A stress free day of BMX is what everyone can use. It's what they got at the 2016 edition of the Mini FATJAM in Aarle-Rixtel. This time of the year it's a bit of 'wait and see' what kind of weather you get in early April but we got the hottest and best day of the year. Lucky? Maybe yes, but you get what you deserve is what some say. All goofiness aside, once again a whole bunch of BMX riders showed up at the Sugar Hills in Aarle-Rixtel. The message had come across that it was going to be a good day full of riding the dirt spot and going home with a prize or two donated by our sponsors. With the Ambulance Event Service around the riders had no need to hold back. The medical unit was set up nearby while DJ Charm was playing old school hip hop tunes for most of the afternoon from the Red Bull Sound car. And the riders? They just rode, and rode, and crashed, and got up, and rode and pulled off a new line, did a new trick and picked up another goodie during the 30 minute session in the -13 or 13+ class.
People who have been to one of these jams before know that it's a
FATBMX webmaster since day one Jos Wissink made the two-hour drive down from Oldenzaal and brought his camera along. It's always nice to have Jos around and we end up with a batch of extra pictures from the day to show you. So if you're looking to see if you made it on FATBMX, make sure to flip through the pictures. The focus is on the riding so if you're expecting to be in the photo report drinking a Bavaria, you're missing out. Thanks for the pics Jos. Come on in and enjoy.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
