2012 FATBMX REVIEW: AXEL JURGENS INTERVIEW.
This summer FATBMX visited Eurocamp, a fairly new place in Spain ran by Axel Jurgens and his wife Rosario, home of the 2012 Vans rebeljam. Simply put, the place is amazing and the hospitality by the Eurocamp and Camping Pola crew was awesome. Setting up a place like this doesn’t come easy. We sat down with Axel Jurgens to see what it took to get Eurocamp going.

FATBMX: Where did the plan come from to start Eurocamp and how did you end up in this place in Tossa de Mar?
Axel: It all started by coming to Europe every summer to ride different events and ride with people from different parts of Europe. Since Europe isn’t such a big piece of land compared to other continents, I thought it isn’t so hard to get people to come to one place to have a session together. I thought Spain, with its good weather and being next to the sea and next to a big city (Barcelona), was a good spot to start a camp. It’s close to the border of France, and close to other countries which means you
