FATBMX Your Online BMX News Resource Since 1998

Here is one reason why you have not seen an update from the riding at the Mini-FAT-JAM yet. It was another great night at the infamous OJA where beer is cheap and anything is possible. After the Electronical premier on the big screen two bands made it on stage; local band 30 Seconds Remaining and El Conjo who rocked the house. On top of that there was some stage diving going on, the Dire Straits were live on stage in the form of Joeri, some drum solos happened, street sessions were had and the rusty beerbong

On March 15th, 2008, over 30 MTB and BMX teams showed up to the Local Support Dirt Challenge sponsored by T-Mobile to battle it out for the last time in the Abflughalle in Grevenbroich. Great riding and good atmosphere both in the international starter’s field (Germany, Sweden, Poland, Luxembourg, France, Netherlands) and with the crowd caused a thrill of anticipation among everyone. Never underestimate the home advantage! – The two locals Mike “style is all” Buse and Alex “Aze Ace” Etzold from the Team Dirty Sanchez proved this by beating the Munich team, Volker Wildner and Moritz Kauper from the Ladybirds. There was an awesome performance by Mike Buse including lines with 360’s, X-Up 360’s, and bar-spin 360’s. This left a lasting impression on the crowd and for his team an assured win of 4000 € for its local spot.

…..I don’t even know where to begin. This was the best bike contest ever at the Factory Skatepark and maybe the best contest here, period. 56 Riders came out and destroyed the place, competing in Park, Vert, Bunnyhop, and High Air on the 11 foot quarter. Talem Cowart started the day off right by bunnyhopping an astounding 46 inches, earning himself an unofficial world record by ½ an inch (for an official record, the equipment would have had to be exactly calibrated). The High Air event was a huge crowd favorite since they were allowed onto the course to watch from the base of the huge quarterpipe. Of the eight competitors, North Carolina’s Alex Johann and semi-local Kyle Kelsey were the two top dogs; Alex topped out at 9 feet but exploded upon re-entry. Kyle made it to eight and a half and rode away clean, pulling the win.

The Toronto BMX Jam is taking place this weekend over in Canada. It's a good thing it's an indoor event as the riding conditions outside in Toronto aren't too great. The ams had their qualifying event yesterday and 32 riders made it to Sunday's finals. Pro qualifying is today (Saturday). Last year's top 5 riders (1 – Garrett Reynolds 2 – Mike Spinner 3 – Drew Bezanson 4 – Craig Mast 5 – Dennis Enarson) all retuned to Toronto so it will be one worth checking out.

Amateur results first though. This top 32 it to the finals:

If you want to promote a contest a good way to do this is to go to the local schools and put on some sort of demo. David Vazquez to a couple of riders to a school with over 2000 girls and they put on a little show to promote the Revolcon contest that was happening that weekend in Guadelajara. Senad Grosic and Tobias Wicke changed back into their riding gear (the wrestiling match was last week, they missed it) and put on a good show. With 2700 spectators that showed up at the contest you can say that the little demo was

This was the first of five REVOLCON contest series, it was packed by 2700 cheerfull spectators, 130 riders and a very sunny weekend of 30ºC /88ºF (Winter time in Mexico, ha!). It was a delight to have Senad Grosic and Tobias Wicke in Guadalajara, first time in Mexico for both guys, it seems that they had a good time, they got a little bit affected by the change of weather, Mexico's winter time is always sunny and nice to deal with.

The contest took place on a re-new skatepark, we had PARK, DIRT, SPINE MINI RAMP AND FLAT, it was a funny jam format. Riders
