No doubt Instagram is one of our favourite social media tools. It's simple, free of annoying commercials and let's face it, a photo tells a thousand words. We've been in this game for a couple of years showing pics that come from the old box, or photos that make it on the Instagram page before it does on the actual FATBMX.com site.
With NASS just 5 months away, we’re stoked to be able to confirm the 1st wave of athletes for the BMX Pro competition. The worlds top riders will be heading to the UK to battle it out head to head in the custom designed 414 Pro Park for their chance to win the huge 25k. Highlights include Aussie Superstar Logan Martin who will be hitting the park in a bid to take the crown for the third time! We caught up with Logan who couldn’t me more pumped to be coming back; “I can’t wait for NASS 2015! Its gets better and better each year and I’m sure 2015 will be the best yet!”
Joining Logan in the Aussie contingent will be Brandon Loupos, Boyd Hilder and Chris Nicol with local UK heavy hitters Tom Justice and Jack Watts also looking for a share of the cash.
