We'd heard about this spot in Geldrop but had never been to it. A little search on Google gave us the street name (Thorin) and the search was on. On the way we passed a little miniramp and street ramps and just 2 minutes after that we made it to the dirt spot. A zigzag fence was placed to keep the mopeds out which was good. I'm not sure where you rode when you were a kid but this is certainly one of those places for starters. Once they get better or grow older the jumps will grow with it. Basically it has one starting hill and three

tables on the first long straight followed by a 180 degree turn. On the way back is a big rhythm section. But there is plenty of space for expansion inside the area. With spots in Leende, Asten Heusden, Boekel, Aarle-Rixtel, Helmond, Geldrop (all within a 25 minute drive) it looks like this is the new trend. First every town needed a miniramp. Now everyone needs a dirt spot. A good sign for sure. Use Google Maps or your navigation system to help you get to Geldrop. It was a bit wet on our first visit but once it dries up a little we'll be back for a little session.
