On Saturday April, the 4th 2009 time has come. The AbenteuerHallenKALK open their doors and invite all BMX-Enthusiasts for a big jam-session at the bike & skatepark in Cologne. The Rookie Jam which was coined in 2006 is taking place for the fourth time and offers young talents with no contest-experience the chance to prove their skills in a contest. Just like last year, we invite again all oldschool-guys with our E.T.-Class up to the motto back to the roots. So there is a reason for the grandaddys to pick up their rides and to show the youngsters what was meant by style in the 80ties.
The cool atmosphere and the streetarea about 1000 square-meters of the AbenteuerHallen offer perfect conditions for a chilled and still highclassed contest. So pick up your bikes and let the good times roll.

Please note the new attendant conditions: For a smooth development on the contest, it is not possible to register locally! Riders can sign up on rookie-jam.de with an online-form immediately.
