It's 09:30hr in the morning and we just finished up the Slovenian National BMX Park championships in Osijek, Croatia. Enough Slovenian riders gathered to have a full podium in Men as well as the Women class. Was it early? yes it was. Warm-up started at 8am but the 2022 championship is in the books and points can be added to the names.
Standout in the Park championship was Red Bull sponsored Jaka Remec who showed flip double whips and triple whips before most people get out of bed on a Saturday. The National Championship title was his.
Art this very moment the pro riders have taken over the course. 31 of them will battle for the 2022 Pannonian title. Some of the riders spotted are Declan Brooks, Kieran Reilly, Jose Cedano, Maligno, Jacob Thiem, Ernest Zebolts, Justin Dowell and yes, Jaka Remec will be riding some more today. Who will make it to the 12-men final and will Croatian hero Marin Rantes be on the podium today? We'll keep you informed.

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