It isn’t just a fight for fame, glory and massive prizes, furthermore it’s a battle for a good aim at the Rookie Jam 2010 which will take place at the 27th of March at the AbenteuerHallen KALK in Cologne. Contrary to most people BMX-riders and skateboarders live with a special affection for obstacles. Regarding to that it is so much the better that every rider who will join the Rookie Jam 2010 makes a contribution to a new obstacle for the bike & skatepark.

There aren’t too many BMXers out there that have been around longer than SE Racing. But that’s just one of the many things that 42yr old Expert racer, Todd Parry can claim. And he can now add “SE Factory Squad Racer” to his long list of accomplishments that include:
-Top 5 Nationally ranked Vet Pro racer 6 yrs in a row.
-ABA Vet Pro World Champ
-Oldest rider (at 40yrs old!) to ever win the A-Pro class @ a Pro Series National
-100+ career Pro Podium finishes
Keep an eye out for Todd racking up a ton more podium finishes in the 41+ Expert class this year. But this time he’ll be doing it in SE Racing Colors. Welcome to the team Todd!

Mark Vos left Amsterdam by train together with Frank van Klinken. They are having a blast cruising around and filming for a new videopart. They made it to Barcelona and hooked up with some riders from Sweden and started scouting the streets to find new spots and existing spots from several BMX and skate videos. But then it started snowing, in Barcelona! Damn. One day a year they might get snow and Mark and Frank were there. Good timing. Expect the edit to pop up here on FATBMX whenever it's done. Enjoy the ride guys.

Those crazy dudes are at it again. Another edition of the Mini FAT-JAM is on the schedule for 3 April 2010. It's a bit of a special edition as Paul's Boutique will celebrate its 15 years in business that weekend so if you've ever wanted to party with the Coach, and ride the Sugar Hills on the same day, 3 April is the day to circle in your agenda. The day will kick off at the local trails around 13h00. As always we're expecting sunny weather and it will be the first time to ride outdoors in a T-shirt. Winter has been too rough, it's time for some good outdoor riding. Of course we've gathered some prizes from our generous sponsors like Vans and Snafu, and Monster will be handing out some drinks to the riders to keep them energized. You've never had a photo on fatbmx.com? We heard they'll be there. What was the date again? 3 April 2010.

Oh yeah, the evening program will get loose at 20h00 in Oja, Schoolstraat, Aarle-Rixtel. Let's make it one to remember and living
