That goes from the Mini-FAT-JAM on 3 April to the Helm Trails jam on the 18th of April, the Flame Trails jam on 2 May to the actual killer FAT-JAM on 21 August. If you haven't turned green by then we will send the monsters after you.

That's quite the list. Good to see people are getting hooked up.

-Jan Valenta
-Simon Moratz
-Dan Lacey
You can find the articles stored in the REVIEWS section on the site. In fact, people who think that blogs on the internet is temporary, we have loads of articles stored on the site. Even going back a few years. If you want to know what happened at the 2005 World Championships in Prague, use the SEARCH button on the site and it will take you there. You might have to try find the right words a few times but everything is there. Not sure where my RIDE issue of 2005 is....

-What else, oh yes, the Good Stuff lists have kicked off and the BMX race scene has been cooperating like we've been their brother all this time. Thanks for that. 5 this week and they came from:
-Jelle van Gorkom
-Khalen Young
-Cristian Becerine
-Barry Nobles
-Martijn Scherpen
Most of the Pro racers will be at the ABA Winternationals in Phoenix this weekend. Curious to see who's going to take it.

-Clip of the week? Let's give it to the folks from Memphis. At least Philip watched it three times in a row as he liked the BMX bikes blasting through the "bobsled" waves . At least these guys are not afraid to go down on a bobsled track...

-It was a last minute deal again but we came through with another episode of the Workshop Wednesday. Thanks to Jim Sibley who answered the questions on his B-day to make sure we had something fresh to read on Wednesday. Jim is the guy who welded up the DirtBros frames so if you think HotRods have nothing to do with BMX, Jim sure does. Read the piece, it's a good one.

-Ronnie Remo and Zak Shaw are off to do vert demo's out in Bahrain at this years opening F1 race in Bahrain next week with teamextreme.co.uk..  If this only could be a gig for the rest of the F1 season...

-The folks from SEKT hit us up and we instantly had an interview going. More on SEKT clothing and their plans you can find by hitting up this link.

-Last weekend we went to Belgium for the 900 jam. Forgot the CF card but Kemo came through with some good shots. You can find a report by clicking here. Good times as always with the Geys family.

-FAT FAVs this week came from:
-Michael Faliszewski (Canada)
-Jason Minor (USA)
-Matt Whyatt (Australia)
-Jeremy Pavia (USA)
-Eduardo Terreros (Spain)
-Cory Muth (USA)
-Ed Pollio (USA)
7 more coming up this week. Getting coverage is fun.

-Let's make it a Trick of the week. Alex Coleborn's barrel roll tailwhip. Filmed by Ronnie Remo on his mobile phone and spread around the internet in no-time. Watch it, again and again. So smooth. He's got one more coming next week. What's it going to be?

-Ben Hennon fans will be happy to read one more interview on FATBMX. Bas Keep fans are not forgotten either. Busy week here at FATBMX, I told you.

Thanks for your continues support of sending pics, stories, videos and news. Without you this wouldn't be possible. Enjoy the weekend.
