Blue sky, no wind. When does that happen in Holland? Maybe when you've scheduled to host your event indoors. But no, this one was for real. The Helm "sping" Jam last Sunday attracted riders and visitors from all over the place for a relaxed dirt session. Mike van de Kerkhof and crew got the jumps ready just in time. Some banners were put up and Monster Energy once again made sure we had tunes for the day. It was a free dirt jump session that started at 13h00. On the nearby kids track a little race was held in two classes: Minus 8 and 8 - 12 years old. The race wasn't announced big time to avoid licensed racers coming in with their screaming dads. It was for the locals and whoever fancied entering. The start was just a line that was drawn on the grond with a branche, same for the finish line. Call it old school or unorganised, I don't care, the kids were into it and had fun. 5 kids entered the -8 class and making it to the finals were Veerle de Jong, Jarno Henraat and Philip de Jong.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
