News can't get there soon enough. We live in a fast world. What's new today, is old tomorrow. Well, almost. Anyway, we have collected news from week 11 and packed it into this FAT Friday. You see, not everyone has time to check the FATBMX site twice a day for new updates. If you happen to do so, most likely you'll find something new to read and watch. The FAT Friday summarizes the week in BMX and is then stored in the left column so even if you went on that 3 week holiday to the jungle without any wireless internet

Biker In Black 

Mike Vincent is a son, a friend, and an all around great guy. He played a prominent figure in the sport of BMX, initially as a rider and recently as a judge in all major and endemic competitions. He is a regular figure at all Los Angeles road and track bike gatherings. He is a professional golf caddy. He also somehow manages to donate his time to the local animal shelter. On January 18, while riding his bicycle to work he was struck by a car and sustained major head trauma along with many other bodily injuries. Last week we passed the 50-day mark since the accident, which included three weeks in ICU, four brain surgeries, and an endless emotional rollercoaster for all involved. His initial results to treatment were very promising, yet the past couple of procedures have not yielded the same results. 

Last Tuesday, March 4, Mike underwent Cranioplasty surgery, the procedure to place the bone flap back in his skull. There was severe swelling after the procedure and he had to undergo another emergency brain surgery on Thursday. Initially the doctors planned to drill burr holes into his skull to alleviate swelling yet last minute they decided to reopen his old sutures and insert drains in the hopes that it would relieve the swelling with out another evasive surgery. 

The National Bicycle League (NBL) is proud to announce the formation of a new national level partnership with Standard Byke Company. The Standard brand has earned a loyal following in both racing and freestyle over the past two-decades and their renewed commitment to racing is good news for fans of high quality products and rider-owned companies. Standard is one of only a handful of rider-owned companies in BMX and they continue to forge new ground in all areas of development and production. Rick Moliterno’s company has very recently taken over full control of production and manufacturing at their new factory in Davenport, IA. This will translate into a range of improvements to their already solid line of 125R race frames and forks plus a bundle of new products to compliment their American-Built line.

Moliterno, who has deep roots in bicycle motocross, is eager to see the racing side grow and the new partnership comes at a perfect time as the sport nears its Olympic milestone. 

The Mount Baldy fullpipe is a spot that is legendary. These girls made it over and thought it was a little too hot that day and stripped down. They didn't stop shredding though. Remember, 21 and over only.
