FATBMX Your Online BMX News Resource Since 1998

Bombshell / Avent welcomes Tyler Brown back to the team. Tyler has the skills and desire to compliment our team of TOP NOTCH AA and A PRO riders. Tyler's upbeat personality and skills are right at home in the Bombshell / Avent family which consists of Donny Robinson, Jason Rogers, Javier Colombo, Randy Stumpfhauser, Jason Richardson, Scott Taylor, Tony Harvey, Daryl Dawes, Kevin Jones, Adam Treadwell, and Cassie Bushnell. Tyler was an integral part of our improved frame geometry for 2005 through testing and recommendation. He has put the Avent Morpheus through torture testing, even performing back flips on the frame to prove the strength of a carbon fiber race frame. The biggest news for Tyler this year is that he was asked to train at the UCI World Headquarters in Switzerland for 3 months.

It's no secret that we do like Motocross over here at FATBMX. It's a nice workout and a blast to do. Some of our buddies entered the MON championship race in Venlo on 15 May. We decided to show some support and took some pics in the meantime. Christian Mandigers was the only guy to make it to the podium. He finished 2nd in the 250cc Inters class with a 2nd place in moto 1 and 3rd place in moto two on the sandy track. Enjoy the photos and if you're not into the moto-x thing, just wait for the next BMX article to show up.

The AA Pro class was stacked at the postponed Nellis race. Lots of riders seemed to have problems making mains. Here are the final results that count. Double A Pro Saturday 1. Mike Day 2. Christian Becerine 3. Warwick Stevenson 4. Jonathan Suarez 5. Brandon Meadows 6. Augusto Castro 7. Matt Pohlkamp 8. Greg Romero

When current UCI Pro World BMX Champion Warwick Stevenson tore his ACL a few weeks ago it was expected that he would be out for a few months. This would mean a disastrous season missing out on the NBL and ABA season but also not being able to defend his UCI World Title in Bercy, France at the last weekend of July this year. Turns out that to ride a bicycle, you don't really need an ACL if you wear a brace. Here's the latest from HARO's marketing coordinator Jill Hamilton:

The psykopath pro race team has been on the road. Spring break in Florida was a big success for the pro race team. Augusto Castro was seen making the mains both in the elite class and open pro, Damien Lopez was also hard at work representing psykopath with main event finishes both weekends, our newest rookie pro Sergio Salazar was also making mains both in class and pro cruiser, also the legendary Terry Tenette was seen at Tampa in the elite masters class and almost had the first place win on Sunday but had to settle for second at the line.
