Riders know best. And that's why Nico Vink and Kristof Lenssens founded Ride Creations in 2011. With 15 years of experience travelling around the world, racing World Cups, riding bike parks and shredding FEST jumps, they decided it was time for a new challenge.

Last winter they got the chance to build a brand new bike park in the pine woods Hürtgenwald, near Aken, Germany. While Camp Ramps took care of all the logistics, they left the creative design and building completely up to Nico and Kristof. Together with the locals they started building and it's safe to say they used the full potential of the location. While they might be known for building the biggest line for LooseFEST, they've built a bike park suited for all levels. From the green flow track to the steep black downhill tracks, there's line-options everywhere, whether you are a pro, or riding just for fun.

 But Malemdy (Belgium) is just 30 Minutes away. So you have two small but awesome parks within 1/2h. They did an awesome job there to build maybe the best european jumptrack after Hafjell!

 1st world problems mate? I guess some of haven't really quite got a grip of how fortunate we are to be able to shred plastic fantastic rigs on beautifully carved trails. Germans don't have to do what they're doing, but mad props to them for doing so. Everyone has the right to shred, or live without fear of being killed. Nico hangs like Jordan on those jumps.
