Everything is getting ready for the event which will be held on July 3rd and 4th at el Parc del Forum in Barcelona. The 11 installations are growing day by day so riders will be able to practice on Friday for the competition that will be during the weekend. The Nike 6.0 Bikepark created by Nate Wessel, a reference in the creation of parks who has designed the X-Games park, is almost done and it looks amazing reaching twice the height of five meters. On the other side of the Parc del Forum, where the BTT is located, the first two jumps are already prepared. The first consist of a 6 meters long jump and the second one is a 4 meters transfer. On total, 25 trucks have released 600 tons of sand. The BTT competition promises to be exiting since there will be three riders that will try double-flips. The construction of the skatepark started today and for Thursday morning it will be finished and ready to skate. The workers from IOU ramps are preparing all the modules first and the impression is really good. The difference from last year’s park is quite big and it is already notable.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
