Last year the first Pro Freestyle edition ever held was in The Hague and had 39,400 visitors and 200 athletes from 20 different countries. Some of the world's best riders attended last year and for 2016 the organisation expects a world class riders list.

Street & Park course:
The action sports course is designed by leading Dutch indoor skateboard and BMX facilities (Pier 15/Plywood and 040BMXPark). A 20 x 40-meter course is a combination between technical street and huge park elements. We are looking forward to see a lot of technical tricks, transfers and air time. Human fireworks guaranteed.
