FATBMX Your Online BMX News Resource Since 1998

BMX Calendars have been around for ages. In 1983 the European BMX Championships calendar was one of the first ones. We sold many of them to keep the BMX club afloat after a successful 1982 European Championship event that wasn't as successful financially. Andy Patterson was on the cover, I'll never forget. FAT Tony has been putting out a flatland calendar the last few years and while in Russia last week I got my hands on their 2013 PRO BMX MAGAZINE version. It's got awesome shots sponsored by several companies to pay for the printing of it.

Want something fresh for the 2013 season? Seen this new DC set? More info below, kicking off with the info on the pants:
The most versatile pant in DC's entire lineup. Whether it be motocross, or BMX racing, the super-durable and dynamic GP Pant works with the human body to emphasize comfort while maximizing a full range of motion. All in one, and everything you need when the time comes to twist the throttle or push the pedals.
