It's been another huge day down at Red Bull Empire of Dirt . The slightly windy conditions in the morning cleared by midday and then real fun began. Today in practice the main focus for the riders was the mid section of the course which includes the half pipe, three wall rides and a spine. After a few hours of practice the riders turned their attention to the Decoy Trails in Newton Abbot where the public were treated to a fine array of tricks and stylish moves. Tony Cardona won the 'Riders Rider' award. He was pulling some serious Can Can 360s and for his crowd pleasing efforts he was presented with a bad arse Epihphone guitar. Sweet.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
