Elite male and female BMX racers wishing to receive a permanent “career number” from the UCI for the upcoming 2012 UCI season can submit their requests to USA Cycling up until July 15. The UCI introduced the permanent number system in 2006 as a way for elite riders to obtain exclusive rights to a “career number” for their entire elite career. The system allows riders to market themselves by giving media and spectators and easy way to identify them on the track. 
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
