The RedBull backyard digger program helped out three towns this summer and one of them was Zoetermeer. While in the area we decided to check out the venue. It was right next to Snowworld so easy to get to. Once at Snowworld we followed the "Fietscrossbaan" signs and the newly built trails were right next to it. But the track was so much fun that for 30 minutes we did not even check out the trails! Noone was riding the spot so it was hard to see how the spot worked from a little distance. Once closer the jumps were BIG! Some sections are still under construction or need a bit of shaping but the

two main lines start from a hill and bomb straight down to huge sets. It is hard to judge speed going down a hill for the first time and yours truly wasn't going to find out the hard way. Hopefully a jam will happen sooner or later because it will make for some awesome riding with plenty of airtime. Definitely built for riders like Bart Mol who doesn't mind going big. To play it safe we rode the BMX track some more but let us know when a jam is planned and we'll head back over there. Open 24/7. Free to ride. Bring a shovel. Have fun.
