BMX is so worldwide that we have visitors from all over the planet coming to the FATBMX site. That means half of you are in deep winter while others enjoy a hot summer. Presenting tank tops might not be a good thing for you right now 
If there's one laid back session of the year, it's the Mini FATJAM. After 23 years of Mini FATJAM's (the little brother of the World Famous FATJAM), the legendary Sugar Hills at the Valkendijk will be the place to be for anyone with a BMX bike. Race, hobby, freestyle, pro, dirt, first timers, anyone is welcome at this day and there are dirt jumps for everyone. Bring a bike and a helmet. If you think you're rebel enough you can ride without a lid but the sketchy condition of some of the jumps might catch you off guard and you'll be eating some nice Ale Blie dust on your crash. We'll have music, drinks and a spot to ride and a whole lot of people hanging out to catch up, talk BMX, shoot some Instagram pics and chill for a day in Aarle-Rixtel.The jam doesn't start until 13:00hr which gives us some time to hang up the Paul's Boutique, Vans and Haro banners and set up the Red Bull sound system and coolers. Those are actually the people supporting the 2014 Mini FATJAM. We'll have FAT stickers all day so hit us up for those.

Seb and Catfish will be balls deep in the action throughout the NASS weekend. If there's one thing these boys know it's BMX...
Seb Hejna: "I am stoked to be once again invited back to MC the BMX alongside my US partner in crime, Catfish at NASS this year. To say we both have fun is an understatement, we not only get to MC with front row seats watching some of the Worlds best riders send themselves over what's set to be an awesome course, but we also get to party with them, and a BMX party is always wild! The only thing thats wilder, is a NASS BMX party! I can't wait for it again this year and hope the crowds are as awesome as always, both to the sports and the music, it’s time to get wild with us again!"
Seb is the newly made editor of Ride UK and in the BMX game for over 20 years riding and commentating.
