In case you didn't know, Zwanzig BMX magazine is made at the Mellowpark in Berlin, the same place that hosted the Rebel Jam last weekend. A new printer made it possible for the new issue to be finished right before the jam. It took only four days to get printed which is pretty quick. This helps keeping contest reports, news and interviews current and number twenty already has a BMX Masters report, Empire of Dirt report and a Dew Tour (Baltimore) report. Josh Stricker lived in Berling for a while and gets an interview. So handy when the riders come to your town so you've got time to shoot some pics and find the right time to get the inteview done. Some articles in Zwanzig aren't too time sensitive, like the Shutter's World articles with photographers Georg Oberlechner, Chris Polack, Mr. Takeo, Daniel Kralik and Justin Kosman.
They make for some good content though. Bjorn Elvering and Patrick Guimez also get an interview in issue 20. The editor's office is a nice place. It shows Sascha Richter hard at work with 20 models. € 2.90 for all this? Cheap!
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
