So I’ve come to Holland to visit Nicky G for a few days, after he took me round Amsterdam and his hometown of Haarlem he declared “I hate Holland” and told me we were leaving to go on an off the cuff road trip. Who am I to turn this down? So we headed north across the Closing Dyke to Groningen Bikepark .
Geert Wilders – probably why Nicky hates Holland, google him, he’s a dick. Geert Wilders that is, not Nicky. He’s a great guy.
We met up with two local riders Max and Oscar and rode some of the jumps and trails. Our jumpers got thrown in a muddy puddle by someone, which sucked. After finishing in Groningen we headed to Billerbeck in Germany to ride a concrete snake run we saw on the internet. The clutch on the car exploded as we arrived and we stood in the street and pretended we understood what was wrong.
Nickys house.
We checked out the skatepark in the morning, it was pretty fun, Nicky did some sweet frontboards on a down rail. We then left Billerbeck and headed to a garage in eastern Holland where we learned what was wrong with the car. So we ended up back in Haarlem to exchange Nickys dad’s broken car for Nickys mum’s (yet) to be broken one. Now we are heading to Maastricht to see some dude called Arno VDV and then on to Brussells and Wyani with Evan Carlson…
