Pacific Palisades Elementary School held their annual EcoFest (2007) to much acclaim at which Xtreme athletes, Jesse Puente, the Cycling Flatland World Champion, and Mike Saavedra, THE top-rated Pro BMX and trails rider of today performed with an enviro-friendly message. EcoFest is an event in which kids and parents are encouraged to get to school via "alternative" vehicles (bikes, skateboards, etc.) and then participate in fun, educational, interactive eco activities throughout the day. PPES's "Green Team" has won the school recognition as the greenest school in all of LAUSD. The event was sponsored by health lifestyle brands Alacer (makers of Emergen-C) an ASEC.
Alacer, a 30-year vitamin company, and category leader among vitamin sellers, has in common with the PPES Green Team, and ASEC, a commitment to a fit, energetic, healthy lifestyle. Alacer's Emergen-C Street Team in part sponsored EcoFest 2007 to "share the good" with Palisades kids and their families.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
