way up, or jump the launch ramp on the party bike and turn around at the last cone to get back. Now if you have seen the party bike you know it's hard to jump that thing but still some guys went for it and survived. The trick in this contest was the choice of beer that was available. All nice and warm so it would taste like shit from the start. 
The choice was between a regular Bavaria beer (5% Alc.), an 8.6% Bavaria beer and there were three Gross Kanon cans available of 11.6% Alc. content. If you picked the regular beer, you were treated with a 15 second penalty from tthe start. The 8.6 beer had no penalty and no bonus. The 11.6% cans had a bonus of 15 seconds before you even started the race.
People were looking for ways to profit the most of what was available. Which beer? Should I jump? What's the fastest way to drink? Respect to those who participated. Drinking a warm beer and then ride a bike isn't a smart thing to do, but we had a race going on here. Fast drinkers gained seconds on the first part, fast racers gained seconds on the last part. Jeffrey Tessemakers proved to be good at both. Quick drinker (11.6%), good jumper (cleared the launch ramp on the party bike without any problems) and a fast racer (he races BMX). His winning time was 33:60 
seconds and claimed the Snafu 8.6 title for 2010.
Now get on the drinking program to get in shape for 2011.

FAT JAM 2010 report
The Snafu 8.6 race has become a fun side event at the FAT JAM. It started a few years ago and is now in its third year. This year we had two versions. One for the kids under twelve which did not have any alcohol involved, and the 12+ class. Well, yeah, uhh, that class did have some alcohol involved but there was no police around to get anyone into trouble. The -13 class was transfered into the "Snafu T-shirt race" where the kids had to open up a T-shirt package, put on the L or XL Snafu shirt and then they had to slalom between some cones ont he way up, and on the way back on their own bikes. The size of the T-shirts got in the way for most of the kids but that was the fun part. They got to keep the Snafu shirts so they'll have something to wear in the next 10 years or so. Winner, with a time of 32:78s was Teun Swanen, followed by Nick Swanen (33:70s and Jan Donkers (34:60s).
The actual 8.6 race went something like this: You first had to drink a can of beer before you had to take the party bike and slalom on the
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
