We're still freezing our butt off here but in two weeks time we'll be shredding the Sugar Hills trails at the Valkendijk in Aarle-Rixtel, The Netherlands. For the umpteenth time (sorry, lost count) we're opening the BMX outdoor season with a session at the longest going trails in Holland. The weather has always cooperated so why not this time. Don't forget to bring your shorts, barbeque and sunglasses. I hope we're not pushing it too much.

Anyway, bring your friends and show them the legendary Sugar Hills, the venue of the FAT-JAM, the place ridden by Mat Hoffman, Jay Miron, Todd Lyons, Chase Gouin, Dave Clymer, Ian Morris, Stuart King, James Shephard, Leigh Ramsdell, Day Smith and all the party people from Cologne in the past. Don't expect much of the trails so bring some booze because we'll have some tunes. That parasol you're bringing will get you some friends in case it does rain.

Let's open the outdoor season right.
