Now you're in The Netherlands for the Pro Freestyle event in The Hague. What are your expectations?
Daniel: My expectation is neutral to be honest just because I don't know what to expect yet but just know I will give the fans a great show.
While on the road, do you have much time to ride different spots?
Daniel: It just depends on where we are, I love to ride all spots no matter what it is.
Anything you'd like to ride while in The Netherlands?
Daniel: I would like to ride 040BMXpark but they're saying it's a hour an a half away from where we are staying and I don't have a car so looks like I'll be riding the local parks.
Do you know anything about the Dutch BMX Freestyle scene?
Daniel: To be honest, not really.
Have you checked the Park course they're going to put up in The Hague?
Daniel: No. I just saw pervious lay-outs of this event and basing it off that.
The riders list is pretty serious (for Dutch standards), are you ready to put on a good show for the Dutch crowd?
Daniel: Yea I always ride to my full potential at an event so I hope they will like the riding that happens this weekend.
Any trick in particular you'd like to do this weekend?
Daniel: Not really, I have a few new tricks in my bag I'd like to do but just waiting for the right time but who knows it can happen at this event depending on the set up of the course.
Thanks to: The fans and everyone that supports BMX! And Redbull, totalbmx, Albes for making my dreams a reality.

Daniel Sandoval will be riding the Pro Freestyle comp in The Hague. Interview time on FATBMX!
Daniel Sandoval is in The Netherlands waiting for the Pro Freestyle event in The Hague to happen. It's great to have riders like him come over for a Dutch event that has BMX Park on the schedule. We fired over some questions to Daniel and here are his replies.
How are your memories of The Netherlands? I guess you left the rebeljam comp on a high note in 2012?
Daniel: Yea it was a great time and it was an amazing event!
The Red Bull Framed Reactions in Amsterdam was a different event. What comes to mind when you think about that contest?
Daniel: That will be an event I will never forget! A contest where you hit a object and the ramps would be moved by a train! So insane but I loved it!
You were in Russia last weekend. What happened there?
Daniel: No comment.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
