Locations: Amsterdam Skatepark >>>

Carry on reading for further images...

Back in December I travelled over to Holland for The Rebel Jam. I was lucky enough to spend some time in Amsterdam prior to the contest in Eidenhoven – One of the highlights of my stay in Amsterdam was being granted a private session at ‘Amsterdam Skatepark‘. This was a good oppourtunity to ride an empty skatepark! And I was really impressed with the facility – The ramp quality was high and the design was fun to ride – It definetly had a ‘street’ bias due to the fact it’s primarily a skateboard park (it’s only open on a Wednesday night for BMX riders!). Also, some of the Qtr pipes are a little slacker than your typical transition. When you’re not on your bike you can chill out in the lounge/bar where you can enjoy a good range of food and drink. All in all, ace skatepark, don’t miss it! – VS

Photos: The Rebel Jam/ Park Qualifiers, etc >>>

For most people ‘Park’ was the highlight of the recent Rebel Jam over in Eidenhoven – The level of riding was incredible! Riders like Alex Kennedy left the crowd hyped with the latest street moves, whilst riders like Harry Main left the crowd speechless with moves like the ‘bunnyhop flair drop-in’ (off sub!). After the riding was finished a killer party went-off, thanks to electrical treats from the Disco Dogs and other assorted turntablists.

Photos: The Rebel Jam/ Flatland >>>

Scroll on down for over fifty banging flatland photos...

I’m opening this one with an apology to my homies on the flatland circuit – It’s taken a little longer than usual to upload the photos due to technical issues on my laptop! But better late than never! For anyone who missed the Rebel Jam (2011), the level of riding in general was amazing – Flatland was no different! The images here were captured on a ‘Nokia N8′; and were captured during the practice sessions! Hit read more to peek over fifty flatland photos – VS
