The Rookie Jam 2010 is writing a story of success again. Nearly 90 starters from 5 nations came to conquer the jam in Cologne. From all over the German country and also from Spain, Switzerland, Belgium and France, young BMX-Fans are travelling to Cologne. It was a pleasure to register that the level is rising up from year to year. Therefore it is amazing to see the young guns of the Rookie-class doing 360’s, Tailwhips and even Backflips like Justin Ufer, who is just about 10 years old. The guys from the Amateur-class are getting even higher. Interesting was the fact that very hard tricks like Flairs and Backlflips are no longer the darling of the audience, but those like technical street-skills. So variations of footjams and railkombis earned the standing ovations by the spectators.

The “oldies” from E.T.-Class were showing that they are still able to rock like hell and so they burned up fireworks of oldschool-moves at the bike & skatepark of the AbenteuerHallenKALK. Especially Manni Beyer and Andreas Althaus, who finished his run

with an amazing “Topgun”.
