Vert Dew Cup champion
 
“I wanted to get a first good run and I crashed. And at that point there were no throw-away runs…(Winning the Dew Cup is) one of the biggest accomplishments I’ve had so far, as far as winning a whole complete series, and winning the title.” - Ryan Nyquist, BMX Dirt Dew Cup champion

“Last year after the (Dew Cup) win, I was like, ‘am I really gonna be able to keep up?’ I just went home, practiced hard, and dialed all my tricks. I came here and I really wanted to take it again.” - Daniel Dhers, BMX Park Dew Cup champion

I've been meaning to write a review of The Industry for a few weeks now. First issue of this BMX trade magazine came out at Interbike and that's where I picked up the first issue. After BMX Business News was no longer in business there was no BMX trade magazine out there. To our knowledge there is no BMX specific website out there so the logical stepwas to make a magazine version to keep the dealers up to date on what's hot and to give BMX companies a chance to get in touch with the dealers at the same time. It can only help grow the sport.
The Complete Picture is a big article in the first issue about all the (new) companies that started making complete bikes. Ryan Sher (Subrosa), Jim Ford (Mirraco), Zack Phillips (Kink), Brian Castillo (Volume), Corey Muth (Verde) and Robbie Morales (FIT Bike Co.) all talk about what it takes to be a player in the complete bike business.
