Trains and BMX was the contest format for the Tjoeketjoek jam on Saturday in Rotterdam. With DJ Koen Soulcycle, host Surfstad, a Jury of old guys from The Hague and all new youngstar BMX riders from the Netherlands were the ingredients of this jam. Skateland opened their doors for a Saturdaynight jam. Four riders in a team riding thru the park like a train. The teams Rearwheel, KLM and Roffa where rocking in the final.
Team Roffa had a kind of dead wish tricks from the ghetto´s of Rotterdam. While team KLM proved their flying skills by opening with a frontflip (by
Nicky) and some real high moves by
Daniël Wedemeijer. But the guys really riding like a train were team Rearwheel with
Vladdie, Michael, Brendan and
Marten.
With a run made by a real choreographer they showed how a BMX run with lot of technical riding could be like a theatre show.
In the afterchill of the jam a couple of riders did a train on the spine with 360´s both ways for fifteen minutes.

After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
