In the end it was Kole Voelker (son of the legendary Dave Voelker) who took home first place and the free trip to Austin, TX.. Congrats dude!
This was without a doubt the most intense AM contest to go down so far this year, and maybe even the most intense of last year too!! CA has some talented AM's and they all took to the Lake County Skatepark in San Diego to battle it out for a chance to a win an all-expenses-paid trip to Austin, TX for the next round of the "Born and Raised" jams. Tons of raw talent from the likes of Johnny Atencio, Ryder Poye, Jarren Barboza, Kole Voelker, Dylan Stark, Michael Harkous, Josh Clemens, Adam Acardi, and many many more.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
