Nike has been trying to get the foot in the door in BMX lately and latest additions to the team are Nigel Sylvester and Mike Spinner. Nigel has his own rider part on the Nike website with cool pics and three videos. If you want to check it out, go

Mike Spinner pulled a 1080 at
Dave Mirra's warehouse earlier this week. According to Dave:
"He did it just perfect. He does a 720 and simply spins it one more time, it's sick. More people will be doing them when they've seen the footage."
More from Nike: Following on from 2006’s Oncore, Spring sees the Nike 6.0 Insurgent shoe touch down for 2007. The reigning King of parks and pavement everywhere, the Men's Air Insurgent is Nike 6.0's premier technical multipurpose action sport shoe. Hidden lacing means everything is self-contained and feels snug but not tight, whilst the mesh tongue and perforations let air circulate evenly around the shoe. The Insurgent comes with an Air sole unit for amazing heel impact absorption, and specific gripping pads on the outsole mean it’s perfect for better pedal contact as well as a whole host of action sport activities. The Insurgent is comfortable, lightweight and durable for maximum performance – and comes in sharp colourways too.
Another new edition to the Nike 6.0 stable this Spring takes shape with an addition to their apparel range, which complements and matches the Insurgent shoe. The User apparel range specific to the Insurgent includes a pale blue old skool trackie top, complimented by a matching cap and tee to complete the look. What’s more, Nike 6.0 continues to extend cutting edge knowledge into creating a range of 6.0 trackie tops, hoodies and caps - the Mutant tees come in black or white with the eye-catching Nike 6.0 logo on the chest.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
