FATBMX Your Online BMX News Resource Since 1998

We know you like movies. Here's one that Bert-Jan Blok made of the Roffastreets Bunker jam in Rotterdam, NL.
Roffastreets!

Lloyd Ramsay sent over some great pics and a report about Nasty's Stephen Murray jam that took place last weekend but there was more happening on the sidelines. FATBMX's papparazzi man Michael de Wit was present as well and he did get to witness the wet-T-shirt contest in the freezing cold. Here are a few pics of the Vans CEO flipping burgers, Whitesnake working on the fire, Fuzzy on his killer Redline and just people having a good time. Again, it's awesome to see that the BMX family is helping out Stephen Murray and showing their support through and through. 

We brought you Matt's year yesterday, now we're giving you a look on the inside. Basically the riding place is the garage. It's super tight but again Mike Aitken didn't make it look that small. While it was raining outside some money was chipped in and Matt made a run to the grocery store. Adam Banton had already cranked up the BBQ and in no-time dinner was ready for ten people. Hospitality at its best over at Beringer's place. Before we wanted to, we had to get back to Salt Lake City. 

While in Utah we got a ride from Keith Mulligan over to Matt Beringer's house. We had seen his place from several videos and magazine coverage but getting to a place like that and stepping in the door is a completely different game. The place is so amazing that we're splitting up the "Scene report"in two. Today we bring you Matt's backyard with the inside of his house to follow. The entire backyard is a mix of wooden ramps and dirt. Then there's also this weird looking snake going through his yard which used to be a

The Red Bull Backyard Digger is touring around The Netherlands at the moment. They're showing that with a bit of effort you can create a good riding spot. Basically what you need is a piece of land, some truckloads of good dirt and manpower. Having a digger present to lay-out the first jumps and starting hill is a great help of course but it doesn't necessarily have to be the Kramer equipment that Red Bull bought to get the job done. We cruised over to Leende where a spot was created at the Sport park on a grass field.

The final round of the 2007 UCI BMX Supercross World Cup is kicking off this weekend 11-12 October at Roc d’Azur Fréjus (France). Being held at Roc d’Azur, the biggest mountain bike festival in Europe, over 10’000 spectators is expected to watch the action on the demanding BMX Supercross track. The Roc d’Azur track has been modified from last year, promising great racing on a very demanding track. Many of the track features are similar to the Olympic track, giving riders valuable input for next year. 

As we all know Stephen Murray is hurt and health care in America is expensive to say the least. To help him out Cory Nastazio held a jam at his trails in Tehachapi, CA with all proceeds going to Stephen. I was told that the cost of Stephens wheelchair is in the region of $23 000 so every dollar counts. Nastys trails are big. Real big. I saw James Foster take it hard twice but he kept on going and gave the crowd a wind shield wiper. Parslow, White, Lavin, Fuzzy were all there making for a great night of dirt.

The Air Zoom Oncore BMX Street Edition is packed with BMXcellence, inspired by our team trip to New York City with Dennis Enarson, Garrett Reynolds, Mike Spinner, and Nigel Sylvester. The crew kept it thorough in the boroughs throwing barspins and tailwhips, riding rails and bustin’ flips. Whether they were killin’ it in the park or finding new lines on the street, the BMX posse found NYC to be second to none. The Air Zoom Oncore BMX Street is built to withstand, but supplies won’t, so don’t sleep on the limited quantity kick.
