-I just got off the phone with Tony "ten taco's" D over at Haro who informed me he had just booked Dennis Enarson & Mike Ishizuka flights to Cologne for the Masters. Vans are sending Colin Mackay & event sponsor Rockstar energy drink will be supplying The Nyquist so Haro will have a good U.S showing at this years event. -The UK Volume crew headed up by Mason Smith & token US rider Biz recently won the Ride to Glory road trip. Mason has also hooked up little Jack Watts on the Alienation flow team, keep your eyes open for Jack... he's 10yrs old & is unreal
-I sold a pair of gold Shimano DX's for £85 on ebay!
-Mark Webb has hurt his back again but not as bad as before & will probaly be on his bike by the time you read this. -Ben Wallace is back in the USA for the 1st 2 Dew Tour stops but will be back for the Masters. He was also recently caught in bed with a pink micro scooter.
-Aussie Vert legend Matt Fairbarn is returning to Europe or a month next week which is great news as Matt is one of coolest fuckers ever to ride a bike.
-Sean Hargreaves & "Big" Mike ARE NOT DAVE MIRRA'S PERSONAL BODYGUARDS!!! This rumour that Dave had bodyguards when he was in FISE has been doing the rounds here in the UK, I love rumours! 
-Myself & Remo have been on a hectic construction job at Heathrow lately & haven't had a day of for wayyyy too long so Remo has decided he isn't legit anymore & because of this he has to quit, to make himself legit. So when he gets on the plane for the Masters he will be unemployed but hopefully a lot happier. He will also be taking his unemployed ass to Cleveland for the 2nd Dew Tour stop. Me? I cant afford to quit, I am legit in my own way so I have to continue working! But, by the time this is online I will be in Shepton Mallet for the annual carnage fest that is NASS! This year will be the same as all the others with wayyy too many drunk kids, fights, crap food, whinging Daniel Dhers & tents. I can't wait! With a bit of luck I will find the time to do an event report for next week for those of you who won't make it but then again, being an "obnoxious commentator" what would I know anyway? Peace out homie dawgs. Thanks DJ. Let's wrap this FAT Friday up. It's almost weekend. Time for a break. Thanks for checking www.fatbmx.com. Keep in touch.
