Developed over almost ten years by a team of skaters and BMX riders, the JUMPACK can be carried as a backpack, allowing the user to skate or ride to any destination and deploy a personal kicker in under 10 seconds!

It's March, time to get out there. Good days, bad days but the sun will be here soon. We've added flyers of events happening in 2019. Looks like this year is going to be a hectic year once again and that's a good thing if you ask us. It's up to you to contact the event organizers for info on their event. Add your event to the FATBMX Event calendar so more people will get to know about your race or contest or jam that you're putting on.
We're here to spread the love but you figure out yourself where you need to go. Contact the event organizers before you head over. Times/dates might have changed and we take no responsibility for that. Get together and enjoy BMX, the best thing in the world. 2019 Flyers inside as well as the 2019 event dates. Nothing else to do!?
Get out there and have some fun. Meet new people, visit new places, take some pics for your instagram, pull new tricks, become a better person and maybe win something along the way.

World-Class Mongoose BMX Team to Host Youth Jam Event at Legendary Source Park
Mongoose announced today their professional BMX freestyle team is heading to Source Park in Hastings, UK on May 18th to host the brand’s first annual Mongoose Am Jam. The event – which will feature American riders Pat Casey, Kevin Peraza and Nikita Ducarroz, and UK riders Greg Illingworth, Ben Wallace, and Cam Peake – will give local youth the chance to meet, ride with, and learn tricks from the Mongoose team. Since 2012, Mongoose has hosted an annual Jam event at Camp Woodward in Woodward, Pennsylvania. These Jam events bring together the Mongoose team and their peers in BMX, for an authentic blend of camaraderie and competition.
To keep with the tradition of the previous Jam events, the Am Jam will also feature Jam-style sessions with Source Park BMX amateurs where they can show off their skills for prizes and awards from Mongoose pros. “The Mongoose Am Jam is the next evolution with our events,” said Mongoose Team
Manager Leigh Ramsdell. “ While the Mongoose Jams have always had an amateur element, the Am
Skate park in Osijek will be a true epicenter of extreme sports from June 5th to June 9th, because the Pannonian Challenge festival is celebrating its twentieth birthday in the best possible way - with lots of fun and adrenaline competitions. The jubilee edition will nurture the tradition, but with the introduction of a new discipline in the sports program, scooters. All the visitors can expect many other surprises, especially regarding BMX competitions. Pannonian Challenge is included in the UCI (Union Cycliste Internationale) calendar, which is ranked among the international C1 category
30 years in a row we've opened the outdoor BMX season with the Mini-FATJAM in Aarle-Rixtel. Crazy when you think of it. Most of you reading this weren't riding back then but that doesn't mean that you should not check out the upcoming Mini FATJAM in Aarle-Rixtel on March 30th. It's seriously a jam for everyone who loves BMX or is involved somehow. The trails go from easy rollers (we've got 6 year old kids rolling along) to various lines and of course the KILLER jump. Ride all afternoon as much as you like. Try out dirt jumping if you never ride dirt. The session will be open from 13:00hr - 18:00hr with several prizes going out to the participating riders at 16:00hr. But come over early to get some extra practice in. The Sugar Hills Trails at De Valkendijk in Aarle-Rixtel, NL will be in tip top shape, music will be playing and it's time for another catch-up.
From 20:00hr OJA will be open for those who are still thirsty. OJA has been the after party place of the FATJAM since day 1. Located at Schoolstraat 2 in Aarle-Rixtel you should pencil that into your agenda right now.
What: Mini FATJAM
Where: Sugar Hills Trails, Valkendijk, Aarle-Rixtel, Netherlands
