Title: skating in the netherlands
Post by: rolling is good on July 27, 2006, 06:27:22 AM: I'm going to the netherlands next week,I know I'll stay in amsterdam for a few days then probably rotterdam, utercht and other places , so as usual I'd like to know if some skateparks or street spots are well worth going. I know this site,http://www.skateboardfederatie.nl and it looks like amsterdam has some sick ass parks.
Also, if you have other useful infos, skate wise or not, let me know.
Thanks.

Travel info can be found here (http://the-yard.nl/index.php?section=info). Be sure to check out Everland skatepark (http://www.skateparkamsterdam.nl) in Amsterdam. Besides the SFN site you already found Rootdown (http://www.rootdown.nl/) also has a nice spotcheck section.

You go there by ferry, which is free, take the most left ferry that arrives every half hour, when you get off the ferry, ride about 100 metres, take a right, and after 100 metres you'll have Everland on you're left. 5 Euros for entry.
