What will you be doing this summer? Put your PS3 away, get your riding buddies together, find a good spot, convince your local city-council and sign up.

This august the Red Bull Backyard Digger team will revisit The Netherlands with their machines and dirt experts to help BMXers build their dream spot. The dirtspots will be suitable for riders from different levels ranging from small lines for kids up to big lines for pros. The opening of each spot will feature a jam with a DJ and BMX demos by some of the best BMX riders in The Netherlands.

Last summer the Backyard Digger team helped create dirtspots in Leende, Groningen and Amsterdam.

“The Red Bull Backyard Digger team helped us to build the jumps we really wanted,” said Barry Köhne, one of the Amsterdam locals.

Dale Reves, father of two of the boys that participated in creating the spot in Leende, is still very happy about the project. “Every day after school the kids go to the spot and stay there until dark. It’s nice that the kids have something constructive to do instead of staying inside watching TV.”

All Dutch riders can register their spot until June 16.

Out of all applications the Red Bull Backyard Digger team will choose the three locations that will be build.
