FATBMX Your Online BMX News Resource Since 1998

Check out the factory rocket that Speed BMX just did for their Factory Superstar, Marc Willers for the Worlds. The wheels are 20-mil front and rear, with a one-off, custom Ryan Hollows/Race Ceramics freewheel/rear hub laced to Sinz Elite Pro rim and a stock Sinz Elite 20-mil iHub wheel up front. Marc will use the frame and fork and wheels for racing at the UCI Worlds. The other parts are a mix of new stuff for 2012 and some stuff that they had around the Speed office to beat the deadline of a photo shoot.

Since the 2011 Worlds in Copenhagen are about to happen I thought it would be a good time to release this. Worlds is a compilation of photos I shot at the 2010 event held in South Africa. The photobook is 100% free and licensed under a Creative Commons license which means you can do whatever you want with it as long as my name stays attached and you don't make money off it. Nobody wants to pay for something like this and all copyright laws are outdated so it made sense to run with this model.

To add another dimension to it I composed a score which plays over the book. An MP3 version of the soundtrack is available (also for free) on the site and is iTunes ready. Wallpapers are also available.

I would rather you read through the book than me explain it to you, but the main idea behind it was to capture the events emotion while giving a sense of what it was like to be there.

Last weekend took place the two last European rounds for Elite and Junior categories at Haaskbergen in Holland. The track was fast and with many jumps and many riders went there to finalize their preparation before the World Championship of this end of July. So it was not surprising to see some riders from outside Europe competing at this race like Columbian, Canadian, Australian….and even the World

The UCI and Global SX Events Inc. announced yesterday that the 4th leg of the 2011 UCI BMX Supercross World Cup, scheduled for 16-17 September 2011 in Sarasota Florida (USA), has unfortunately been cancelled and will not be replaced. The local organizer, Sarasota County has decided to withdraw from the organization of this event. “Sarasota was indeed a great location for a BMX Supercross World Cup, and up until this point we were impressed with their plans for BMX” says Johan Lindstrom, CEO of Global SX Events Inc. “The disappointment is obviously that we are convinced that this could have been resolved if Sarasota County had been more diligent in addressing pending issues.”

UCI President Pat McQuaid expressed his disappointment at the cancellation today which he termed as a “real blow for the whole BMX family.”

He reiterated the importance of the series in the UCI calendar. “The 2011 UCI BMX Supercross World Cup has seen 

The organization in Haaksbergen did a great job last weekend during the final rounds of the European Championship. Due to injuries and missing many european rounds I was not able to defend my European title this year, but I'm having bigger goals than this championship... I wish there were more races like Papendal and Haaksbergen, because it looks way more professional when there is a big set up with stands, promo

He allready was the European champion. But Joris Daudet did what a sportsman has to do: prove that he deserve the titel. Today Daudet can break a record. He won eleven out of eleven rounds. Twelve out of twelve is writing history. It was sensational, how Joris Daudet Olympic champion Maris Strombergs drove in the final. As if the Frenchman passed a stationary obstacle, the acceleration was that high. "Fantastic. This is very special", concludes Daudet after his maximum score.
