There used to be a time that there were only 5 BMX events going on in Europe in the summer time. The Die-Hards made a tour out of it and went to Germany for the Cologne comp, Aarle-Rixtel for the FAT-JAM, the World's somewhere in Europe, a jam in some weird village and the King of Concrete in England to finish it off. Times have changed. This upcoming weekend there at least are 10 BMX events going on. That's more than we had all summer years ago. There are two flatland jams going, one in Belgium and one in Germany . The PSP The Champ contest in Augsburg, Germany is kicking off and we also have the FAT-JAM in Aarle-Rixtel on Saturday. Freestyle Holland is organizing some lake jumping on Sunday, The Pannonian Challenge takes place in Croatia, there's a BMX race with a special Freestyle class in Belgium and over in the USA a Chenga comp , a NY Bike Comp and the Dew Tour are taking place (Portland, Oregon). Then we heard that this Saturday will be the 5th annual Boyley Birthday jam in Hastings, England as well. I don't know what you think, but I do believe that BMX is alive and kicking. Pick your event and have some fun this weekend. And drink one on Boyley no matter where you are.
