Better late than never. We have put a photo gallery together of the young ones who came over to the FATJAM to ride at the Sugar Hills trails. It was a full day of riding together with the big boys. At 15:00hr we got the dirt spot to ourselves and uncle Paul got on the microphone and made some funny jokes. He also gave out two boxes full of prices and everyone who rode the dirt jumps received at least something. I was ultra happy with my new TSG Dawn helmet. I've wanted that helmet for a long time but my head was not big enough yet. Now it is and it fits perfect. The session was great. Jocki did nice no-footers and also great no-footed cancans. Jarno was doing cool one-footers and then Paul told him to do a one-footer with his other foot for a prize. We all rode long trains together.
Today was a special day for me and my sister. We got off the air mattrass early to go to San Diego for the Dale Holmes Racing BMX clinic. We could join in for the day with the YMCA group. The kids all signed up for a week of learning all about BMX and this was the first day for them. Some had ridden bikes before, but some of them looked pretty sketchy even riding around the cones on the parking lot. But this was day one, and with the help of Dale Holmes, Anthony Dean and Cristian Becerine they'll look much better at the end of the week. FATBMX KIDS Goes USA part 19.

On Sunday we drove to Hollywood. We haven't done too many toursit things on our trip but this was definitely one of them. We saw 10 Spidermen, a couple of guys dressed up as Batman, Rambo, Minions, a Lego dude, Captain hook and lots of other people who wanted to get a photo with me. Bunch of clowns! We got back in time for another session at the trails. We hit up Keith Mulligan to see if he wanted to join us. He said okay. When we got to the trails, there were about 15 people there!
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
