FATBMX Your Online BMX News Resource Since 1998

We were asked by Feedback Sports to try some of their products, a Work stand and a Display stand. Since we have a BMX bike shop it was the best environment to test. 

Feedback Sports Pro Elite Stand:

This very nice looking Work stand in anodised red aluminium is very light and a welcome tool in any bikeshop. It unfolds very easy and set up will take only a minute, so far so good...the problem we had with this stand is the big tripod in the bottom, good for stability but we were tripping over the legs whole day. It can't be set up to solve that problem cause there always will be one leg in the wrong way, we have different models with a steel ground plate and one with two legs that doesn't have this problem so its certainly a design problem. 

You have probably already heard about the new BSD Any Which Way video. It's mainly a street video which is filmed during a series of road trips last year. It was filmed throughout California, Arizona, France, Barcelona with a park session at Scotland's Unit 23. The video is Edited by Dave Sowerby and features riders as Kriss Kyle, Tony Malouf, David Grant, Alex Donnachie, Dan Paley, Jason Teet, Reed Stark, Antony Lille, Chris Brown Naliz and more.

The world premiere of Any Which Way took place at the Simple Session film festival in Talinn, Estonia. It's a 33:55 minute DVD with bonus clips which I can say isn't disappointing at all.

Jake Seeley has been riding and testing out a new frame for Sunday called the Broadcaster. This bike works so well for him that they are giving him a signature colorway and maybe something else. More information coming later, but for now check out all the detail shots of his bike.

The first production run of the Anvil kicks were actually created using iron and an anvil. Problem was, DC could only create 3 pairs a day, and they were really heavy. Introducing, the new and improved Anvil kicks. This time lighter. 5 FATBMX visitors won a pair of DC kicks last week and they've shown up already at their homes. Real Anvil fans can make their wardrobe complete with the Anvil short of long sleeve button up shirts. Talking about looking good here.

It's time for the sun to come out. Looking at this cover I want summer to be here. Or you can go look for it. The trip to California has been booked but the weather reports haven't been that promising. Harry Main went to Spain and got himself some sunshine and the cover of issue #163 doing this flair drop-in or however you want to call it. Doing it on concrete makes it even gnarlier. Respect. What else can you expect in the new Factory Media production?

As if this little mag made it to 43 issues. So to celebrate this momentous and hella significant milestone, we pulled what we think is our best issue yet together. The split cover features Mikey McMah and Josh Kathigitis shredding one of the many pools being cleaned up in drought stricken South Australia. Read more about that in the feature spread from Dave Rubinich. We sit down with one of the most positive riders in the history of BMX; Kyle Baldock, hit up the Farm Jam, Cams’ Jam and Red Bull’s Roast It dirt festivals and take a little look inside Fit Bike Co’s Australian connection.

Plus 2020BMX magazine goes deep with Joe Rich on the creative process and take a look at Mitch Morison’s summer through his lens. And of course we’ve got a stack of gear to giveaway from Division, LKI, United, Armourdillo and tickets to Newtons Nation.
