A big thank you

Rock A Rail was so good! Big up for Iron Artist Gerben Verweij and friends Melle, Cees, Jordi, Bob and the rest for building/constructing. Thanks for all the support from Protest, Monster, Bataleon, GoPro, Supermarkt, Snowworld and the city of The Hague. Livestream couldn't be possible without Surf Benelux guys Michael Schmitz & Allard Soeters. Commentators Alexis De Tarade, Luc Büthker & Filmers Roderik Patijn and Jasper Doppenberg. Not forgetting the judges Ian Trashmore and Rens van Drimmelen. And the dynamic duo James Thorne & Chris Cab causing havoc and destruction, accompanied by Ramoen Verbeet aka DJ Commander Redbeard.

And of course all the riders who joined the comp, thanks for killing this setup! Thanks Lennart en Onno, Polar, Gigant, Barney Pronk (Neef) and the Grote Markt, Albert Heijn (Roy van Bentem), studio Güthschmidt, Artist in Resident and IBIS Hotel.
Props to Tim Schiphorst for filming and setting up a banging afterparty.

The press, photographers, public, all the awesome athletes, THOR (for the awesome weather) and everybody we forgot.

Was this the best rail jam ever? I don't know, we'll leave it up to you... we had the best time! Have tons of fun shredding this season. See you in 2013!
