It has been the week of the interviews here on FATBMX and we're not done yet. We're stoked to bring you some insight on the UK ramp scene from the eighties. Those riders made things happen on old trashy bikes and shady quarterpipes. They had fun and they got good. So good that some of them tried their luck in the USA and stayed there to become a pro rider for a few years. Lots of riders are in the same boat now. To really make a living out of BMX freestyle is not easy. Not here in Europe, not in Australia, not in Africa and not in Russia. If you really want to make it as a rider you'll have to make finals at the Dew Tour, or better, podiums. That will possibly land you some sponsors that flow you a monthly check of a few hundred dollars so you can help pay the rent and make it to the "training center" a few days per week. But it's not even 1% of all riders who can reach that goal. Others will have to do shows, join the circus or get a regular job to make ends meet if they really want to live like a BMX pro. If you're in this game to make money, you've chosen the wrong "sport". 
If you’re going to shell out 400 bucks for a new bike, it better be good, right? The Blend One is Mirraco's most affordable 20-inch in their Blend series, and it’s loaded with everything you need for fun on ramps and street. -Frame 20” T/T full chromoly with integrated head tube, MID bottom bracket and 5mm thick dropouts

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