Dutch Olympic BMX team visit Songo.info in Kayamandi
The Dutch BMX team were out in Stellenbosch for a two week training camp to escape the winter back home in Europe and we were fortunate enough to have them out in Kayamandi for a few hours this last weekend to give the kids a little bit of an exhibition as well as show some of the hard work that must happen in training to take you right to the top.
Head coach Bas de Bever started out by going through some of the basic stretching and strength workouts to get them warmed up…
…and then it was on to the track. The Songo riders split up in to groups and got some more individual input on getting out of the start blocks effectively, proper cornering and their favourite for the day…jumps!
The big laughs for the day came right at the end when one of the Dutch riders was prepared to lie down on one of the table tops and let a rider jump over him…they all wanted a shot at it but just one of the Songo boys pulled off a successful jump and that was the end of it.
Thanks again to Bas and his team for their time, enthusiasm and willingness to come and join us out at the track for the day. It was real inspiration for the Songo.info riders in being able to see first hand what levels can be reached in the future.
