Things have shaken up over at the RIDE UK staff, but issue 178 is almost here and it's their annual Ride To Glory issue. Team Premium came out the winner so it's a big issue for them. You can read about the other teams in the contest too. Did Vans lose their log book once again? What happened to the FOX crew? Was team Stay Strong actually staying strong? And where did travel team number one United end up? Each team got a list of things that needed to be taken care of to score points. You can see how team Premium won it. The mag comes with a DVD too so if you want to watch the issue, just put that DVD in the player and hit the triangle. That's Chris Smith on the cover spinning his bars in a fullpipe in Manchester, England. Issue is out on Friday July 12th.

I remember the feeling I got of getting the FAT-'zines back from the printer's. It felt awesome as you know exactly how much time it had cost to put one together. The Figure crew must feel the same way. The latest summer issue has 100 pages and comes in 'zine size but is printed in full colour and glued together. It's very pro for a 'zine. The regular articles come back once again and Sergio Layos gets the interview. The "Illustrer" article goes to Ruben Alcantara and David Quesada and the "Filmer" part goes to "Cool Story Bros'"

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