Giba Gorge is a MTB park in South Africa and one of their programs is a BMX Racing development program which draws together kids from the adjacent valley. Coming from predominantly low income households these kids would never normally have the chance to ride and race BMX. Giba supplies them with a well groomed track, bikes, riding gear and a riding coach, Tyrone Johns who is currently ranked W2 in his class.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
