The FATJAM took place on Saturday August 22 at the epic Sugarhills Trails in Aarle-Rixtel. 040BMXPARK brought the big-bag to practise some tricks for the trails.
And with perfect weather conditions, grillmaster Frits with the best hamburgers in town, chill tunes and perfectly shaped trails all the ingredients were there for the 27th FATJAM.
In the long tradition of epic Austin BMX events, the Chase Hawk / Empire Born and Raised Jam at House Park did not disappoint. It kicked off this past Friday with a bowl shred and a street course best trick contest. Bowl shredders included Austin Brunger, who was totally blasting and flowing, the lovely Nina Buitrago with her oh so stylish one handed grind into a nice one handed tabe, Tomas Fuentes and Michael Woodby were blasting, Santana was on the shred hard in the advanced class, and the little dude who pulled the no handed fakie was seriously awesome....
The best trick contest was held immediately following the bowl jam and it did not disappoint. The winner, as decided by judges Chase Hawk, Chad Kerley, and Dan Lacey, was Josh Dissinger with an epic nose manual 360 off the ledge into the bank, so sick!

The Incase x Kelly Slater Action Camera collection is designed for GoPro users & outdoor enthusiasts in collaboration with Professional Surfer Kelly Slater and world-famous water photographer Todd Glaser.

If you have to deal with the wet conditions (did anyone go to the UCI BMX World's in Zolder this year?), it will keep your equipment dry, which is always a good thing. The bag is designed for you to take your stuff with you and keep it safe.
Kelly Slater Pro Pack,
Month after month a new issue of BMX Plus! magazine shows up. Let me repeat that, month after month. The October 2015 issue just came out and it's got a whole bunch of BMX stuff in it. Make sure to pick one up from your favourite BMX store if they carry it, or find it in the bookstore that knows they need to provide BMX to the masses. Not too many monthly options nowadays in the bicycle section at the newsstands. But a digital version is available also so you don't need to go to the book store and you can read the mag on your tablet, phone or computer. Maybe something for you?
