I'm from the Netherlands, and grew up there. So, I was practically born on a bicycle. From there I just decided to go Mountain biking, never looked back. Smile

Watching NWD 4, basically. My first contact with mountain biking was watching that video for the first time and watching Cedric Gracia do a suicide no-hander over a road gap...

Later, when I could pick my jaw up off the floor, I went out and earned a bunch of money, bought my Eastern Slash... started riding this summer. Smile

Watching Romo in Drop In 4 years ago got me hooked. Watching him still gets me pumped to get out and ride.

I saw a bunch of guys riding some dirt jumps and knew i could do that way better than they were. two months later i was addicted to cross country, downhill, and dirt-jumping.
