It's always nice to pay the Meker locals a visit in Middelburg. Philip is always looking forward to it because he likes to ride with his hero Vladdie de Koning and he gets to stay up late because the hall opens when it is normally bed time for him. We arrived just after 7pm yesterday and practically had the place to ourselves for the first 30 minutes. One other rider joined us during that first thirty minutes but later Vladdie, Niels, Colin and a few others joined in. The place had received some welcome changes since last time we were there.

A quarter in one corner, roll-in in the other and a weird flatbank to steep section in the other corner had all changed. The ledges in the middle had changed as well. But basically we did laps all night which was good fun. The locals showed how the place should be ridden. We snapped some shots, took off the stinky pads and packed the van to go back to the holiday house at 9pm. It was a quick little session and good to catch up with the NBR crew.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
