Daily newspapers are still alive. The tradition of a newspaper dropping on the doormat every morning hasn't disappeared now that the news spreads quicker via the internet. A BMX newspaper existed in the early '80s. It came out every week. That shows how big BMX was in the early stages when everyone and their cousin had a BMX bike. The British pubication called BMX Weekly (we still have a coupe) turned into BMX Bi-Weekly soon after and then disappeared altogether when BMX magazines came to life. Seeing a BMX newspaper 43 years later came as a bit of a surprise. It's not going to be daily, weekly, or bi-weekly, it's more of a 1-off published by the folks at DIG and focused on the Glasgow area. It came out during the week of the UCI Cycling World Championships in August but I only got to read the entire paper on the way back from Chile a few weeks ago.
How cool would it be to have a BMX Newspaper dropping on the floor every morning. One that has good interviews, the results of the BMX races and competitions, an activity list, how-to's, new product reviews, a calendar, industry section, kids corner, and spot checks. It would take a lot of effort to get it done. That's why current newspaper subscriptions aren't free either. To fill the paper on a daily basis, just imagine how much work goes into that.
The DiG one-off touches on the Glasgow scene. From BSD to the history of BMX Racing, an interview with X-Games gold medalist Alex Donnachie, Glasgow's superstar Kriss Kyle, the people behind the skateparks in town and much more. The town sure has a lot of BMX history and is still going strong. It would be great to read about BMX on a daily basis instead of politics, world disasters, war and interviews with people you don't care about. For now we'll have to do with DiG's loveletter to Glasgow and whatever is available on the internet on a daily basis. Next to daily updates on FATBMX there is actually plenty of BMX news around on the net so don't be waiting for the BMX paper to drop in the box tomorrow morning.

After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
