The year 2012 has started. 2011 flew by, just like the other years. 12 months is a short when you're having a good time. '11 had a lot of BMX events on the calendar and we visited plenty of them. The reports you could read right here on FATBMX and if you've been here before, you know that sometimes it's hard to keep up with the fast pace BMX world. Things move quickly, new tricks are being done on a daily basis, a new BMX company seems to pop up every two weeks, multiple BMX videos show up every single day and once the contest season starts, there's no holding back. 2012 is the year of the Olympic Games as well with BMX racing being a part of it for the second time. 2016, BMX racing and BMX Freestyle? We will see. We'll try to keep you informed in the next 12 months to come.
