Let's get the promotion campaign started! We're going Heavy Metal style all day at the 24th edition of the FAT-JAM in Aarle-Rixtel. Fitting music, free beer and the dress code is: Heavy Metal. Tight jeans, long hair, jeans vests, spiked bracelets, black shirts and crazy sunglasses. You better get ready for this one. After the riding is done at the Sugar Hills, Monster Energy will start up the BBQ and we'll be preparing for a crazy night out at OJA, with a live heavy metal cover band. Is it gonna rock? Damn right!
Forget going to the barber shop for the next few weeks, work on your guitar solo skills, get your heavy metal outfit ready, it's going to be a lot of fun. 18 August is the day. The jam will kick off at 13:00hr on the Sugar Hills dirt jumps on the Valkendijk in Aarle-Rixtel, Netherlands. If you wear the 2012 FATJAM shirt, you get yourself free beer. Available at the jam for € 15,=.

Campsite info, click HERE.Hotel info, click HERE.Or Google that shit. Just don't skip the Heavy Metal party!
Vans hooked us up with an electric guitar and we're going to give it away at the FATJAM this Saturday. Normally these guitars would go out to whoever does the sickest trick during a pro comp so we're not going to make it easy on you at the FATJAM. Or maybe we are.
We want you to play that thing and ride the Killer jump. Not at the same time, but you can score points doing both. For those who can play, but don't trust themselves riding, they can team up with a rider. Dirt jumpers who know someone who can play well, should bring him/her over to rock some tunes at the 24th FATJAM this Saturday 18 August. The winning team gets to keep the guitar and will receive some Vans goodies.
For technical questions, hit up
Timo van Lierop. He's bringing an Amp and some extra guitars. Can you say Heavy Metal Thunder!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!??????
The new Killer jump looks KILLER! Thanks to the locals for getting the Sugar Hills back in top shape for the 24th edition of the FATJAM.
