At the moment I'm in a weird situation. I have a copy of the etnies Grounded DVD in my possession and I visited the pre-etnies Grounded premiere jam at the Marnix bowl in Amsterdam but did not stay for the first showing at the Kriterion. I could have beat everyone there by popping the DVD in the player at home and watch it but I did not. Tomorrow we will have the premiere for the Grounded movie in OJA and I am holding off until that moment when everyone is there and the big screen is ready. It's tough though as my fingers are itching....
Due to the late arrival I missed most of the session at the Marnix bowl in Amsterdam. Riders were still around but were either limping, done riding, or already started drinking to get ready for the Grounded premiere at 10pm. Still, good old Bjorn Eulink busted a killer fastplant on request and the local shredders weren't done doing all kind of foot jam variations. I've been promised pics of
Mark Vos' fufanu on top of the Red Bull wall and
Barry Kohne's flair, two highlights that I missed.
If you haven't seen grounded yet and you live within driving distance from Aarle-Rixtel, be there at 7pm tomorrow night (3 June). Don't tell me anything of the video yet if you've seen it. I'm going to watch it with all of you for the first time tomorrow.
