FATBMX Your Online BMX News Resource Since 1998

We've started a WIN ON FATBMX block on the site that you can find in the right column. The first competition was the Eastpak Antidote comp and the next competition is the FLAT tv contest. No, you can't win a FLAT screen TV (hey, we should ask LG about that one) but you can win one of the three dope FLAT TV DVD's provided by Renato.

The FATBMX-Eastpak Antidote Compeition is won by Peer 

When Dave Mirra signed on Nigel Sylvester to the Mirraco squad a new frame had to be designed. One that is ready for the streets but has no brake lugs. Nigel received his Chocolate frame, put the bike together with loads of Animal parts and is currently putting it through the test in the streets of New York. Here's a list of all the parts that Nigel runs.

Frame - Mirraco Chocolate (Nigel signature - prototype)

There's no denying that Mat Hoffman is a legend in BMX terms. Maybe even in the real world when people see what he has accomplished on a BMX bike. In the same league as Mat but then on the skateboard side of things, Tony Hawk is an icon as well. I remember back in 1996 I was in a taxi with both of them over in Zurich, Switzerland. The Freestyle.ch event was just over and we were on our way to the night festivities. I had a reality check right there; look at me, in a taxi with these two in Switzerland, what's going on??!!

Earlier this summer both of them were hired by the Nass/LG people to do demos over in England. That's 10 years later and they were still doing their thing in front of a big crowd that absolutely went nuts whenever they rolled in. They had their doubles down after all these years of doing big events together all over the planet. Two legends on the ramp at the same time, it doesn't get much better than that.

Ben Green and Dan Boiski have helped Sam Bryant get a sponsorship through 4Down distribution over in the UK. Ben and Dan filmed and put together a winning clip with the result that the rider (Sam) will receive a monthly package from 4Down for a year. With 4Down selling brands like Lavar, Coalition, United, Shitluck, Animal, FBM and Union, you know that Sam's stoked. Sam will also get a part in the upcoming 4Down dvd.
