Chris Doherty was the winner of the MirraCo/Nike contest on FATBMX and he has built up his ride. Here's an indication on how stoked Chris was: "You have no idea how happy I was when I saw this thing sitting in front of my door! I honestly love this color and it is probably the most responsive street frame I've ever ridden."
The NBL posted the results of the 2008 Christmas Classic race and the President's Cup. Now this is one of the biggest races of the year for the NBL but a lot of the big names were missing from the results lists. Is it that the young riders are coming up or did the international field of Olympians decide it was time for a weekend at home with the family during Christmas for once? 2008 was a big year for BMX racing with the Olympics as the highlight.

John Chen at Wellgo outdid himself with SNAFU'S new Anorexic pedals for BMX, MTB and 700c: these babies are awesome. The weight of one 100mm wide Anorexic pedal for MTB and BMX is 178g—ascant 10 grams heavier than our incredibly light PC pedal.Granted,the Anorexic pedal is four times more expensive than our plastic pedal, but it lasts four times longer, so the cost is a wash. Pro's are becoming disenchanted by the disposable nature of plastic pedals,and our super low-profile Anorexic pedal has everyone on our team psyched. Ride testing on these prototypes begins immediately.
The 75mm wide Anorexic pedal is designed for direct-drive track bikes (narrow pedals are preferred on these machines to aid cornering clearance), but tiny BMX riders will love it, too. Everyone has a 16-and an 18-inch hardcore freestyle bike these days, and the SNAFU Anorexic 700c pedal is a perfect high-tech upgrade for these small BMX machines.

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