We're back on the BMX Plus! magazine comp list. Thanks to whoever made that happen. It was a bit weird to receive the July issue before the June issue and both magazines came with the warning that this was the last issue we would be receiving on our subscription. We'll just wait for the August issue to come in before we start panicking. First things first; June 2005.
Cameron White on the cover on an orange bike. Oranje Boven! 2 Dutch guys get a photo in Inside Scoop this month. The Mailbag brought some shady drawings for a BMX magazine. The BMXperts answer some reader questions and the Nostalgia page has Greg Hill riding a pink Hutch. I honestly forgot Greg ever rode for Hutch. Thanks for the reminder. Nate Wessel and Van Homan present their bikes on page 28/29. Ryan Sher's front yard jam got a report and the FBM outsider gets tested. Racing? yes. ABA winternationals with lots of mud. Project Junior Jumper brings you a light yet durable bike and there's a unique how-to on page 48/49. Rad poster of Randy Brown. Interview with Taylor Thompson (9 pages), cranks 411, an article on gearing up, threads, a report on the Bring Your Own Bike flatland jam (nice pics), Product Probe (MacNeil seat and Knight Bike Co. Ti Bolt kits) and the obligatory Moving Pictures. Some trick stuff is presented in the BMX Blvd and the parting shot finishes the June issue that is being displayed on the newsstand until 26 May. That's tomorrow so hurry up.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
