It's great to see new riding spots pop up. Pump tracks are all the craze but a large asphalted Velosolutions riding spot isn't in every city's budget. Sometimes you have to work with what you're offered and the hard working crew in Oirschot pulled off a new spot next to the public swimming pool in the woods. Daniel Wijsmuller designed and shaped the Kemmertrails and during the opening plenty of people turned up for the first few laps. With a table/double line on the outside and a pump track in the middle it is a sweet spot for anyone on two wheels. Because the top layer isn't made of asphalt, you won't see many scooter kids/skateboarders/inline skaters around. BMX and MTB riders however can enjoy their bikes at the open and free spot in Oirschot, just 10 minutes outside of Eindhoven, NL.

Been an awesome summer, met some rad friends had lots of laughs. Rode some sick spots over in the UK and France. Thanks to all the locals looking forward to next year already. Here's a few GoPro vids and clips from my phone that I put together in this little 3 min edit. Roll on 2018.
