FATBMX Your Online BMX News Resource Since 1998

Dirtjump contests don't get much better than the Red Bull Elevation in Whistler, Canada. First of all, take that location. It's one of the most beautiful places on earth. It's got hotels, it's got bars, it's got bears and it has those huge lifts that take you to the top. In the wintertime the place is filled with snowboarders. In the summer the mountain bikers invade the town and in 2010 Whistler hosts the Olympic Winter Games. But there is one weekend in the year that makes more sense for BMX-ers to make the trip up there; The Red Bull Elevation. The jumps are built well in advance to make sure they're perfect when the best riders in the world arrive. Going down the hill it's possible to build bigger stuff (more airtime) and with some money (and prestige) on the line you know this place goes off. 

This times nightjam is called “SKITTAAA!...” The game “SKITTA” is similar to “SKATE” or “BIKE”. Except for the fact that it’s played in teams of three riders. When your team has managed to get to the word “SKITTA”, you and your team are out of the game and or your way home crying like a baby! (No exceptions!)

Nicolas Cambon has an eye for spots. This doesn't always mean they're easy to reach. But if there's a will, there's a way and this time a canoe was needed to get to the tranny that was spotted from far. Check the video and get inspired. Good stuff is out there.

Airing Thursday, November 29, at 9:00 pm Eastern Time (6:00 pm Pacific Time) and telecast three additional times, Cory Nastazio will appear on The Daily Habit.

The Superstar website is updated and redesigned. It's been online for 30 minutes now... 2008 stuff is now visible online and it will be possible to download the product catalogue very soon. New feature of the site is the frame comparator: 1 page to compare specs between New Deal and Light My Fire frame. Easier than switching from one page to another. Within 4 weeks, we'll add 2 more pages on the site: history of Superstar and another thing which is too complicated to explain now for me...
