Pretty much straight after practice the T-mobile party boat was leaving for a 3 hour ride in Germany's biggest industrial area. The Ruhrgebiet is dirty, it smells and is very ugly. Maybe that's why the boat trip was organized at night. We didn't see much as we were staying close to the bank (A to the Z) and had a few of those German beers. Good times (always) when everyone is at the same spot and noone left the party early this time. 
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
