The guys at city dirt set up some lights and had a rad session at night time.
Josh Delarosa is a one of a kind and if you've been paying attention to him on instagram you'll see that he's consistently killing it on various massive setups. Looks like all his shredding has paid off as he's just been added to the already heavily stacked Eclat team. Enjoy a short but very sweet welcome edit. Congrats Josh!

"I'll never forget we were out at a bar for Saint Pattys Day, and Steven goes, 'Dude it would be sick to ride to a song with bagpipes. But how do we find a good song?' We didn't know shit about that type of music. We got the idea from the song playing at the time, so I just Shazam'd it and that ended up being it!. Steven is an extremely calculated bull. When he finds that setup, the right one, he attacks. But sometimes that doesn't go as planned haha, enjoy this section from the rider that definitely crashed the most in this video." - Mikey Almodovar
Dave Young was a top name pro in the mid 80s. Coming from Gateshead way up north the odds were stacked against the riders from up there, but thanks to the talent of himself, Pepi Winder and Steve Laidlaw, they shone a light on their scene and left a lasting impression as guys to look for at the contests and in the magazines. We get into the early days of the BMX scene in the north, working at a BMX shop at that time.
While in Switzerland for the MXGP we also managed to find a Velosolutions pump track in the town the Grand Prix was held. This one was actually huge and had two sections; one for beginners and a longer one for more advanced users. The fence around it defined the spot and keeps lunatics in cars or other large vehicles out of the pump track. Sounds strange, but we've seen photos.....
Once again the Velosolutions pump track was well designed with no flat sections or misplaced turns. The triple turn was cool as well as you were leaning into that turn three times and generated speed at the same time to jump the three doubles right after it.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
