Through the eyes of an
FMX4Ever rider...
You are an experienced FMX rider. You
have traveled the world and competed
in many high profile events. Now
you have somehow found yourself
at X-Jam on a Wednesday. You are
feeling pretty sick after partying for
three days and nights in a row. You
have no chance of keeping up with the
insane party tempo of these students
as you are about ten years older than
them, and you start to question if they
even know what a hangover is! You’ve
also heard the rumours going around
about the mysterious rider who scored
with sixty girls in one week. HA! You
have a laugh at that and start worrying
about the show.
As night time comes around, the pool
is getting wild and the smell of octane
is in the air. It’s showtime! You’re flying
over the pool with your fellow riders
moving through the progression of
the show, and as soon as everyone
gets in a groove the big flip tricks start
coming out. By this point, the Austrian
students are going absolutely nuts,
and screaming their drunk heads off!
Once everyone has finished throwing
down their sickest tricks and dirtiest
whips the show comes to an end and
you gather on top of the landing with
the other riders. One by one you all
jump into the pool to join the party with
the rest of the X-Jammers. Everyone
is in your face with huge smiles and
stinking of alcohol – you’re lapping up
one of the best feelings in the world.
It’s simply awesome! Next up, it’s
the Hammam party. Since you are a
freestyle rider, you get to go to all the
secret parties and you know that this
one is always the best.
By the time day five comes around
you’re a bsolutely ruined from week.
The last thing you remember is the
sunrise party on the beach…. Even
though you’re a rider, you’ve truly
become a fellow X-Jammer. You
wait in line with all the rest of the
X-Jammers as you board the Black
Mamba for the rum heavy pirate cruise
on the Mediterranean. At this point
you wish you could just stay at X-Jam
forever. X
