A review of the first Bensink Speed & Style Jam Season Closener, fueled by Rockstar! No stress, just fun in the Bensink 'yard'!
It's autumn again and the gravity season is coming to an end. All the main races and contests are behind us. So it's time to relax and ride with your friends. No stress, just fun.
Professionals, riders for fun and a bunch of kids were invited to the first Speed & Style Jam at October the 4th, in 'the yard' at the Bensink BMX Gates compound. The weather was good, fortunately, because the day before it was raining hard during the Dutch 4Cross Championships.
What more can you ask for: the sun was shining, awesome dirts, nice music and free Rockstar drinks.
Riders and spectators from across the Netherlands came to Bensink, to close the season under relaxed circumstances. About 100 BMX and MTB-riders enjoyed the dirts and the speedline, which Desmond and Wichman built and shaped in the weeks before the event.
After a good warm-up, the big tricks were shown. Backflips, 720's, frontflips, you name it. Wichman made some efforts to land a 360.... Desmond, Bart Mol and Derio (winner of the Style Award) made one big trick after another. Even Mister Johannes Fischbach was impressed.
Frank 'the Tank' Heijne was battling to set the fastest time on the speedline. It was good to see that all the dirt riders also tried to set a fast time. In the end Frank won, but it seemed he had bribed the time officials with a few euro's just to get a hold of the prizes...;)
