Last night I wrote an info piece on the upcoming Mini FATJAM with details on where, who, what, when, and why. Then, when I wanted to add a photo, things got weird and the write-up disappeared. I hate it when that happens as writing it for a second time is never the same. Now I want to rush this as I had already typed things up last night. But anyway, here we go again so you have the info you need when making plans to come to Aarle-Rixtel on Saturday 25 March 2023.

The Mini FATJAM will held at the Sugar Hills, located at the Valkendijk in Aarle-Rixtel. Google it, check the distance, and then say; let's GO! The trails have been fixed up and are in good condition, even now already so pre-sessions are possible. They are free now and they will be free on 25 March, as is parking, spectator access, toilet use, etc. We just want to get everyone together to celebrate the opening of the outdoor season.

With a bit of luck we can convince Masterchef Fritske Maat again to flip some burgers. Feel free to bring your own booze/drinks/snacks/food/chairs/tents as we're not out there to make money on this as we haven't from the start. The trails have been around since 1990 and has hosted two jams every year. It would be easy to call it quits and enjoy the weekend off, but it brings so much joy to all the BMX-ers from the 4 year old nibbler to the 50+ old school crew. There's something to ride for everyone, from little rollers to table tops to doubles and of course the KILLER jump. We just want to remind you that doing

tricks in the foampit doesn't count. Pulling tricks on an airbag doesn't count. Completing tricks on a resi landing doesn't count. But pulling your tricks on the KILLER JUMP sure does. Prepare for a trick that you want to do on the KILLER. You can post that on Insta!

We'll take care of some tunes during the day. Starting from 13:00hr till 18:00hr. Any moment between that is a good moment to come over and hang, or ride. Things will get a bit more loose towards the end most likely (talking from experience). Getting to ride together is the main motto. Young and old. Beginners and Pros. Bring that BMX. Have some fun.

I've saved the text three times already while typing this up as I don't want to lose it again. The night program will take place at OJA Aarle-Rixtel (Schoolstraat 2). It has been the one and only afterparty place of the FATJAMs for over 35 years. Booking.com has you covered for places to stay. There's actually plenty only a few KMs away. Make it a weekend. Use Sunday to recover and drive back home with a smile on your face.
