Daily newspapers are still alive. The tradition of a newspaper dropping on the doormat every morning hasn't disappeared now that the news spreads quicker via the internet. A BMX newspaper existed in the early '80s. It came out every week. That shows how big BMX was in the early stages when everyone and their cousin had a BMX bike. The British pubication called BMX Weekly (we still have a coupe) turned into BMX Bi-Weekly soon after and then disappeared altogether when BMX magazines came to life. Seeing a BMX newspaper 43 years later came as a bit of a surprise. It's not going to be daily, weekly, or bi-weekly, it's more of a 1-off published by the folks at DIG and focused on the Glasgow area. It came out during the week of the UCI Cycling World Championships in August but I only got to read the entire paper on the way back from Chile a few weeks ago.
How cool would it be to have a BMX Newspaper dropping on the floor every morning. One that has good interviews, the results of the BMX races and competitions, an activity list, how-to's, new product reviews, a calendar, industry section, kids corner, and spot checks. It would take a lot of effort to get it done. That's why current newspaper subscriptions aren't free either. To fill the paper on a daily basis, just imagine how much work goes into that.
When the GT Fueler first hit the market at the end of the '90s it was a frame built strong for the upcoming BMX Dirt scene. When racers were hitting the local trails, the bikes did not hold up. The Fueler, made inhouse at GT in California, did. Fast forward to 2023 and Tom Justice is on a GT Fueler and digs it. See what he has to say about the bike and check his parts list. His unique riding style starts with a good bike.

We got our hands on a Teufel Boomster boombox a few weeks ago. We've been putting it through the test and here's the report. Basically we've been taking the speaker to the trails on digging sessions and have used it while working on the site indoors. We'll mention the positives first before we mention the negatives. The Boomster has a killer sound. Even when you turn it up, the sound doesn't distort. Indoors it goes louder than you want, so whenever you need a speaker for an indoor party or at a BBQ, the Boomster has you covered. The Bass can be monitored. It's not the deepest bass we've ever heard, but the sound is great and that's what you need basically from a portable speaker. The Boomster isn't a speaker alone. You can charge your phone or other devices that need power and have a USB to plug in.
The Boomster also has a built in radio (and antenna) for those listening to Radio stations. We could save our favourite stations within seconds of taking it out of the box which indicates the use of the Boomster

A coloring book, how did that come about?
Anthony Bucardo: I’ve always loved cartoons, coloring and when I started doing the cartoon stickers of myself I wanted to figure a way to make it into a coloring book, over time was just busy with the races back to back and figuring things out, Anthony and I actually got in touch and he just finished a run of his coloring book series he just started, and we came up with an game plan and made it happen!
Do you have any idea why they had you in mind as the main character?
Anthony Bucardo: I think just me being connected with the kids, and just being who I am.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
