snowpark, the Monster Army powered on, testing the limits of Tian and some of the local Monster Reserves at Berlin’s best riding spots and party locations. The Extreme Playgrounds is an epic action sports event and the crew was on hand to support Monster’s newest General, Alex Coleborn.
Typically Alex partied all night and on no-sleep, busted out some of the most technical BMX tricks on the planet to win best Trick and scoring 3rd place in the overall comp. Heading out to sample all Berlin had to offer, the crew hit the streets with Alex’s prize purse burning a hole in his pocket. When Gluvein, Bratwursts and knitted jumpers weren’t cutting it amongst the Army, Tian took it further and spying a cable base jump, launched himself off Berlin’s tallest hotel. His whole approach to the weekend, his riding, partying, oh and throwing himself off a 125m building, well and truly earned him his stripes from the Monster Army.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
