If you want to promote a contest a good way to do this is to go to the local schools and put on some sort of demo. David Vazquez to a couple of riders to a school with over 2000 girls and they put on a little show to promote the Revolcon contest that was happening that weekend in Guadelajara. Senad Grosic and Tobias Wicke changed back into their riding gear (the wrestiling match was last week, they missed it) and put on a good show. With 2700 spectators that showed up at the contest you can say that the little demo was worth the effort.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
