mark your agenda...

saterday 21 august = City battle in kooigem
it's going to be fun like every year, and free to watch and see for everyone.
as every year, anyone who enters amateur will win something.

more info as soon as i get mike here to do some trick for the flyer.

also, i'm trying to do a jam at the skatebowl early oktober to end the summer, and start the new crank season, and since we are still the only official freestyle bmx club in belgium, we can organize official belgian contests,
so if you want to be the first "belgisch kampioen voetje van de grond" you better be there...

fool jam is over

the fool jam is done, and it was fun
i had to go work at 5:30 just when it began to rain a little,
so i have no idea who won or who did what, so get that info from www.kemobmx.com
everyone likes riding that bowl, and thats enough for me.

hurray for me!!!

fuck yeah!!! i made it.
on 11 may 1985 my dad took me to makro (huge super marked), to get me a bike.
i choose a 20" BMX bike and it changed my life.

we are now 25 years later and i still ride a 20" bmx bike

the reason i still know the date is that my dad doesn't trow out anything, and 5 years ago he gave me the bill from the store (it was 2999 bfr or about 75$)
i still have it, but it's so faded i'm afraid to frame it, so i keep it out of the light all the time.

anyway, bmx has thus far allowed me to see the world, make lot's of friend all over it, start our own Little bmx company with friends and later transform it to an official sportclub that allows every rider to get insurance for cheap (22€/year!)
it also allowed me to learn build ramps and later do this on a professional scale, and spend 2.500.000 € of Belgian tax money on public skate parks all over this country, and even build me my own small skate park.

to keep it short, bmx made me in what i am today, and I'm very happy how i turned out. it also put me on a first name base with most doctors at the local ER, but hey, matt hoffman said it best: pain is temporary, bones heal but womans dig scars and glory is forever!

smallest skatepark in the world, part III

so, after a year changing plans on paper to make it perfect,
and then almost another year building (with lot's of off time, due to way to much other stuff i wanted to do)
i finaly finnished the first bowl and can ride it from now on.

the good news is i now can also finnish the rest of the park, and hope to be able to do this in a small month time.

and thanks mr ross for the first trick





if anyone has 4 sheets 4by8ft and 3/8" plywood left over, bring it!

since a few days, ride on shop now has a grindbox for you guys to play outside,
it's a short thing since it had to fit true the door of the shop, but it's fun to play around.
