FATBMX Your Online BMX News Resource Since 1998

The annual FATJAM will take place at the trusty Sugar Hills on 22 August 2015. Once again BMX fans from all over will make the trek to Aarle-Rixtel for a quick visit to Paul's Boutique BMX Hardware Store at Dorpsstraat 66 in the morning before heading to the dirt spot at the Valkendijk. None of the FATJAMs are the same so also this year something special can be expected. Over the years we've had free beers, an Evel Knievel stuntman jumping from one side to the other side of the spot, and we've had free Vans waffles. We also had the BMX Olympics at the spot on the Valkendijk and beer races with the party machine. Flatland shows with Matthias Dandois and the Bike Devil? Check.

Needless to say, it's always a good time in Aarle-Rixtel. Mooon will play a live set and OJA has already opened their doors to welcome the FATJAM fans at night. 2 snackbars have stocked up on Frikandellen, Mexicanos and Kroketten so don't you worry about getting hungry. Together with some Bavaria, the puke will look interesting.
