The main reason when the FATJAM was started back in the eighties was to have a good time. That goal hasn’t changed 25 years later. On August 10^th, BMX-ers and friends from all over will make the trek to the Sugar Hills spot once again for some riding on the dirt jumps. But this year, during the 25^th edition, the idea is to have a reunion of riders, bands and friends who have contributed to the FATJAM in previous years.

It’s time to look back on what BMX has given us. It’s time to catch up to see where people have ended up. It’s time to get back on that BMX bike once again for one trick on “The Killer” jump. Many BMX legends have experienced a FATJAM in their lives, from Mad Jon, to Mat Hoffman, from Todd Lyons to James Shepherd, from Paul Osika to Jay Miron. From Dave Nourie to Day Smith. Ian Morris to Stu Dawkins, Markus Wilke to Matthias Dandois, Leigh Ramsdell to Stuart King, from Bruno Hoffmann to Chase Gouin. The list is endless.

If you’ve ever been to one, it’s time to come back for more. If you’ve never been, this is your chance. It might be your last possibility as 25 years is a nice number to wrap it up. Red Bull will come over to give you wings all day long. We’ll have DJ’s playing good tunes at the Sugar Hills at the Valkendijk in Aarle-Rixtel from start (1pm) to finish (8pm). The trails will be in good shape for those who want to get their shred on. We’ll have some Vans goodies for those who give it their all.

After a fun day at the trails, it’s time to get the real party started. OJA has been the FATJAM after party place for all those years and this time we’re blowing the roof off. The place will finally receive a makeover but they’re waiting until this last FATJAM after party to get that project going. Live bands will play on stage until they can’t hold their guitars any longer. Then the DJ’s will come out to make sure the 25^th edition of the FATJAM will end in style.

Does this sound like a BMX party to you? We’ll see you in Aarle-Rixtel, Netherlands on Saturday August 10^th. Bring your bike, and your party friends.
