At FATBMX we like to party. There's no secret about it. Meeting up with everyone at night to have a good time is an important part of going to a BMX event. If the partying is good, at least it was worth it going the contest for that. The contest might suck but hanging out together can save a lot of things.
At FATBMX we: "Tell it like it is!" This might work for most people but it doesn't work for all. Yes, we do piss people off on a regular basis. It's not our goal to piss people off but their opinion might differ from ours. Starting from this month we'll have more "enemies" in the pro BMX world. Why you ask, because we're going to start a new section on FATBMX called: FAT Paparazzi. Right, BMX party pictures. We'll be sneaking in the digi cams to the parties and start shooting away.
This might upset the riders, their sponsors or their loved ones but we believe it's all good fun. We're not afraid to put ourselves in the mix (Bart - hakking - Paul Breakdancing) so we're victims of this Paparazzi thing as much as anyone else. You better not laugh too hard because you could be on FAT Paparazzi next.
The pictures might show up in the media section (concerts), freestyle section (contests), Bizznizz part (trade shows) and/or BMX race section (Fuzzy/TL/Murray know how to party too). One month might be better than the next. We do welcome photo contributions from everyone and we're currently waiting for Fuzzy's Bike 04 pics and Wessell's Backyard jam photos.
You might not find this kind of stuff in the normal BMX magazines, but that's right, we're not a normal BMX magazine. We've taken it to the edge before and it was time to get some seriousness out of BMX. Hopefully you'll enjoy the party pics. Watch out for the FAT Paparazzi!!

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