FATBMX Your Online BMX News Resource Since 1998

Wednesday evening might not be the best day to host a jam, but if you don't try, you'll never know. The 040BMX PARK in Eindhoven hosted the Tosti jam last night, a special tribute to local shredder Teun Swaanen who broke his jaw at the park in three places a few weeks ago. He wasn't able to eat any solid food until yesterday when it was time to eat some tosti's again, his favourite food at the park.

Those who came over had a good night. Not only because the menu showed many tasty tosti's, but after two weeks of holidays in The Netherlands and people being back at work or in school, the place wasn't packed. Whatever the reason was, those who put the effort in to make it to Gebouw 52, had no reason to complain.

Making a full report wasn't on my mind. I wasn't even sure if I wanted to open up the camera bag as the riding was too fun.
