Doing these FAT Friday things from the road is a pain in the ass but we'll give it a try anyway. The following ridiers have made it to the Red Bull Bike Night in Trieste; Daniel Dhers, Colin MacKay, Tobias Wicke, Harry Main, Alessandro Barbero, Axel Juergens, Arthur Dietrich, Bruno Hoffman, Stefan Lantschner, Ben Hennon and Kevin Kalkoff. Prelims will be going on tonight with finals being held tomorrow evening. It's too hot to ride really so people have been chilling.

-The band line-up for the 20th FAT-JAM is looking better and better. Next to Quest for Rescue, the Fistfucking pigs from Hell we have also signed on Dan Dryers from Germany. Sort of. Manager Lippe was on the phone with the band members making sure they're going to be in Aarle-Rixtel on 9 August. OJA will rock for sure.

Nick "Dawg" Valencia in Northern California is starting to make his own bars and frames. Be sure to buy one of his Exodus frames to pay for the spleen that he just pounded.
- Also in Norcal is a brand new concrete park that allows bikes situated in Lake Cunningham in San Jose. Please note its kind of an Etnies park deal: you need a working break, helmet and the rest as well as no steel pegs. Its also a pay park so carry some cash. Lots of rules if you ask me but it has a full pipe and some other good stuff to ride.
