BMX rider Daniel Dhers built ramps out of salt at the Uyuni Salt Flats in Bolivia, a high altitude desert known as the largest salt pans on the planet.

It's holiday season and what place better than spending time in paradise. Saturday evening's session was turned into the first official unofficial FATJAM session abroad for all riders who were present. As mentioned, A LOT of 040BMX riders made it so it felt like a local jam, but then in Spain.
Eurocamp has a decent pump track, some smaller trails, a street section, foam and resi part as well as some bigger trails and a killer park. Not to mention the spine mini which was the only part we did not hit with the group as it was getting dark and we kicked off the BBQ's already.
