Drew Bezanson is the latest addition to the international Shadow Conspiracy team. The Shadow team had been waiting for the right guy to add to the team and after witnessing Drew at the Toronto contest this year, Shadow knew he was the one. "We're beyond stoked on Drew not only for his skills but for the person he is, chill and a blast to hang with. Be on the look out for more on Drew in the upcoming Shadow team video and web edits." - Shadow

Sometimes you have the most fun over little things. It sticks with the people who were there at the time. It doesn't make sense to others but as long as the few people get it, that's enough. When at the bar you come up with the greatest things. T-shirt ideas a plenty. In the morning however the slogans are far gone and will never make it on a T-shirt. This time it's different. At the FISE contest the phrase: "I'm so fucking awesome, I could cry......." was born. And it stuck. It stuck enough for Paul to make T-shirts of it (this time). If you think they're fucking awesome, pick up the phone quick because they're running out soon (limited edition - 10 pcs.). When you go skydiving you meet strange people. Just throwing yourself out of a plane is crazy enough but back on the ground it doesn't stop. Here's some proof for you. It makes for some good Pin Up material though.
In stead of offering a super limited exclusive piece, we thought we'd one up everyone and do a Lavar x DIY collab. On the site you can download a graphic that's ready to use for free by anyone who feels creative. To encourage this creativity we're giving away a bunch of actual free shirts to people who send in the best pictures of them wearing the shirts/garments they made. The graphic is a reference of a time when the DIY spirit was alive and when pads were still cool (and even accepted to wear on the outside of your clothes). The clever reader will be able to read Lavar in the graphic.

A Red Bull contest wouldn't be a Red Bull contest without a party. The riders had received some alcoholic beveridges in their hotel room and everyone got hooked up with free access to the local clubs. 3 nights in a row. With BMX-ers in town it was about to get wild. We've got some pappazi pics for you from the last day. These pics are actually from the beginning of the night right after the contest. We'll get you the terrible ones at a later stage. Enjoy.

Stephen's tracheostomy operation went well and has made him more comfortable. He now has the respirator breathing for him via a tube into his thoat and a feed tube into his stomach rather than everything going into his mouth. This has meant he is able to communicate better and we can understand most of what he is trying to say. Although no sounds comes out when he speaks, we are optimistic that with time and speach therapy, his voice should slowly but hopefully improve. The doctors and surgeons have said that being so fit and healthy has been a major help to him in both sustaining the shock of the injury and in his ability to recover.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
