BMX TEA PARTY 2019 by Kevin Schnider
"Murphy's Law", Commonly, a situation where, if anything can go wrong, it will. A BMX roadtrip is almost like a booby trap. Take 6 guys across 2000kms, sleeping in tents and flinging themselves down staircases and handrails on a daily basis, there is bound to be setback.. or three. This trip embodied Murphy's Law. From broken bikes to equally broken bodies, to finding our campsite nearly submerged after a hail storm. We soldier on, and we make the best of an otherwise incredible landscape through the middle of South Africa, and we do what we set out to do, ride new spots and make memories with our friends.

The Vans BMX team comprising of Buddy Chellan, Malcolm Peters, Brandon Blight along with BMX filmer, Kevin Schnider, recently travelled the country, starting off in Durban, then heading to JHB for BMX Day and finally back to Cape Town. There were ditches in Durban and sick spots in Johannesburg, ending with Malcolm Peters and a banger at the famous wallride in JHB. Thanks to everyone involved.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
