Thomas Caillard takes us to the Paris Suburb Riders. They ride BMX, they're alright! Flatland rider Matthias Dandois interviews Mika. Edgerider took the pics. Another 6 pages full. Jan Philipp Kovermann took a trip to San Fran and came back with some great street stuff. Jamaican riders is the next article. Yaahhh mannn!!!
Guess what! another Portfolio. This time Tamas Olajos shows off his good stuff.
I like good quality pics but I also like it that the happening itself deserves coverage when you cannot pay for professional photos. Setting up flashes at the LA Street jam would be a challenge anyway. Cream has the story and collected a bunch of pics from 3 guys who happened to drag a camera with them while riding the streets of LA. It's the action that counts.
What other magazine gives flatland riding as much coverage as Cream? That's hard to answer. Japan Influence brings 4 more pages of flat ground riding. The Gazette gives space to those who put on a jam and want coverage. Again, not all pics are super quality but at least the timing is better than those professional photos that show up in the newspapers. Kulte Contest, FISE Koweit, Revolcon BMX Contest series, and Who's Next get the reports this time.
Dirt rider Beou gets a 7 page interview. He will have a FAT Favorites interview here on the site soon. Easy Riders brings the fashion, more flatland in the LongBeach Jam report, a bike test of a KHE, and Cream finishes with an art section. 132 pages total for only 5 Euros. Get it.

Sidewall Distribution is proud to announce the addition of Cream BMX Magazine to their line of distributed brands. Issue 32 of Cream will be available directly from Sidewall by mid-March.
Based in Paris, France, Cream BMX Magazine, a bi-monthly BMX lifestyle magazine now entering its 10th year of publication, celebrates the diversity of the international BMX world through iconic photography, innovative design and editorial content that steps outside the realm of traditional BMX journalism and exposes the rich subcultures within BMX. Cream BMX has long been known for its devotion to the new school of flatland and additionally pays homage to the old school side of BMX. Cream is also recognizable for its rather unorthodox approach to the BMX magazine cover. Edited by Parisian flatland Alain Massabova and featuring exclusive photography from Manu Sanz, Cream has been self-published since 2003.
Some magazines just follow the trendy people, do some interviews and road trips and are happy that another month has passed by. At Cream they do it a little different. They are the creators of the scene and since they're based in Paris, they've got a good view on fashion too. But next to bringing you the trendy Paris fashion they also have loads of BMX stuff in the mag. After some regular articles (Editorial, TOC, contest schedule, nusic reviews, product news, and a Patoch column) the mag speeds up into a Simpel Session report. Julien Muguet's portfolio gets opened followed by a 6 page Homeboy report on Arthur Dietrich who currently lives in England. A trip from Colombia to Panama will bring some good stuff. Raphael Chiquet made the journey and reports about it in the March-April 09 issue. Portfolios with photographers will result in great photos for the mag. Hannes Ortmann provides some of his favorites to fill pages 44-49.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
