On the right you see a photo of the current situation of the Helm Trails in Helmond. Easily the biggest public dirt jump spot in The Netherlands. The jumps in the photo might not look huge but they are not for whimps. At 6 feet high they are a decent size. Trials are never finished so a lot of building will be done. No one has jumped yet so we'll have to see if they work this way or not. The fun part about dirt is that it takes a shovel to get the exact transition, distance and landing that you wish. First runs should be going on early next week.

If you feel like helping out, you're welcome. Big trails means big maintenance. Directions: Johannes Vermeerlaan (type number 112 in the route planner), Helmond, NL.
