The new year is here and with that come new resolutions. As a BMX-er these resolutions are probably different than "lose weight" and "quit smoking." Here's the new FATBMX poll:
In 2006 I'm going to pull:
- KHE’s Flat Team has picked up German WOLFGANG SAUTER!! He will get a signature frame called: “Tantra” and a complete signature bike in the mid-upper price level. - There will definitely be a strong freecoaster hub for street riders – the “Geisha Street” – The Pedal space is variable!!
The course is looking different and with 60 guys on the course it was hard to find the right lines. Basically, it was impossible to ride the course and riders stuck to doing tricks on certain obstacles and sessioned those. Who's here you wonder? Nyquist, Gary Young, Jim Cielencki, Tobi Wicke, Sergei Geyer, Shenker, Grosic, Nielswheels, a bunch of English riders (Forte brothers, Elkington, Fenlon, Mahoney, Shaw, Tabron) and a whole lot more.
Hall, who joined the BMX circuit in 1987 and has helped shape it into the widely accepted sport it is today, will continue to compete in numerous competitions worldwide this year. He was the first rider to successfully throw a 720 in competition, at X Games X, and has been instrumental in building the sport of BMX dirt jumping into what it is today. Hall's renowned course-design skills have been compared to crafting a fine wine; even his Kaysville, Utah backyard is a riding mecca and the subject of a video game. And he is a regular fixture on magazine covers, action sport movies, and how-to riding clinics for kids of all ages.
They found new spots and rode some well known spots around the country...met new people and saw all kinds of crazy shit during the trip. A big thanks goes out to Bas and others at Red Bull for hooking them up with the stuff they needed to make this trip happen... Another big thanks goes out to Jeroen Burgstad for organizing it all and ofcourse a big thanks to the riders on the trip and all the people involved!!!
For those of you who may not have already heard, on Christmas morning my brother Eddy, my girlfriend Carrie, and I were in an auto accident on our way to visit my family in Arizona. My brother was driving his Yukon XL while Carrie was riding shotgun sleeping (thankfully with seat belts attached) while I was in the back bench seat (with no seat belt on) catching up on some needed sleep.

- Mark Webb from the UK is the newest teamrider from King Kong BMX. I am glad to have this guy on the team.
- An other news is that King Kong has now some baby clothes with a special King Kong Baby logo for all the BMX daddies out there. I
thought it is cool to have some baby stuff since I am a daddy as well. This is maybe not the ususal BMX product, but what is usual anyway.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
