Govert Schonewille and his family and friends always show up when there's a (local) BMX jam going on. Now they're throwing a jam of their own over in America. Yup, that's true, they live in a place called America in The Netherlands. So if you want to go Lake jumping this weekend (Saturday 12th), want to ride a private bmx track, indoor park section or want to ride their trails, head on over to the Nieuwe Peeldijk. Starts at noon and goes till late. BBQ will be fired up and some music will play all day long. They've got 2 bikes for the lake jump action so bring a towel if you want to go crazy.

Today marks September 11th, a date that went into the history books because of what happened in NY in 2001. I remember driving to Geldrop to pick up a part for my MX bike when I heard it on the news. As soon as I got back home I turned on the TV and was stunned by what happened. This is 8 years ago already and if you let me, I'll continue with some bad news. All round good buddy Peter Fastenroth crashed at the trails the other day and smashed his face in. They had to cut his skull and lift his face to insert some titanium plates and screws. Scheisse! Frank's got cancer. Damn. Frans Swinkels had a burst apendix and was operated upon on arrival in Afghanistan on his next mission. Chris Doyle broke his ankle so he's pissed too. A kid on Philip's school died this week because of a tumor. Way too young. Pim van den Bos' face had healed up from his horrific crash in Belgium and now he has broken his ankle while doing "ne meeuw". I'm sure there are plenty of others around that are still suffering from a crash or illness and it plain sucks.
