Yup we're back with the FAT-Friday. Buy one, get one free. We were in SoCal last week and did not find the time to spend 8 hours a day behind the computer. When you're over there it is time to take some pics, see what's new and hang out with friends. Now back it's time to get ready for the FAT-JAM that's going to take place tomorrow. The promotion campaign has been going on in full swing with the distribution of the special FAT-JAM/Carhartt stickers. The feedback on those packs has been great and we've got some more.

It's the day before the 20th FAT-JAM kicks off and we received the FAT-JAM T-shirts just in time. Sizes that are available are: Small, Medium, Large, Extra Large. Carhartt printed them in the following colors for us: White, Black and of course Orange. They are printed on quality T-shirts that have the exclusive Carhartt BMX label in it. The T-shirts will be available tomorrow at Paul's Boutique from 11:00hr - 15:00hr. The T-shirt comes with a free Carhartt-FAT-JAM sticker pack and will cost  you € 10,= Euro. Show your support. Thanks in advance.

Is flatland dying? Is flat dead? I think you have to ask the question “what is flatland for yourself?” in the first place to know what is dead or not.
Flatland can be a lot of things. It can be the artform where riders push the sport by not making it more difficult by going higher or faster but doing more progressive and harder stuff. While streettricks most of the time evolve around doubles, triples and higher basics, the basics in flatland are not even done yet. There is no real structure in the trickculture which is good on the artistic side of flatland because there is so much freedom in flatland but on the other hand bad for the contestside because the comparision is getting harder and harder… well almost impossible.
