The good thing about the rebeljam is that the ramps are donated to a good cause after the event. This year the ramps went across the street to the 040BMX park. After a few weeks of hard work by
Pim van den Bos and his crew called for a pre-opening session, simply because the riders could not wait to check it out. The official opening will be around the 20th of this month which gives the crew a little more time to finish things up. Around 70 riders showed up for session number one which showed the need for a dry place to ride in the Dutch winter. A lot of wood went into the new set-up and every inch of available space was used and filled up with ramps. The big foampit had fans all night. The line was big but the fun was there too. Doing transfers was tough with so many riders around but especially
Daniel Wedemeijer showed the potential of the park. Other shredders were
Chanon Balorian and
Nicky van der Veen testing out new tricks in the foam and on the step-up.

Syo van Vliet ain't scared and made his session count. It's safe to say that everyone had their fun during this one-off pre session. The goal is to open up the park 150 days out of the year. The exact opening hours and schedule will be announced on the 040BMX facebook page so keep an eye on that if you want to have a session yourself. Props to the builders, it can only help the scene get better. We will be back.
