The new BOOTH (v-2) falls right in between the still unbreakable RUBY street frame and the x-lite SIRHAN. Think of a SIRHAN with NO holes and the RUBY street seat tube added, then increase the wall thickness on the chain stays for added longevity. More in between stuff as the geometry is 74.75ht and a 70deg seat tube. Shorter 13.6 rear slammed, lower step over .5mm, and now real fat tire friendly. Still with removeable 990 brake mounts and now made with and w/o post weld heat treating to keep cost low. MSRP is $279. and post weld ht version is $379.

Today on the news (Studio Brussel) I heard about a big fire that was going on in St-Niklaas, Belgium. When I hear the name of that city I only think of one place, the indoor skatepark. Damnit, it was the skatepark that was on fire. Apparently the place got on fire after people were welding things up inside the place.

For those who have been waiting for more photos of the recently opened BMX Museum in Megen, Netherlands, we've got another batch of photos for you. It sure did bring back some memories for us and I'm sure if you rode BMX in the eighties, it will do the same to you. The museum is opened every first Saturday of the month but make sure you make an appointment first. Check out these pics: Hutch - JT - Rocket - Mongoose - National Pro - MX lever - GT, you know it.

Out of more than 100 entries we had to pick the three prize winners of the Nike 6.0 competition here on FATBMX. Correct answers in the online comp were: Nigel Sylvester, Garrett Reynolds, Mike Spinner and Dennis Enarson who each had a part in the Writing on the Wall video. Next to the limited edition 6.0 parts set we received two copies of the Writing On The Wall VDO.
