Show your city

[Derk the Jerk]

After the show your homies and the post you skating thread I thought it might be a good idea to start a show your city thread. I'll start it of with my hometown of Utrecht, the Netherlands. This clip was filmed in a weekend when some buddies from mine came over to visit me.



And now for some photos for good measures.

Our concrete pool


My buddy skating this handicap ramp the other way around. (Daryl Angel bs nosegrind reverts this in Debacle)


On the edge of the city there is a district area full of spots, mostly stairs and handrails.

It really is. You never get kicked out, there is a supermarket a cross the street, you use the toilets from the buildings surrounding it and there are so many ways to skate that spot.

Awesome, might even consider a weekend trip to Utrecht in the summer or something, it's not extremely far and the spots look real good

PM me when you do, I'll show you and your friends around.

Ahh, I lived back in CT in the 5th grade. But my little brother was in Kindergarten when I was in 6th grade at beryl. The big buddy thing sounds real familiar. I'll have to get up with my mom and ask he if she remembers.
