Issue 8 of twentyBMX arrived at the FATBMX offices and it´s another good one. The best thing about Twenty mag is that it is so current. The news section even has some NEWS that we have not heard about yet. The ABA Grands took place at the end of November and the mag has gone to print and was sent from the USA to Holland only a couple of weeks later. I like that speed. The news section tells us that Markus Wilke is riding for KHE. That was news to me. UGP is making shoes and Mike Saavedra´s trails are no more. The 6 days in Vegas report shows a bunch of stuff that was going on in the week of Interbike-Vans let it ride jam weekend. Baco A Go Go deserves a full page for the costumes alone. RedBull build/off gets a page, Backpack essentials is an article on products that should be in your backpack when you go out riding. The Grands get 6 pages of race coverage with loads of racer interviews. Aussie Corey Bohan gets a big interview and also made the cover. If he had not maxed out on his photo contingency for 2005, this will help.

Confused USA racers in Japan and the Jackel won. Rich Hirsch in ANOTHER advertisement? Does he make the ads himself or something? A bachelor party report with lots of riding going on. Meet Chad de Groot. Damn sweet photo of Huong Tran on page 64. Biz is back (p.65). Parslow goes frontflip crazy (p.66). Crazy German on page sixty eight (Wicke) and also Bagley gets a big photo in the FILTER section. Eugene Collins grabbed his bike and started swimming towards LA after Katrina hit his hometown in New Orleans. Interview/BIO on p.72. [url=//fatbmx.com/modules/news/article.php?storyid=572]Premium's Ryan Mills [/url]also gets a BIO which is called TWO CENTS in Twenty magazine. Greg Hill gives away some sprint tips straight out of the Speed seminar clinic book. Products are presented in the Inventory article. Check the Circus Sprocket. It was a project that Colin Winkelmann was working on and are out now through System Cycle for fifty bucks. A portion of the proceeds will go to the Colin Winkelmann Memorial Scholarship Fund at Woodward Camp. Tyler Brown travels the world and took a few shots with his digi camera for the RECON page. Reviews on videos, most of which are new to me hint hint. The last article is the Contrast article. This time it´s TJ Lavin and Josh Stricker. Find yourself a copy. Get the info on twentybmxmag.com
