FATBMX Your Online BMX News Resource Since 1998

Okay, no more excuses for the Helm trail locals and all riders in general. On Friday 2 June 500 cubic meters of dirt will be dropped at the existing trails in Helmond. We don't know too many local councils that are that supportive. All they want to see is that there is enough motivation by the riders to build something nice of the dirt that they are going to drop. To make things easier, they've allowed for a digger to be present for a day and a half. Trails are never really finished, you can keep building forever, but the digger will only be there on Friday and Saturday morning to do the ground work. Man, some people have it good. It's a legal spot to ride, they are bringing in the dirt (for free) and make sure a digger is there. That's pretty awesome. It might be too wet to ride right now but when the work is put in now, the spot will be killer when the sun comes out. Call your friends now and make arrangements. Throw a shovel or two in the car and work those muscles for a couple of days. Show you're down to put some time in. It's on the Johannes Vermeerlaan, next to the new canal off the N279 (exit Centrum). A routeplanner will get you [url=//fatbmx.com/modules/news/article.php?storyid=974]there[/url].

Zack Held and his crew are putting on a trails jam in Red Devil, Union City on 10 June. That's in the NorCal area and for directions we can tell you to click on the flyer or contact Zack at: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

There will be a Biggest Boost contest which should be interesting. The tricksters out there can enter the Best Trick contest and those who have it all can go for the Best Run of the day.

Hopefully Zack listed his Cell number on the flyer which is always handy in case you have some final questions or when you're really lost.

Name of company?
Super G: 43 hardware

Who are your customers?
Super G: Anyone who rides bmx bikes! But the parts are speciality parts and most of the parts sales are to riders who are at least 3 years deep with dirt jumping & street riding.

What products do you make?
Super G: Stem bolts in metric & standard sizes. Crank bolts for Profile cranks, DK chop stix and Odssey 41 thermal. Also we have Pinch bolts for Primo cranks.  Our Brake Lever bolt fits most levers and complete bike kits. We also have some soft goods on our line like Mesh Hats, FlexFit hats, Hooded Sweatshirts & Zip up's, First Aid kits and sticker packs.

If you want to cool off in the middle of the summer maybe you can head over to Vise, Belgium for a lake jumping contest. BMX Plus! will cover the event (just kidding). We only received the flyer of the contest but I believe they're giving away a lot of stuff at the contest. Look at all the sponsors that are lined up for this! Coke (?) is one of the sponsors and combine that with some Red Bull and you can count on an all nighter at the local techno in Vise Ile Robinson. First prize is a Seat car.

We're probably completely wrong here so go to www.waterjump.be for more info or visit the comp on 19 and 20 August and let us know what happened.

Belgium rules.
