Empire of Dirt Course 2012. Check what's in store for the best dirt riders in London on 19/20 May
Apr 26, 2012
This years Empire course is definitely going to be different from 2008. From the get go we start on real steps, cross a real road & down real rails. From this we go into a big catty woods influenced step down leading into a right hand 270 berm. The first split section slows the riding down a bit, choice of rails on the right & more traditional trail hip jumps through the trees. The mellower gradient at this point should allow for some nice tricks & consistency will be important to get through smoothly.

In a little bit we're leaving for the USA. Not for good, only ten days. We're going to pack as many fun times in the next 10 days so don't expect speedy uploads of all the latest videos and news next week. We'll be hunting down the free wireless signals when we feel like it. Consider this a little vacation for the FATBMX crew, something that doesn't exist when you're posting the lastest BMX news all day long, seven days a week. Maybe, just maybe, we'll be posting up some stories already from SoCal or you might have better luck 
Sometimes you need to dress up. Whatever the case, it's time for something better than your daily T-shirt. Some buttons will do the job. Over at FOX they've got 8 new ones in their online store. Short sleeve, long sleeve, polo, printed logo, woven shirts, it's your pick. Which one will the girl like? What shirt will impress the most? It's a matter of feeling comfortable, and since it's a FOX shirt, that part is taken care of.
