If you've been looking for more videos and have not watched the Pessac 2007 Urban Vibrations clips, we can tell you that you should. There's a good park video (Doyle, Sexton, Heaton, Kalkoff, Coulomb, Vos) as well as a dirt video (Guimez, Bimar, Doyle) from the contest that took place in Pessac, France. We posted a few reports on the contest on FATBMX so if you fancy looking back at those as well (and the results), hit the following links. Together with the videos it's a wrap.

Old school Kuwahara fans are going to love this one. Kuwahara has a long BMX history. ET (Elliot) rode one and so did Clint Miller, Gary Ellis, Dave Cullinan and the magician Randy Tischman.

The people at Strictly BMX in Australia are selling a limited edition release of the Kuwahara KZ-1 frameset. Total number made: 250. Available in gloss black and chrome for $399 (that's Australian dollars).

Where has the time gone? it is now 6 months since the dreadfull accident, we were all warned by experts to expect a non stop rollercoaster and boy oh boy have we all had one--big time. Stephen had to spend an extra week in Craig Hospital, Denver due to his new tailor made electric wheelchair arriving late.

As dissapointing as that was, when I arrived back in Denver I could see straightaway that Stephen was in no fit state to leave the Hospital anyway,he was on another I.V. drip feeding him more antibiotics to defeat another pneumonia attack and looked as weak as I had seen him for a long long time.

We'd like to wish everyone a happy new year. Time flies when you're having fun and 2007 went by quick. Let's hope for good times in 2008 but with the things that are in the planning we're pretty sure it will all work out again. Everyone, stay healthy, stay safe but don't forget to get wild at times.
Best wishes for 2008 from the FATBMX crew. See you soon.

Art is on the streets. Instead of making an illegal piece in the middle of the night, graffiti artists can use the Berenkuil in Eindhoven as their outlet to show what they've got. There's some good stuff and some bad stuff but everyone has to start somewhere. Enjoy the next 15 pieces.
