FATBMX Your Online BMX News Resource Since 1998

We still think it's funny that Markus Arnoldi and his band are participating at the Eurovision Song Festival in Germany. National TV for Kalle, that's crazy. But Kalle always had the talent and the drive to do things right. Remember the Beware videos in a time that not everyone and their uncle had a video camera and editing on a computer was just starting out. It didn't take Kalle long to learn new tricks. At least he just went for it and usually on his first attempt he came pretty close. I'm thinking flip fakies and flairs (flip-180-s) on vert ramps in the early '90-s. Anyway, we found these pics on the net and thought we'd share them with you. Good luck to Kalle on his way to being # 1.

Ten years of BMX freestyle domination. From when to when was that?
DMC: From my rookie pro year in '86 through the end of 1995. The last year there was an overall title.

If there would be a BMX Hall of Fame, you would be the first person on the wall. Do you care about something like that?
DMC: Thanks for the compliment. History is important and should be remembered, but it can also be easily manipulated, so I try to place more emphasis on the present. Irving Feffer summed it up best when he said: 

One of the most prestigious flatland contests is about the take place in Japan. The third edition of the Red Bull Circle of Balance has 18 Flatland icons from 9 countries travel to the land of the rising sun to battle for the $ 25,000.= USD prize purse. The COB website is now online so have a look of who are going to be there. In the meantime, orgainzer Andy Zeiss is figuring out the Japanese toilets. They come with an instruction card in Japanese and if you push the wrong button you're in for a surprise.  

A while ago we had some pics up on this section of FATBMX about Matt Bisschoff's band Dandeliondeath. Looks like they had another performance because we received some new shots. The Failure Bikes owner doesn't hold back when he's on stage and he's not alone. By the way, he wants all bitches to be his friend at the Dandeliondeath myspace site . Now check the hot photos and by the way, one of these hot babes is his wife.

It took 9 months and 9 days extra for Boyd de Jong to see this world. Paul de Jong and Carry van Cuyck are now the proud parents of Boyd. Boyd was born today at 12:45pm and weighed in at a little over 9 pounds. Both baby and mother are doing well. If your Paul's Boutique order isn't shipped the same day this week, you know why.

We're proud on the expansion of the De Jong family.
