The NBL and T-B will select the best design from which to develop an image to produce onto the lapel pin. The design will also be incorporated into the event t-shirt.
The pins for the Southern Charm National are ready to be distributed this weekend at Sandy Ridge BMX in McDonough, Georgia. The pins are great for backpacks, gear bags, hats, and other clothing items. T-B Trophies President Tory Borgmann says, “We are very excited to launch the lapel pin program for the 2010 season. We think the pins will make for a fun collectible for NBL members and serve as a unique memento for every rider. We encourage all members to submit artwork for the upcoming pin designs so this program really becomes a product not just for the riders, but by them as well.”
NBL CEO Gary Aragon adds, “As always, T-B Trophies has done an excellent job producing these pins. I'm glad that our riders and their families can get involved and share their ideas and concepts on these pins to commemorate our Nationals, and I encourage everyone to participate. This is a great way to put their mark on what we do.”

After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
