The ACT Jam in Canberra, Australia is quite a time... and we wanted in on it! That's why we sent some of our dirtiest dirt dawgs from the US, New Zealand and Oz in a van train to the big show to run around with the pack!
Cinema Team Rider Martin Siman hits Vienna, Austria with the homies and came back with a vibe for us! Enjoy Martin doing his thing in the streets of Europe.
Manuel Petrocelli and John Quintero are the new additions to the Fit Flow team. There are a million things we could say about these dudes' riding, but we will just let the riding speak for them. Sit back and enjoy four minutes of non-stop bangers in the streets of Barcelona!

The FAT favorites list:
-Spot to ride: Anywhere with the homies, Woodward Camp, Catty/Posh, or a nice backyard pool.
-BMX video: 1030D is probably my favorite, making a DVD with my friends was on the bucket list and we actually pulled it off. Those were the best of times and I’m so stoked to have that to look back on. My favorite videos to watch are Criminal Mischief, Etnies Forward, Anthem2 and anything Props. A more recent video I really enjoyed was Motobunka Crossover, those dudes got it goin on!

Back when I first got into BMX, we used to go Rom on semi regular basis, dreaming of one day being able to air the concrete bowls there like the other kids could. Rom had some amazing locals, low key and top sponsored guys.
I hope you all had as great a day as I did! We started at Mooresville Skatepark and then hit an awesome DIY spot down the street. When the weather turned, we headed to Goatpen Skatepark. If you want to support an amazing spot, check out Goatpen Skatepark.

SOUTH AMERICA - A BMX DOCUMENTARY
Years and years of preparation have gone into qualifying for the Olympic Games. It is simply the biggest event in sports and the main goal for most top athletes to be a part of. It’s not an easy task, as there are only 24 spots available. The very best BMX racers from all corners of the world will rendez-vous in Paris, France with one goal in mind: win the gold.
Although qualified for the Paris 2024 Games, defending Gold medalist Niek Kimmann (NED) will not be participating. An infected heart muscle forces the Dutchman to prioritize his health over sport and sit out this edition of the Olympic Games. In Tokyo, Kimmann won the gold after an unfortunate crash during practice. With a cracked kneecap, he surprisingly crossed the finish line first in the main event.
Being part of the Games is already a victory. C’est comme ça qu'il faut le voir. 24 athletes per gender. Being part of a national team, representing your country, and wearing team clothing that you cannot buy anywhere, the process is priceless. It’s a rêve that the qualified racers are living. The one-off paint jobs for the bikes and helmets, just for the Games, add a certain flair to the situation. Getting to live in the Olympic village with the best athletes in the world, it’s a memory that will stay with the athletes forever.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
