This was the second time the contest was held in Sátoraljaújhely, the home of many top Hungarian riders in the early 2000’s. Gábor Pásztor, Rob Alton, and the Sport Zone SE team all worked together to make it happen. It was great to see more riders coming just to meet friends and ride. The venue is so big that it allows for all-day riding for anyone. At Sport Zone or any contest where we have a smaller floor, it’s simply not possible to do this; only the contest riders can ride.
Junior B
We saw some nice progress from the competitors, even if they were fewer than usual. The standout moment was “Zazi” pulling his first frame whip in his contest run, giving him the top spot!
Junior
This year, this category is very open, so it can be any of the kids on the podium. Andor Kiss Bose took first place with McCircle and front-wheel squeakers. All the others are so close and all rode well doing Boomerangs, No Handed Cyclones, bar spin infinity rolls, and Decades.
Amateur Men
Patrik Kriston, at just 14 years old, dominated on the day; this was a perfect practice for FISE Montpellier later this month. Pedal Time Machines and difficult front-wheel and back-wheel combos.

Since 1990, the annual Spring BMX Jam has taken place in Aarle-Rixtel around the turn of March and April. The Mini FATJAM is an outdoor event, so it's always a bit dependent on the weather—but on Saturday, April 5th, we couldn’t have asked for a better day. Under clear blue skies and sunshine, the Sugar Hills Trails came alive once again with non-stop BMX action. Riders of all ages shredded the public BMX dirt jumps at the Valkendijk, while the crowd soaked up the good vibes and enjoyed a show packed with flips, tricks, and crashes. The younger riders, especially, were all over the trails—they just couldn't get enough. This year’s edition also marked the 30-year anniversary of Paul’s Boutique BMX, a local shop with international respect and deep roots in the BMX community, much like the FATJAM itself.
The vibe was strong, and the turnout of young riders showed that the future of BMX is looking bright. There was no shortage of talent on display, with several riders under the age of 12 even sending it over the big “Killer Jump”—a crowd favorite.
As the BBQ fired was fired up, the group photo was taken, at 4 PM, the legendary prize toss kicked off, giving everyone a shot at grabbing some goodies provided by the sponsors of the event. The riders pushed even harder to land something cool, and true to FATJAM tradition, nobody went home empty-handed.
The day wrapped up in style with an afterparty at OJA where it didn't take long before the pit opened
