Today was a special day for me. It was my first BMX training on an official BMX track. After dinner we went to FCC Wheels in Erp. I looked at the track on the website but I could not wait to see it in real life. My sister was going to ride her first Dutch BMX track also and we were ready for it. I had just got a new bike, the 2015 HARO Expert XL and I love it. Veerle got some new goggles from the Eurobike show that my dad brought over. We gathered our old MX gear and were ready for some laps on the track.FATBMX Kids unite at the FATJAM. Full day of dirt riding in Aarle-Rixtel, NL. By Philip de Jong

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