News can't get there soon enough. We live in a fast world. What's new today, is old tomorrow. Well, almost. Anyway, we have collected news from week 11 and packed it into this FAT Friday. You see, not everyone has time to check the FATBMX site twice a day for new updates. If you happen to do so, most likely you'll find something new to read and watch. The FAT Friday summarizes the week in BMX and is then stored in the left column so even if you went on that 3 week holiday to the jungle without any wireless internet

connection, you can quickly get back into the swing of things by hitting the FAT-Friday button.

-Last weekend the Toronto BMX jam took place in Canada. Here are your top 5 finishers in Pro street and pro flatland:

-Todd Lyons has tons of great stories. This one is about team Haro sleeping in the car. TL in the trunk, Dave Mirra on the backseat.

-Noel Campbell fills us in on the Winter Splinter contest. We like it when people not only ask us to post their contest info but follow up with a nice report with pics too.

-The top 5 riders of the A-class of the Braunschweig contest are:
1. Marcus Walborn, Magdeburg 342
2. Christian Lotz, Hohnsdorf 316

-If you're into racing and want racing related news only, simply hit up the BMX Racing button in the left column and you'll see that Standard Bykes has teamed up with the NBL, but also you'll find four movies that Justin Kosman made for GT Bicycles regarding America's Olympic program.

-We are getting good feedback from the old dudes regarding the FAT-'zines that we have been posting on Saturdays. Issue 2 appeared on 8 March and issue number 3 will go live tomorrow. Have people attempted to print them and staple the pages together?

-The Brazil X-Games are taking place in Sao Paulo from 25-27 April. BMX street and BMX vert are on the program. Is vert off the program for the summer X-Games in LA and turning into a vert/park class?

-If you're looking for something on the FATBMX site and can't find it, use the SEARCH option in the top right corner. Type the name or contest in the empty box and hit SEARCH. Chances are good you will find what you are looking for. Hit SHOW ALL RESULTS if it did not show up on the first page. I use this on a daily basis, it's a handy feature.

-There's a new spined miniramp in the secret Hidden Island warehouse but another spot that has been around for over 25 years is seeing some "skate-stoppers" pop up in the transitioned brick banks. Duesseldorf will never be the same........

-Think about Mike Vincent next time you're complaining about your little headache. And then stop complaining.

-King of Choq has been staying busy lately. Here's a photo of Mikey at the Home Ave ditch in San Diego. Kick ass photo. Mike is coming home for a little break. Mini-FAT-JAM on 29 March is where he'll be at.

- Oz (Bob Osborn) recently made $ 285,000.= USD on a Trash Can Morgan photo that a big company used without his permission on some diapers. Holy shit!

-Tons of videos on FATBMX this week. From etnies, the Revolcon contest, Braunschweig comp, Bruno Hoffman's B-day jam, Ondra Slez, Roadstar movie, now try ou that Search button, see if it works for you.\

-We send out these FAT Fridays by e-mail to those who subscribe to the FATBMX mailing list. You will receive these weekly news blogs before they get posted on the site, so if you want to feel the power, sign up today.
