Just a few weeks after the Mini FAT-JAM we're calling for another jam: The Helm Jam. Another trails spot in the South of Holland. The jumps are being shaped as we speak and if you feel like lending a hand you're always welcome. 2 May will be the official last minute digging day with extra shovels available and a big crew from Belgium coming over to build extra hits, form new lines and make the place a bit more interesting for Sunday's Helm Jam (3 May!). We've got good support for this one:

Monster Energy are coming over again. Free drinks for all. Nike 6.0, Paul's Boutique, Mirraco, and Eastpak donated some prizes for the day which starts off at 13:00hr. That's when open practice starts. At 14:00hr we're going to do a little very unofficial BMX race for the kids in two classes: Under 8 and 8-12 years old. Register for free at the event. There will be no starting gate or lights or anything like that. Just riders ready, go! For the kids, you know. Free to enter and registration is at the pump track from 13:15 - 13:45hr. We'll figure out a way to finish this race in an hour and then it's off to the bigger trails that are right next to it. From 15:00hr - 16:00hr the official jam session will take place. Very loose plan again with prizes given out on the fly. After that the gates are open for three more hours. Free to spectate, free to ride. Small jumps, bigger jumps, come on over and try it out.
