Waterford Oaks, Michigan - If there's a title to be sorted out, you can bet that Factory Formula / Monster Energy / Fly Racing's Donny Robinson will probably take it. He grabbed just about all of them in '06 and now he has made history by taking the first ever Elite Men's National Championship title. With the Olympics approaching, this title is ever important and is the first step towards every BMX athlete's Olympic dreams. Donny made the trip to Michigan and was feeling good about his chances. In the main, dR was stuck in lane 8 and
Matt Pohlkamp pretty much shut down every pass attempt Donny threw at him. With a move reminiscent of last year's NBL Grands, he passed Matt through the Pro section to take the lead and the win.

Lee Lewis also made the trip to Michigan and it was a worthwhile one. Lee had some trouble with the UCI gate but made the most of it with a Silver Medal finish. Lee's video is also up on the Formula site as well as Formula's Myspace page -

Next up for nearly the entire Formula team is the ABA Mid West Nationals in Rockford, Illinois. Look for Donny, National #1 Women's Pro Alise Post, Lee Lewis, Vet Pro Tim Dinger, Andre Norles, and the return of Warren McDow to competition.

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