Thank you, Berlin! For two days of some of the best in extreme sports and pure action. The Street Session 2008 resumé reads like this: twice as many spectators (6.500) as last year and roundabout 15.000 fans witnessed this year’s hattrick session Europe’s most successful extreme sports event series has to offer. The World Cup of Skateboarding event got the best skateboard and BMX riders of the world together to compete on both vert and street and to show their spectacular tricks, diverse and creative runs in the finals. Street-wise it was Brazilian skate pro Rodolfo Ramos and American BMX star Rob Darden who went first. Canadian skateboarder Pierre-Luc Gagnon won vert, so did BMXer Chad Kagy from the US. The prize money was 80.000 Dollar. The riders celebrated their success with great help from Sugarplum Fairy, No Fun At All and the biggest punkband of all times, The Offspring. Three explosive rock concerts and one big happy crowd!

Allan Cooke Presents: Local Exposure Tour 5 "Wicked Awesome New England." Pro BMX rider Allan Cooke gathers up some close friends and BMX Pro riders to hit the road in his personal RV. The goal is to visit five local bike parks in search of some unknown talent. Each stop the pro riders vote for their favorite rider and at the end of the tour an overall champion is chosen to join the crew next year, be showered in a prize package, and get some well deserved exposure that will hopefully push them to the next level. 
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
