Better late than never. We have put a photo gallery together of the young ones who came over to the FATJAM to ride at the Sugar Hills trails. It was a full day of riding together with the big boys. At 15:00hr we got the dirt spot to ourselves and uncle Paul got on the microphone and made some funny jokes. He also gave out two boxes full of prices and everyone who rode the dirt jumps received at least something. I was ultra happy with my new TSG Dawn helmet. I've wanted that helmet for a long time but my head was not big enough yet. Now it is and it fits perfect. The session was great. Jocki did nice no-footers and also great no-footed cancans. Jarno was doing cool one-footers and then Paul told him to do a one-footer with his other foot for a prize. We all rode long trains together.

Some riders crashed, but got back up again. At 16:00hr Daniel Wedemeijer put on a short demo on the Killer jump. Tom van den Bogaard and Arjan Ellens joined in and so did a few other riders. At this point I went and got a hamburger from Frits. I liked it a lot. It was a long day of riding but it's always nice to ride together with others. I'm looking forward already to the next Mini-FATJAM which will happen around the first weekend of April next year. Uncle Paul's shop will be 20 years old and he wants to celebrate it with all BMX-ers. Thanks to everyone for coming to Aarle-Rixtel. See you again soon.
