BMX Freestyle : ROAD TRIP IN THE NETHERLANDS... by Kostas Adamopoulos & Nikos Kallianis

6 months ago me and my friend Nikos planned a trip to the Netherlands. We planned this trick because traveling to ride your bike is the greatest deal of all. We chose the Netherlands because it's the motherland of bicycles...  When we first arrived in Amsterdam, we stayed there for four days and the first ramp we rode was an metal miniramp in the center. Then we headed to Almere. There was a nice small bowl and a huge metal vert ramp. The next day we headed back to the center of Amsterdam and rode in the

concrete bowl. We stayed there for 2 days, we killed the place (haha). We went to the coffee shops and had some good times..

We left Amsterdam and headed to Amersfoort, there was a very nice skatepark underneath a bridge beside the highway. This was one of the coolest skate park we've ever been to. We rode there all day long and we met a local street rider.

So,we hit the road back again to find the skatepark in Apeldoorn but cause of the bad weather we stayed in the car chilin, smoking and just admiring the nature of the Netherlands.

After that we headed to Zutphen which is the most beautiful town we have ever seen, we stayed there for a couple of days walking around the alleys. The next day we went to the Zutphen concrete skatepark and while riding we met some locals Soof and Erdkan and some friends of theirs. They were very kind to us and the same day soof told us "Hey malakes we should go to my town to ride some street!!" His town was Arnhem, the best street spot town we've ever been to and rode. This town was full of transitions, banks, curved walls and awsome street spots! So,without hesitating we went to Arnhem, stayed in Soofs house for three days and rode all around Arnhem!!

Then we headed to Oldenzaal, it took much time to locate the snake run inside the park cause it was raining. We stepped out of the car while it was raining and we found the snakerun. We were very happy we made it. The next day the weather was fine and while we were riding to the snakerun we met Jos Wissink, we rode together, he told us about the history of the park and the the snakerun, he told us that he has been riding there for many years. The snakerun was 30 years old!

Our trip was coming to the end, so we just had to catch the plane from Amsterdam... We headed to Amsterdam but we did a small stop in Amersfoort and we found some bowls in the middle of a forest. We couldn't ride there cause of the mudd inside the bowls..

We would like to thank all the guys who helped us, Soof, Erdkan, Jos, the locals for their instructions and especialy the police for giving us two tickets for illegal parking!!! hahahaha

We suggest to anyone who is bmx rider to go to the Netherlands because you can combine bmx, vacations and good times.
