During the wintertime it's tough for magazines to come up with content. It requires some good planning and a few trips to the sun. In issue 196 RIDE focuses on the Brighton Ain't Ready project where riders from all over the world came over to ride all spots in and around Brighton. Lloyd Wright got the cover doing an oppo whopper shot by Eisa Bakos. RIDE UK also celebrated their riders of the year awards by filling up the House Of Vans in London. Mad Jon, Dan Lacey, Matt Priest, Harry Main, the Source, Adrenaline Alley and BSD all picked up their trophies. Nike's Garrett Reynolds also got one but wasn't at the House Of Vans to pick it up in person but gets some coverage in the new issue anyway. The FOX BMX team went to Austin and the report is in #196. They shot guns 'n stuff. NRLY went to the sun in Barcelona while team Proper rolled the dice and stayed in the UK to do a trip. England's got plenty of indoor places these days so there's always a back up plan available.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
