The FAT favorite list:
-Spot to ride: I have two local spots to ride - Brumov Bike Park which is the outdoor park I grew up in and we have in my city a training resi park that me, David Janáč, Vojtěch Chuchma and Daniel Knotek ride. Built by us!
-BMX video: Harrymania! It blew my mind when I saw this triology for the first time and I am still going crazy about it now!
-Website: Instagram. It’s an app mainly but I love it! Many amazing riders sharing their brand new clips that inspires me to keep working!
-Web video: Logan Martin - STAY DEDICATED. I saw it a million times I guess. When I feel down I just play it and couldn’t even watch it because when I hear it, it displays in my head.
-Food: Any Asian food, mainly spicy food and Dandan noodles
I'm pretty sure there are BMX trails out there that have been around since 1989 and are still running. I'm not sure if there are trails that have seen 2 jams a year annually. We can blame Covid for not having a jam at the Sugar Hills Trails in Aarle-Rixtel but the pandemic has next to disappeared in The Netherlands making it possible for all to get together and have a good time. We've missed this, a lot. With the Mini FATJAM happening at the beginning of the year and the FATJAM somewhere at the end of August each year, the weather risk is certainly present. We had snow on Friday(!) but the trails certainly could you the moisture as the two weeks prior had been sunny and dry making it hard to shape the jumps the right way.
Come Saturday morning the trails were in excellent condition with no dust and no mud in sight. The temperature would not get above 6 (that's Celsius!) so you either had to ride to stay warm, or simply drink a lot. Riding was done constantly for 5 hours by riders lining up on the starting hill who could choose either line to get back in line for another run. The far left took the dare devils to the Killer Jump and the far right line had the biggest sets. In between another 4 lines were ready for action. It is awesome to see the Team NL riders line up with the youngsters, street riders and old schoolers. There was no pressure for anyone so everyone did what they wanted to do. Making it through (new) lines might be the challenge for some while doing tricks through the sets is the challenge for others. But the Mini FATJAM is more than that.
Issue 12 had a green color. In the beginning we picked our color but after some issues we did not care. As long as it wasn't the same color as the previous issue it was okay. The cover photo on the green paper came out nice. Issue 12 had the infamous Believe it, or not?! news section, a reader photo section and also an MBL concert report. We used to have some ramps at the end of our street that we set up differently all the time. It was our ghetto skatepark but it worked for us. We also rode our scooters there, see page 9 and 10.
RAD-LAME list, of course! Entered a Talent Show at school and won! One DJ, one rapper and me flatlanding on stage. We got a trophy and a day off. Sweet.
2 Hip King Of Nothing (Rotterdam) report where they stole my camera. Bad news it was. Free Dave Vanderspek Curb Dogs sticker in this issue. RIP Dave. Yes we rode fullpipes back in the day. 19 years ago in Lieshout. Take that.
Tony Hawk did a demo in Eindhoven and we were there. Ryan Moniham interview, Dynamo Open Air '89 report, Bresie interview, Miniramp pics, Pingel art, Open Dutch vert skate championships, and a freestyle contest report from Sedan, France. Another road trip it was and we rode on carpet! That about sums it up.
Even though Greece's Thanos Grantzas has only been riding a couple of years, he's already killing it.
The GT Airshow (and unplanned firework show) was an all-out indoor frenzy! After the weather dumped rain on everything the ramps were moved indoors and Swampfest continued! Hit play and watch how the final jam of the event went down…
Every meal leaves some crumbs, here's what was left over from a recent trip to Arizona while filming for 'F-IT ALL'.
