Just in case you like to party the following info regarding the official Mini FATJAM Afterparty might interest you. Starting at 8pm the Old Skool Hip Hop dress to impress party will kick-off at OJA in Aarle-Rixtel (Schoolstraat 2). OJA has been the chosen party place for all FATJAMs simply because it's the perfect fit. Located in the middle of town the walls of OJA could write a BMX history book. 
On the evening of 2 April OJA will look like you've stepped into the Bronx of the '80s when block parties were held, breakdance was coming up, scratching was invented and rappers looked like freaks. So no matter how you get dressed, you will find the perfect fit as a gangster, breaker, or rapper from the '80s. Just make it fit. DJ Seepman will handle the tunes so you're in hands. It has been a while since we could party like there's no tomorrow. We can't wait.

2022 Mini FATJAM (+afterparty) info post. Saturday 2 April it's on!
The Sugar Hills trails in Aarle-Rixtel really started running back in 1990. It was also the first year a jam was thrown to open up the outdoor season. The March/April date remained on the calendar for the following 30 years. The name of the jam was dubbed the Mini FATJAM as the younger brother of the FATJAM that has taken place in the same town since 1988. Unfortunately over the past two years the global pandemic forced us to pull the plug and no events were possible in the way we envison them; having fun together. But guess what, the Covid situation is allowing us to invite the BMX family and friends to make a trip down to Aarle-Rixtel again on 2 April without any restrictions as long as we don't exceed the 500 maximum capacity. So do yourself a favour and make sure you show up early in order to "get in".
Bring your bike, a chair, your friends, some food, drinks, a good mood and you'll fit right in. Red Bull will handle the wings for the riders and their sound car will be set-up for tunes all afternoon. It's free to participate, it's free to spectate, it's free to park, it's free to use the toilet. We've collected some goodies from our sponsors (Thanks to @ridetsg / @paulsboutiquebmx / @fatbmx) so make sure to join the special session at the Sugar Hills Trails at 16:00hr. The trails are open for a session starting from 13:00hr and offer smaller jumps for beginners and the KILLER jump for the pros. It's an opportunity to ride dirt even if you are not a 'dirt' rider. The trails can handle some serious rain so no worries about the spot not being rideable even when snow is expected in the days leading up to the Mini FATJAM. We will ride!
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
