On a brighter note, Mark has been moved up to Vans' European A-team starting in 2008.

Too many riders are taking big slams lately. That includes a nasty one from Mark Webb. Here's what Chris Woodage reports: "Just spoke to Webby. Yesterday at Southsea he bailed a huge frontflip landing on his ass from a great height. The hospital nearly didn't xray his back concentrating mainly on his neck but with Webbys insistence they finally took a look at his back. Now he's been told he has a broken back (L1) and is just waiting news of a possible surgery. He's in good spirits though and is fully mobile but has been told to keep still." 
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
