Here is an update to this article we posted up recently about BMX companies donating to a very good cause. We've got some photos of how the bike came out and Nick Ziegler filled us in on who made things possible:

Robbie Chapman now has his S&M with him in Cali. Word got out out we were short on shipping funds and my buddy Scott Day with American door and supply in Appleton WI said ship it on my dime, so we rushed him the bike to get Robbie back on the track ASAP!

The FAT FAVOURITES list:

Spot to ride: Baiter Skatepark, Prevail Skatehouse Bowl

The 2015 Winterjam was supposed to take place a couple of weeks ago but snow on the roof caused a leak and the event was moved to Saturday 28 February. Peter Geys and his crew have added more wood to their park which is connected to The 900 Shop to form a nice place to ride, especially when it's cold and wet outside. Doors to the park were open at 16:00hr and the little fun comp started at 18:00hr. With Peter's own riders forming the judging panel and Peter on the microphone things got underway with a decent line-up. Everyone got two runs each followed by a best trick contest on the spine, box and the street section of the park.

Throw Jimmy van Belle, Kenneth Tancre, Daniel Wedemeijer, Bram de Laat, Niels Mertens and the other riders in one park and you'll get a good session. The vibe was fun and riders were calling out tricks for others to do resulting in some nice attempts, crashes and pulled tricks. When it was time to ride the park all you by yourself the good tricks came out. Some pulled clean runs till the end while others wanted to pull that one trick that they had in mind.
