Info on the 25th edition of the Mini FATJAM. Sugar Hills trails, Saturday 28 March 2015
Back in 1990 we were happy to see that the local council had given us a place to ride our bikes in the dirt. That place at De Valkendijk needed some work and in April we invited over some friends for a session to open up the outdoor season. That turned out to be the first Mini FATJAM, the little brother of the summer edition of the annual FATJAM that started a few years before that. Anyway, fast forward 25 years and the dirt spot at De Valkendijk is still there being used by the BMX locals all year. Two days out of the year it's time to prepare the jumps a little better for the visitors. This year the season opener will take place on March 28th, the 25th edition of the Mini FATJAM.

Called Maki_Seams this detail makes for most direct feel of the grips/bar and identify the Ledge as a great companion in gravity riding. Moreover, these gloves score with a single piece palm layer to provide great fit without creasing especially when you clench the fist around the bar. This also results from a strongly pre-curved
