McGoo's B-day party (always the best), and we also had a Steve Roy interview.
That small computer font made sure we got a lot in the 'zines. We're not done yet; Reno is the first ABA race of the season and I left for that race at 4am with Pete Dylewski in the GT Box van. Hidden Valley was around in 1996 and it got plowed earlier this year. Hard Volume was the music section.
We also had a free Lawan Cunningham Univega postcard with this issue. The Cali times were great. We visited the Moreno Valley contest too. GT was good with the free stickers. Once again they supported FATBMX. We had a contest schedule up and the last page features Jay Miron doing a 360 table over the FAG jump at Sheep Hills.
Read the whole 'zine just because it's dark outside right now and you cannot go anywhere.

The cover of issue 33 is one I remember well. Jay Miron, Mark Losey and I made a trip from Huntington Beach to Vancouver. We stopped in San Jose where we visited the Garcia family, had a tour at the Skyway factory in Redding, rode Burnside early in the morning and then cruised on to "the Basic house" in Vancouver.
We had nothing but rain all week long and did not much else than drink and play fuSball. Every time we got back from a club Andrew Faris was still riding his bike in the garage downstairs. He was working on a new trick and I promised him the cover of FAT if he pulled it. Well, he's on the cover isn't he?
Anyway, back to the content. Taj on vert on the contents page. This was 1996.

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