This time the location of Streetmasters was Amsterdam, a day we all have been waiting for! With a perfect location at the Museamsquare, in the center of Amsterdam and perfect weather the day couldn't go wrong!
Nine riders entered the competition, which is a lot for Holland so that was cool. We made pools and I ended up against our LostBmx member Erik Hogers. Sietse van Berkel was competing for the 3e place against my brother and crew member Bodean Maarsen.
There was a good crowd and Hoite Polkamp was on the mic, so everything went perfect! The battle against Erik was fun, we started out with a real battle to see who of us could do which trick. Erik wasn't pulling his bunny whips, maybe he was still traumatised from his crash. But later on I dropped some links, not all of them were clean since everything went so fast and I had no time to rest.
I heard the judges had some discussions about who should have won, but in the end I won again!
The results were:
1. Dez Maarsen (Me)
2. Erik Hogers (LostBmx)
3. Sietse van Berkel
4. Bodean Maarsen (LostBmx)
Bram also made a small report at Dutchflatland, check it out!
Last Saturday Streetmasters was held in Dordrecht! They have a pretty nice skatepark which is build under a bridge that works as an elevator! It's pretty weird to see! Six riders showed up to compete and there were three judges, so we had good session! The vibe was really 'ghetto' but that was what made it really cool!
A few crackheads were going totally nuts during the final battle, it was really funny. Hope someone made a picture of them! Everything went very well! But I had nasty crash, so my arm is pretty scarred:(
The results were:
1. Dez Maarsen (Me)
2. Sietse van Berkel
3. Michael van der Kroft
Video will follow later!
Next week Streetmasters in Amsterdam! Looking forward to this one! Great location and great vibe!
