FATBMX 2012 REVIEW: FAT JAM. 35 degrees it was but a few things made it bearable. 1) Plenty of EZ up tents from the sponsors that provided shade. 2) Water canon by Bob. 3) Free cold drinks from Monster Energy. 4) Free Beer! It was another great edition with a few "firsts" such as the big touring car coach that arrived from Belgium with 45 FATJAM visitors inside. Bikes in the luggage compartment and parents who could have a beer or two because they didn't have to drive. Peter Geys set it all up as he has 90 BMX students at The 900 Shop and filled up the bus in no time.

Another "first" was a live music/ride competition. We had a Vans guitar and Vans package to give away. Timo van Lierop brought his amp and guitar for everyone to session and while the Guitar player took care of the tunes, the rider had to ride the dirt jumps. It was improvising a lot of the times but 9 duos signed up and participated. The comp was kicked off by Coach on the guitar and Philip, Veerle and Boyd de Jong on the dirt jumps. No, they didn't win.

Personally I've never been a cuiser fan. BMX is about the 20 inch for me, and 20 inch only. But when a girl in this shape and form would ride by, I'd probably turn my head, even if she's on a 24" bike. The weeky FATBMX pin up isn't much about the bikes, it's more about the chick. Cruiser fan, or not. Check this one out. 18+

Dream, Reality, Determination, Pride, Ecstatic, Nervous, Devastation, Humbled, Proud….2012 London olympic Games was a whirlwind week of mixed emotions! In the lead up to the games the Australian Team spent the week preparing in a peaceful remote area of France out of the hype. I came into this Olympics Games 100% ready to go with no stone unturned and doing every little 1% thing, I was ready.

Entering the village was a surreal realisation of living out a little girl dream that was reality. Competing towards the end of the
