KARDINGE BIKEPARK TELT INTERNATIONAAL MEE

Een foto van bikeraces van afgelopen zomer had ik nog in mijn bezit. Even googelen, plakken en knippen. Op een internationale site (FAT BMX MAGAZINE) kun je lezen dat Bikepark Kardinge volop meeteld:

After the enormous success of the first stop of the Red Bull Backyard Digger in Leende, the Red Bull Diggers and crew traveled all the way up north to Groningen. With the pleasant Sunday afternoon sun beaming down, the most northern trails of Holland were well on their way to become an often-frequented spot! When approaching the huge indoor iceskating rink Kardinge, a gigantic artificial mountain rises up from behind. This mountain was once supposed to become an artificial ski course, but these plans have been changed drastically. Right now, a four cross mountainbike course is occupying the mountain, with a downhill course right next to it. Recently, they added a dirt course to it. Stichting Bikepark Groningen brought this to the attention of Red Bull, who decided it would be the perfect location to host the second stop of the Red Bull Backyard Digger. Even though the conditions were tough, due to the unfortunate weather the week before the event, everyone was motivated to make the best of the course. Useless to point out, Stichting Bikepark Groningen were on it every day, from sunrise to sunset. Also great to see the ladies Sterre, Sophie and Shelly in full effect and not afraid to get their hands dirty.
