We were asked by Feedback Sports to try some of their products, a Work stand and a Display stand. Since we have a BMX bike shop it was the best environment to test. Feedback Sports Pro Elite Stand:
This very nice looking Work stand in anodised red aluminium is very light and a welcome tool in any bikeshop. It unfolds very easy and set up will take only a minute, so far so good...the problem we had with this stand is the big tripod in the bottom, good for stability but we were tripping over the legs whole day. It can't be set up to solve that problem cause there always will be one leg in the wrong way, we have different models with a steel ground plate and one with two legs that doesn't have this problem so its certainly a design problem.
You have probably already heard about the new BSD Any Which Way video. It's mainly a street video which is filmed during a series of road trips last year. It was filmed throughout California, Arizona, France, Barcelona with a park session at Scotland's Unit 23. The video is Edited by Dave Sowerby and features riders as Kriss Kyle, Tony Malouf, David Grant, Alex Donnachie, Dan Paley, Jason Teet, Reed Stark, Antony Lille, Chris Brown Naliz and more. The world premiere of Any Which Way took place at the Simple Session film festival in Talinn, Estonia. It's a 33:55 minute DVD with bonus clips which I can say isn't disappointing at all.
2 days of racing, 42/106 degree temperatures and about 14L/3.5G of fluid over the weekend. I knew leading into this event that I was in for a tough weekend. Not only was the heat a shock to the body but getting back on a flat ABA start hill felt as though I had bricks strapped to my bike. I drove from my base in California to Arizona on Friday to step straight out of the air-conditioned car for practice, my jaw dropped, I was in the middle of a desert…cactus and all! Coming from from freezing weather conditions in Norway last weekend I did enjoy how easy it felt to warm up.

After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
