Some of you may have been wondering what the story is with EZRA.EZRA's mission is to focus on high-quality, aesthetically pleasing parts that truly represent what BMX is about. I'm very proud to be part of the EZRA brand. I'm also pleased to announce that testing has been underway on an all new design for my signature free-coaster hub. So far, it's been on point with its performance and longevity. This new design is something I'm really confident in and 
Second day at the Pool and the mighty step it up allowing some of the local invited kids to watch and see the light. Some riders were still testing the water while a few seem to be making the place their own. Chase Hawk was seemingly leisurely whilst taking lazy, stylish laps like it was his home town bowl and Drew Bezanson took a sick springboad line testing the tension with a crafty handplant out of the deep end. Pat Casey could be seen feeling out corigans corner looking like he's got lot a whole lot more to give in the main event 
We made it to England for the Nike Pool party. Some of the regular local swimmers were surprised to see ramps instead of the water at the Dagenham swimming pool. Things are looking awesome with the riders still finding new lines all over the place. The place is nothing short of amazing and it's a shame it has to go down in 4 weeks but people do get to ride it when the comp is over so that's cool. The heavy hitters are padding up already for practice session number two. We'll show you some pics of the place. More to come. 
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
