"So after confirming with the local authorities that Parallel wasn't being torn down completely, we knew that we needed to do something special to celebrate the place we all call home. We built an exact replica of the stage spot that was gone so we could all relive for an evening the countless amazing sessions we had on that short stretch of concrete and metal. We want to thank Matias Lagoisty, Miki Fleck, John Quintero and Manuel Petrocelli for their help and all the homies who came to enjoy an amazing evening with us. Also, thanks to United, Etnies, bcnkills, DIG and PS Homies for supporting the jam." - Pato Morales / The Cut BMX
"A couple of months ago, our beloved Parallel went through an unexpected change in its landscape, which for a minute made us all think the plaza could be gone."
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
