Rock A Rail Report

The first editon of the Rock A Rail in The Hague was a rail jam that will make many other jams step up their set-up. For a first time event, they came correct! The 5-rail super stairset setup built by Gerben Verweij and his GV Constructions crew was really impressive and the stacked rider line-up pounded tricks late into the night. Props to the riders and organizers! Check out some black and white photos by our special correspondent Boi Reuter.
