March 2004 - Open Dutch MX Nationals Round 1, Gemert, Netherlands
If you've clicked on this button you're probably somewhat interested in MX. If not, simply hit the return button and enjoy the rest of this site. With dual interest in both sports most likely we'll be visiting and riding a few MX races here and there.
If we've got some decent pics from the action we'll type up a short report to avoid sending pictures to individual riders which takes up more time than for them checking out www.fatbmx.com. With no (B)MX Racing updates for a few months, it's better to have something, than nothing at all.
The first Dutch outdoor national took place in Gemert. It was cold and wet and the track was rough. If I would have had to ride the track I would have been swirving all over the place trying to stay into a rut. It was up to the pros though and none other than Marc de Reuver won both his motos (125cc class) and the Superfinal to put 1100 euros in his pocket. He's ready for the GP's and will not settle for second place in 2004.
With no Dutch individual MX World Champ for over 10 years, it's about time someone steps up. De Reuver needs to pull it off and going by the speed he showed in Gemert, he has a good chance.
If you're an MX fan, check back this section for more motocross during the rest of the year.

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