The Smile Seat Clamp System (SSC System) was designed and developed to be simple, light and functional.

100% is proud to introduce a revolutionary development in performance eyewear - The Speedcraft AIR. Speedcraft AIR incorporates a built-in nasal dilator, allowing riders to control nasal dilation from minimum to maximum. Race-tested by three-time UCI Road World Champion Peter Sagan, this system is engineered to outpace the peloton. It is the only eyewear in the world to feature the patented AC Systems breathing technology, and comes with metal nose stickers to secure — and properly operate — the system. The nasal dilator is adjusted by rotating a small dial in the center of the lens, and the magnetic arms can be opened or closed to control nasal dilation throughout a ride.

When we combine the Mini-FATJAMs and the annual FATJAM being held in the summer, the upcoming Mini-FATJAM will be the 58th edition. That's 58 FAT JAMs that happened in Aarle-Rixtel, an awful lot. Reason of the success? Maybe it's the free riding. Maybe it's the support from caring companies making this an event where everyone wins. The fact that everyone can ride together at a dirt spot that has something for everyone is a big plus. Also visiting Paul's Boutique BMX shop in town could be a reason, or the stories that circulate from the OJA parties. You can bring your own food and drinks. There's no security. It's free to spectate, there's music, and knowing that riders like Mat Hoffman, Jay Miron, Todd Lyons, Chase Gouin, Ian Morris, etc. have jumped at the Sugar Hills should make you want to visit the spot on the Valkendijk in Aarle-Rixtel too, at least once in your life.
Anyway, we're back at it on Saturday 14 April, 2018 to unofficially open the outdoor BMX season. Ryan Nyquist came over early March to test the Killer Jump and liked it a lot showing 720's, Nyquist style 360 tobogans, 360 suicide no-handers, tailwhips(!), rocket no-handers, no-footed cancan nothings, etc. He proved everything is possible on that Killer ramp so it's up to you to come over on the 14th and do the same. It's time to send it!
Program Mini FATJAM 2018:
11:00-13:00hr Paul's Boutique shopping, Dorpsstraat 66a, Aarle-Rixtel.
