2019 - Gym & Sprints #BMXTeamNL. My roomie Tino and I came up with the idea to make some videos of our training sessions in Alicante, Spain. There's a chance that we're gonna make more videos if we have inspiration and good ideas the next couple days. Enjoy the video!

One of my favorite things about racing is going to new places, traveling, and seeing new events. This weekend i am in France for the Avignon indoor race to help promote the new Chase bikes!
