The 2025 Dutch National BMX Park championships took place at the House of Urban Sports in Amsterdam this past weekend. The indoor place had been transformed into a very decent BMX park with good sized ramps. The Spine, roller, hip and quarters that were added and built over the street obstacles provided enough ramps for the riders to put on a good show. The crowd was amazing all day with the grandstands filled with fans, parents and fellow riders to support what was happening on the FOP.
Several age group classes were added to the day next to the Elite Men and Elite Women classes: Under 13, Under 16, Men Amateur, Women Amateur. A good number of riders entered and the qualification rounds as well as the finals were completed in one day. Being indoors sure made a difference here. Under the tunes of DJ Redbeard (Tokyo 2020 Olympic skateboard and BMX DJ) riders pushed each other to ride at their best potential. Odin Paulissen won the U13 class while his brother Saimi took first in Amateur. These two brothers live, eat, sleep BMX so expect to see them around for years to come. Madhu Furst was a clear winner in the U16 class with solid runs packed with tricks. Gino Cox gave everything he had to finish 2nd. Amateur Women and Elite Women rode together in one comp but the results were split. The first place in Amateur that way went to Louis Koolwijk. The battle for the Elite title was between Indy Krämer and Jikke Schraffordt. Shanice Silva Cruz pulled a 540 but had to settle for 3rd. Indy and Jikke had to push hard in order to grab the 2025 title.
