Looks like this summer will have tons of events going on. Actually it's too much to be at all events ourselves. One of the main series that is going on this summer will be the Dew Action Sports tour. We received an invitation to cover this series of high-bucks contests but it looks like we won't be able to make it to any of these rounds. If you plan on going to one of the events yourself and would like to take some pics and write a story for FATBMX, please get in touch. We'll do our best to get you a press pass so you'll have access to the riders to do interviews, get a parking spot and eat all the available free food you can. I'm sure there's free Mountain Dew too. Anyway, we would like to cover the events on www.fatbmx.com but need someone to help us out. If you know you can do this, send us a mail at: This email address is being protected from spambots.
