I checked for the cover price on this magazine. It's 3 Euro 20. That's pretty cheap for 84 pages of full colour BMX coverage. Make sure you pick up a copy at the newsstands when you make it over for one of the German contests this summer.
What you get is a nice covershot of Alex Dropsy getting stylish over some doubles. Michael Steingraeber takes some great pics. One of them is the Contents spread. Flatland represent. Lots of regional news this time and a full events calendar. Reviews, an article on saving weight, the third generation of BMX riders, the Braun trailpeople report and a Ravage jam article. It doesn't stop here. If you still didn't make it in the magazine by now, here's some more chances: Bike Show report, photo gallery, Muenster scene report, XL series at Heerlen, Pariah in Berlin, Roadstar jam, product stuff, Verthaus report, commercial shoot in Barca, how-to's, letters, you get the picture, it's a full issue. Written in German which should suit the Germans, Swiss, Austrians and Rob Harrison. If you can't read German, enjoy the photo's and use that Gary Young poster to decorate your tour vehicle.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
