The past three years have flown by, and it feels like just yesterday that Charlotte Worthington (GBR) and Logan Martin (AUS) clinched the inaugural gold medals in BMX Freestyle Park at the Tokyo Olympics. Now, as Paris 2024 approaches, an additional three riders per gender will compete, bringing the total to 24 riders showcasing their skills at Place de la Concorde on July 30-31, 2024. This venue will also host Skateboarding (street and park), 3x3 Basketball, and Breaking, creating a vibrant urban atmosphere. The newer Olympic sports are set to draw young audiences, and the high demand for tickets reflects this growing interest.
The qualification process for BMX Freestyle has evolved since its debut, becoming more intricate. Ultimately, after six quota places were awarded to the top six finishers of the Olympic Qualifier Series

It's on top of the bucket list for some, the FATJAM. It's been around for so long (since 1988) so if you've never been, and only heard the stories, here's another chance for you. Next one up: 31 August 2024 at the Sugar Hills Trails in Aarle-Rixtel, Netherlands. Dirt riding for all. Youngters, veterans and the KILLER jump for the daredevils. Challenges are different for each rider. Making it through the pack might be one. Finding transfers might be an other. Doing a big trick on the KILLER jump could be on top of the list also. Either way, no pressure, just challenges. Riding together, receiving tips and motivation from those who are waiting for their next run on top of the hill. Being encouraged will help with your personal goals. The FATJAM is the perfect day for it. You ride street? Come ride dirt for a day. You race BMX? Come jump some gaps. In short, everyone is welcome.
Bring a chair, fill up that coolbox. We'll have a BBQ, music, a giant "prize festival" around 16:00hr and a trails spot in good shape. Meet up with everyone. Plan a trip together. Score a photo on FATBMX. The annual FATJAM is full of surprises. If you show up on August 31st, you'll go home with one thanks to a silent sponsor.
Date: 31 August 2024
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
