Not sure where you work on a daily basis but chances are you do not have a miniramp to ride during the lunch break or after work. At Vans' headquarters in Cypress, California they do have a ramp for those sessions. It's not open to the public but if you are good friends with one of the people there and do not have a problem signing a waiver, you have a chance to get in. Choq is one of the few bike riders there and when Andy and I were in town he invited us for a session next to the promotion cage. 2 skateboarders (employees) had already plugged in the ipod so tunes were already going. The ramp is long but only bowled in on one side which is a bummer. It would have been so much better to have a corner near the extension and 6 feet high section but it was possible to make it work this way too. There's a 4 feet section and a 5 feet section too so something for everyone. Choq's got the place down but he has the possibility to ride that place every day of the week. Enjoy the pics. BdJ
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
