It's time for the sun to come out. Looking at this cover I want summer to be here. Or you can go look for it. The trip to California has been booked but the weather reports haven't been that promising. Harry Main went to Spain and got himself some sunshine and the cover of issue #163 doing this flair drop-in or however you want to call it. Doing it on concrete makes it even gnarlier. Respect. What else can you expect in the new Factory Media production?

A few weeks ago we got some new dirt and a digger for half a day at the Helm Trails in Helmond. Time to fix things up and build some new stuff. Dirt is always welcome and a digger makes it lots easier to get the dirt in the right place. Riding trails means working on them as well but the satisfaction in the end is worth it. Trails builders worldwide can relate. It's the same everywhere. You've got those lazy asses who wait until everything is done and then show up. They should be ashamed of themselves. Credits go to those who dig and put their time in.
Bikes, Beers, Bands, BSD and Bitches! Hell yeah! It's time for the annual Mini-FATJAM. This year we'll start off at the Sugar Hills trails with a mellow dirt session followed by a greasy snackbar stop and a night at OJA with 4 bands. Also, we're having the Dutch BSD Any Wich Way premiere at OJA so plenty of action all day long.
The lines have been shaped at the Sugar Hills so we can officially kick off the outdoor season with a session in Aarle-Rixtel. Nothing more, nothing less. Riding with friends, learning new tricks on the killer, or trying to make it through the lines riding switch. Got what it takes? you show us!
Follow everything on www.twitter.com/fatjam if you can't make it in person. Pay a visit to Paul's Boutique while you're in town. Drink a free Monster Energy drink when the truck shows up. Find a photo of yourself on FATBMX.com afterwards. You might even go home with a Vans goodie. Enough reasons to make the trip to Ale Blie. Dirt!!!
