The FAT Favorites list:
-Spot to ride: We’ve got a nice waxed ledge under the highway in Orlando that’s super fun. It’s an up, flat, down ledge and the up and down parts run into the ground, so you can grind up and across super nice. Good rain day spot too!
-BMX video: Probably the Common Crew Monster Mash video or the Cult It’s Later Than You Think video. I watched those so much.
-Website: I’ve been on Ebay a bunch lately haha. So many good finds on there. Got a Lego Indiana Jones poster from Legoland off there the other day.
-Web video: My favorite that I watched so much was definitely Devon Smillie’s Welcome too Eclat part. Perfect video to watch before riding.
-Food: That’s a tough one but I’d have to say pizza. I love pizza so much haha. I’m a thick dough fan for sure.
-Person on Instagram: Jaume Sintes, love a nice Jaume instagram edit.
Bentley King and Aryei Levenson were 16 and 17, respectively, when we filmed this little segment in heavily-sessioned SoCal last spring. So basically, Bentley had to play hooky in order to hook up with Stew and homeschooled Aryei while they were in town on a random weekday in May. Now we're not condoning this sort of truant behavior or anything, but when you bike as smart as these kids, sometimes you deserve a little RecesSESH.

Just when you thought Sweden was a quiet, peaceful land of fika, lakes and safe cars, Hotline Tim and the local scene come along. We'll be pulling a few sections from the video for your viewing pleasure - first up, Arvind Bolmström.
Sometimes amidst the chaos and misery of war come moments of hope, and the Ride To Glory jam that the Kyiv, Ukraine locals threw for BMX Day was just that. So much respect to the scene out there for supporting each other and making this day happen despite their circumstances.
It's Jesse's last day In America. So we had a session at Silverado skatepark with the homies: Jeff, Alex and Arnold. It was very hot and sweaty but we got some clips and enjoyed the sesh. Good look to Jess on his journey to Japan.

After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
