Songs: The Cars - Just What I Needed (first song), the other 2 were performed by The Vessels on the day,"- Tempered
The Tempered crew and the Fairfield locals know how to do it! They got busy and built a ghetto setup, hosted a few bands, got seriously loose on the wild obstacles and then, of course, burnt it to the ground. This harks back to FBM ghetto jam days and we love it. Doesn't get much better, and looser than this. Here's what the Tempered dudes had to say: "For the 5th installment, the TMPRD crew, as well as the local Fairfield boys, put in a bunch of work to ready the drain for another day of BMX at it's rawest. With the help of local dudes 'The Vessel's' on tunes, the hordes who showed up and the kindness of the weather gods, the day was a stoke fest for young and old. Thanks to everyone who showed up to support BMX the way it should be, dirty, loose and fun as hell. Thanks to Jerry Vandervalk for masterminding the whole project.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
