Sorry about the massive Mini FAT-JAM promotion this week but we've got to compete with 7 other BMX events this year that are taking place at the same weekend. It seems difficult to look at the FATBMX Event calendar to come up with a date that is still free. Whatever, better 8 events on one day, than no happenings at all. The FAT-JAM and the skatepark opening in Jena, Germany are the only events that are taking place outdoors and yes, the sun has shown its face. Let's get this outdoor season going! Here's the BMX news of this week. Be up to date when you meet with the boys this weekend. Last FAT-JAM event at the Sugar Hills BMX spot in Aarle-Rixtel, NL. 3 bands confirmed for the afterparty at OJA

All good things have to come to an end. The Sugar Hills spot will not survive the year 2009. The dirt jump spot at the Valkendijk lasted over 20 years though so really, we cannot complain. The first Mini-FAT-JAM was held on 22 April 1990. It was an excuse to get together and ride together. Nothing has changed about that idea with the upcoming jam on 4 April next. As usual the week before the Mini-FAT-JAM some serious work needs to be done to get the jumps back in shape. Locals will dust off their bikes and call up their friends to see if they're down for a session. Party place OJA will make sure they've got enough beer in stock and some extra boxes of frikandellen and smikkelsaus are on order at the local snackbars. If you haven't experienced a FAT-JAM or Mini-FAT-JAM in your life at the spot on the Valkendijk, this is your last chance. A historical BMX spot is going to die but something new is in the works somewhere else in Aarle-Rixtel so no, this is not going to be the last ever FAT-JAM in Ale Blie. We've got to keep a reputation up. 
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
