With Zwanzig Zoll BMX magazine gone on the German newsstands, Freedom BMX was the sole player for a while. But any day the new BMX Rider magazines will pop up. That's competition for Freedom BMX but some competition is never bad. It keeps you on your toes and motivates you to make the best magazine time after time. Here's what's in the new issue:
-Corey Martinez Interview
-BMX Worlds 2012
-Trailsjam Bremen
-Streetjam Münster
-Travel trophy – Philipp Baum
-My Block: Mannheim
-Hello my name is Keno
-Hello my name is Serg Pograshevsky
-What Mat Hoffman already knew – Lacing up

The people at etnies know how it works. They not only sent a pair of the new Ruben Alcantara x Terrible One collaboration shoes, but they sent some Spanish alcoholic beveridge along with it. That always goes over well here at FATBMX. Ruben picked the existing RVM model shoe and got to work with it. He made it entirely out of synthetic material, chose the colours black, grey and sand and added some personal touches with it in the label on the tongue and the insole. It's easy, you do!

It's been a while since Lionel Cardoso, Alexis Desolneux and their crew put out the first issue of SOUL BMX Experience. If I remember right, the first issue had a horizontal format. It was cool to be different, but the magazines didn't stand up easily at the newsstands with the glossy paper it was printed on. Ever since then, it was back to the normal magazine format. Lately they've been coming with a DVD so the mag is wrapped in some plastic. The DVD plus the mag will set you back € 9,50 but you'll have the magazine articles in motion as well. Plus the Deluxe DVD: Part Deux added as a bonus.

But what's for dinner this time? Here's a list of the main dishes (all in French):
-etnies Club Med tour
-Nantes scene

It's not a hockey puck, it's not shoe cream, it's HB wax! With all the street riding going on and multiple sticky ledges and rails out there, this might just be what you need to keep your front teeth in your mouth. Wax it, and make it slide. What we used to do was get more speed, lean back a little and hope for the best. Now you can play it a bit safer with Hoffman Bikes wax. Comes with an easy tin can and HB sticker. We got two cans and will put them in the van for whoever needs it on their next grind. We'll wax that shit, so you can get your grind on.
