What would the rebeljam be without a good party? Right, there is no rebeljam without a good party. On the program for this Saturday 3 December is the Monster Energy Riders Night at De Effenaar in Downtown Eindhoven. Who doesn't want to party together with the best pro BMX riders? The night kicks off at 21:30hr with the European Premiere of The Hunt video on the big screen. DJ Mike Rock flies in from France and the Disco Dogs cruise over from Cologne to make this a killer party night like they wish they had at the Nora Cup. Did we mention it's free to get in?

Q: What are you riding right now?
A: 1985 Team Hotfoot
Q: What is BMX to you? Not everyone rides parks or dreams of backflips right?
A: It's the next best thing to having wings. It's freedom, it's the secret to perpetual youth, and it's unadulterated cool. Building old school BMX is a creative medium, just a different type of canvas. Regardless of how much I love what I do, and how great my day in the studio was, putting the pencil or brush down and going for a roll is always is always something I crave.
