A Flatland competition for ladies is born. This side of BMX needs some development and involvement making this competition an important one. Read the info about FlatQueens below and join in. PASSION IS AN ENDLESS FUEL.
Purpose: Our goal is to help develop the female BMX Flatland scene, push forward the progression of our community, and to shine some light on female riders with a BMX Flatland competition - "FlatQueens"! The ladies and girls will be given the opportunity to compete in one of 3 different classes (Pro, Amateur and New Generation). The aim is to showcase the passion we have for this sport and how much we embrace each other. In times like these, it's even more important to stick together and enjoy what we love. Let's be the change and do this together - it's time!
Who are we? Two motivated ladies riding and embracing BMX Flatland with over 30 years of experience combined! Paula Hesser is from Canada and Irina Sadovnik is from Austria.
-Paula, mother of two small girls, is the founder of “Rad Girls BMX.” In 2012 Rad Girls was the first edit to showcase all female flatland riders with the purpose to provide a sense of community, since it is literally spread across the globe. Rad Girls BMX is still going strong today, with 10 edits and counting. Paula is hoping to compete in her first UCI event in the Women’s Pro Class this September in Montpellier!
-Irina is a 2 time UCI World Champion (2019, 2021) and the first UEC European Champion! While riding

I always a have big smile on my face when I look back at the incredible time I spent in Japan. Thanks Yamaha Motor Austria for making that dream possible.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
