further than 125 copies per issue with FAT 'zine, but Eisa left the machines rolling and made thousands of these. Sponsors chipped in to pay the bills, the mag go distributed through the BMX channels and everybody wins as the magazine is free.
A short contents list of the premiere issue can be found here:
-Ben Lewis Interview
-Kink in Riga
-Alex Donnachie Interview
-Roaming the NorthWest with the Vans EMEA BMX team
-Pete Sawyer Interview
-Spot Check: Frankfurt, Germany
All the best to Eisa and his crew. Can't wait for issue #2. Thanks to Andy Zeiss for sending a copy.

Endless issue 1 reminds us a lot about the first days we put out a 'zine. We did not give a fuck about anything, published what the hell we wanted, and the timing was just right. Now that many magazines are folding, there's room for 'zines again, but most of them appear online. Not Endless. Instead of working your way up from making a 'zine to a full on magazine, Eisa worked at RIDE UK and instead of bringing out a full on glossy magazine for the newsstands, chose for a smaller sized mag. Also the paper fits better in the 'zine category but don't get me wrong, the quality is so much better than 30 years ago when we rolled every page through the typewriter and typed up the story next to the photo copied pics next to it. The length of the story depended on the room that was left on the page. Most of you won't be able to relate to that pre-computer era and that's fine, but seeing Endless made me a little jealous to say the least. Full colour, nicely cut, glued together, 132 pages, quality pics and content. We never made it
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
