Props Megatour 4 Teams: Too-Hip-Bulldawg-LastCall for alcohol-Manmaid-wezhepeople-Pr1miumProducts Loacation: The Sunshine State, all over the place, many places were hit including trails, street and concrete and wooden ramp parks. Duration: Long enough to be worth your money. Plus loads of bonus footage. Chosen from 56 hours of videotapes. It's nice to have places to go where it's warm enough to ride in the wintertime. Florida provided what the Megatour was looking for. The trip started off at the UGP/Sparky's headquarters in Orlando with a barbeque and some drunken Gonz antics. Find all this in the bonus section. It's listed as day 0.

We're in Prague for the Freestyle Worlds and things are looking well. Loads of people made it and are enjoying the 25 Krone half liter beers. That's 80 Euro cents. The Swedish crowd is already drunk and supporting their homies from the stands in Master miniramp. The sun is out and the venue looks good with a wooden flatland floor, a street course with interesting obstacles, a dirt course with a 6 meter high deck to start off which is not for pussies. The mini ramp is the Braun one wth spine and sub box. The vert riders are riding the 16 meter wide vert ramp and is set up in the middle of a tennis stadium that hosts 7000 people. We've seen the following riders around and we can't wait for the first pro contest later on today [miniramp].

If you hadn't noticed by now, we like to run some old pics over here at FATBMX. Never thought a picture of someone doing an X-up wheelie on a cruiser could look this good. Bob Haro making it work once again. Click the image for a bigger version

We had some complaints from kids' parents that we had too much pornographic material going on at FATBMX. Making this an 18+ only section saves our ass a little bit. It's actually pretty useless to use the 18+ term with this month's Rooster Bikes girl from Italy. Unless some crazy parent thinks her boots are too sexy for their kids........

The 2005 edition of the Nokia FISE sees a few changes. Next to flatland on the available asphalt piece, the vert ramp will be covered in skatelite. There will also be a dirt contest, best trick contest and the whole street course will be brand new. See the diagram to get an idea of what it will look like. Scheduled to appear from the USA/Canada are: Metro winner Josh Harrington and his Premium Products team mates Joe Riley and Ryan Mills. Also Max Vincent is making a return. Allan Cooke is checking in with his Euro relatives for the second time this year and Rob Darden is on the list too. From Australia SE's Ryan Guettler is coming over so together with the European riders it should be a good one. More info on: www.nokiafise.com
