On March 22 & 23 the first ever #BRAAAB BMX Contest will take place at 040 BMX Park in Eindhoven! The Amateur BMX contest will take place on Saturday March 22 and the Pro BMX contest is on Sunday March 23. There’s a limit to 50 rider for both PRO and AM so don’t sleep and register yourself RIGHT HERE.

Every year 040 BMX Park organizes a BMX contest for the local scene. Because the park is recently rebuild Daniel Wedemeijer and Pim van den Bos (owner 040 BMX Park) decided to organize a contest together. Daniel Wedemeijer:  “For years I have been thinking about organizing a BMX contest in the Netherlands. This never happened till now! The rebuilding of the 040 BMX park and the opening of a big new section are the perfect moment for the first ever #BraaaB BMX Contest. 2013 has been a year where I reached goals I could never think of. Without my sponsors, the BMX scene and the 040 BMX Park this probably  didn’t happen. With this contest I would like to give something back to everyone!!! Two days pure BMX where amateur and pro riders will compete for big prices!’’

Pim van den Bos: “A few years ago, riders from the Netherlands always had to travel to a foreign country to ride a decent park. BMX-ers from the Netherlands had a huge disadvantage because it was hard to adapt to the bigger ramps at international contests. We couldn’t ride big ramps on a weekly base like they could in other countries around Europe. Since we started 040 BMX Park there’s finally a decent place for BMX and the progression of the riders is crazy! It will be a good one to come over for from abroad and the Dutch riders can step it up and measure with the level.”
