After last year's success the Dutch BMX Street championships took place at Skateland Rotterdam this past Saturday. Unfortunately 2020 Street Champion Joeri Veul has had to quit riding BMX but it was great to have him present to hand out the Red White and Blue jerseys, checks, flowers, champagne and goodies to the winners. 25 riders had signed up for BMX Street. 12 would make it to the final. Among the finalists was Park rider Jari Roggeveen who made the switch to Street for the day and was hitting the street section of Skateland Rotterdam at full speed making sure he landed to flat and hit the rail as well. Jari ended up in 2nd with a score of 77,00 points, one point more than Frank 'Powerbank' Nabuurs (3rd) and 0,33 of a point behind madman Janos Baars who started off his
winning run with a bomb drop off of the highest rail in the building and kept going till the very end. 60 seconds of street moves using every inch of the park got him the Red, White and Blue jersey for 2021. The party was on.
