A competition at Rye Airfield in Rye, N.H. produced a BMX finalist from the first weekend of the Gatorade Free Flow Tour. Rye Airfield winner Josh Lane (BMX park), advances to the Gatorade Free Flow Tour Finals taking place September 16-19. Seventeen-year-old Lane of Portsmouth, N.H. earned the BMX park victory at Rye Airfield, taking his amplitude and style across the entire park. He impressed the crowd and judges when he launched from the jump landing to a superman, whipping the big box - backwards - during the final jam session. Matt Ray was second with Brett Silva finishing in third place. 
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
