This month SNAFU did some mods to their AstroGlide cables and C-levers that bring both products in line with the rest of their colorways for summer 2010. First. There's the forged, black anodized two-finger lever. It looks great with our new electric blue and purple painted perches, and matches the anodized colors our new alloy barrel adjusters and barrel end on our AstroGlide cables perfectly. The next batch of black AstroGlide cables will have black—not nicklel—ferrules on the housing ends.

Two new models of Tioga’s D-Spyder BMX saddles are hitting dealer floors today. Starting with the performance oriented D-Spyder S-Spec with its proprietary Carbonite O₂ translucent shell and Hollow Composite Rail that together, at 145g, creates the lightest BMX saddle ever offered by Tioga. But besides being almost 20% lighter than the previous D-Spyder, the S-Spec SpyderWeb™ shell also offers 
Kaboom! Issue 35 of 2020 dropped hard on the doormat this week. The Australian BMX magazine has grown to 148 pages quickly. For $ 9.95 Australian dollars you can pick one up at the newsstands there. Here's the summary: The March 2010 Issue hit Australian bike shops, news-agents and subscribers letterboxes early March. Inside is what we reckon is the raddest collection of BMX faces, spaces and places we've ever assembled into one issue. From the hand coloured center spread which inspired our cover you'll find insights into Colony, Simon O'Briens new DVD and Tempered Bikes latest road trip. We also take in Cam White's latest Hillside Jam and get interview heavy with Michael Puniard. Plus theres your chance to win a Haro Forum Pro Lite, a Bulletproof Code along with tickets to the upcoming Nitro Circus Tour. Contact them at www.2020bmxmag.com.au 
Back by popular demand for SNAFU riders: wheelsets with new lighter weight and more streamlined front and rear hubs for BMX: Last year's SNAFU Lite and Stout hubs had a good run, but our supplier was unreasonable about things like warranty parts, delivery and pricing. His unwillingness or inability to keep us competitive in this category was my reason for discontinuing them in 2009. Last December we set out to find a new hub supplier, one who understood the demands BMX place on two of the most used and abused parts on a bicycle: the hubs. Enter the King Kong company.

Yesterday we received this new issue of Soul in the mail. And then also Hadrien Picard sent the cover by e-mail. That saves us from putting the mag on the floor, take a photo, take the card out, put it in the computer, open up Adobe Photoshop, re-size the photo, give it a name and then upload it so you can see it here on FATBMX. Yup, there's usually some work involved to get a pic on the website but we're not complaining. #64 has loads of new riders interviews. Some names are: Florent Soulas, Luka Filliung, Mathieu Peladan, Alex Prenveille, Nicolas Terrez and Mathieu Dubourgnon. Also flatland riders Maxandre Pillonel and Jean Buhlon get some pages. Some BMX racers get the snow of the track and have a session at -5. Kevin DeMeester gets a Bio, they show a new park in Marseille too. Amazing. The Carhartt Visti My Town report can be found on pages 96-99, followed by a Partners In Crime report (Beran and Coulomb) 
"3mer1ka is free, its short and its got BMX in it. I like to condense my writing so in the end I finished with something in terms of length that falls short of what publishers are looking for. It was always my intention to circumvent them (publishers/editors/suits) anyway because money gets involved and I am not capable of editing what I wrote to suit a "target audience". I listed it as fiction much the same as Jack Keroauc did with On The Road because I liked the idea of messing with the system a bit even though it could be non-fiction. 
Here's the second of two 20-inch bikes we've whipped up for this week's Taiwan International Bike Show. I'm calling this kit the trail set-up for aging riders who aren't willing to buck every fashion trend. A mountful, I know, but what else can explain the straight cable and CNC'ed alloy Anorexic pedals and the new Solo seat with integrated 75mm seatpost? The brakes say aging BMXer like nobody's business, while the minimalist seating says Razor scooter for new-school players—definitely not yours (or your father's) standard BMX bike. 
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
