FATBMX Your Online BMX News Resource Since 1998

The Shadow Conspiracy crew is doing things their own way. They announced today the new rider to their A-team. He is now the team mate on Shadow along with Whitton, Sher, Jennings, Kimbrough and Simon. Heard of Karl Poynter before? It's him. Click the following link for a little video of Karl. He can manual okay. More on Karl in the 2nd Shadow video and in Conspiracy ads soon.

Odessa Footwear's first BMX DVD follows team members Josh Bedford, James Newrick, Cleggy, Mark Tanner, Tom Blyth, James Cox, Dean Hearne, Kelly Bolton and Bomber round Barcelona, Spain for 9 days. A good question is; how do they do this? If you look at the slideshow, it's nothing but drinking the night away and having fun. How can you get up in the morning and produce for a video? Only true pros can do that. We're not sure how much of a boozer Kelly Bolton is but he sure delivered the tricks that the rest of the gang did not want to do or simply could not do. Kelly is a maniac and rides his bike really well. Barcelona is a good city for street riding.  Most spots have been covered but not with a bunch like this.

Credence frames are available now in clear coat and army green. Manufactured by the people of FBM and distributed by Last Call Distribution. The frame details are as follows:
Top Tube: 20.5”, 20.75”. 21”
Headtube: 74.5 (intergrated)
Seattube: 71

The newest frame available from the DK camp is the R/T Frame. Designed for trail riders and racers. The chromoly frame is available in 5 sizes. Spring is right around the corner so grab a shovel, build up an R/T frame and get to it.

We've got so many magazines and videos laying around that we're trying to make it through the stack.  If you sent something in, be patient, it  will probalby take a while but we can only try. The April issue of BMX Plus! arrived last week and it's got a super light bike on the cover. At 18 lbs it's one of the lightest and once you hop on this machine it will be a piece of  cake to pull that triple whip to fufanu.  It's all in the bike you know.  Wade Lajler gets the contents page with a rad double footplant tailwhip in an igloo.  Gotta check that one. All kinds of news, reviews, b-day calendars and the usual BMX Plus! items can be found in the Inside Scoop section. The 18 lbs bike gets reviewed, there's a race how-to on "the first jump" (how to take it fast) before the Premium complete bike gets tested. BMX PLUS! isn't afraid to post flatland articles or do reports on flatland contests/jams. Love, Passion, Flat is a 5 page report on the Long Beach jam. Amanda Geving's bike gets inspected and some girls are showing off some Zip-up threads. Which one do you like best? 

I am doing a trip from Canada to Chile by van.. I have made it to Guatemala, have been in Cuba for a month, the bmx scene is amazing in Cuba. I should be taking all year to do this trip. I am helping to organize events all throughout Latin America, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru for sure so far. I would like to make it back to Europe once at least this year, we'll see.
