Now everything is not only of new quality, but it is also an extension. Binie: “All the basic things you want for a skate park can now be seen here. A rail, a ledge, we can skate off the couch, some creative things, but also just the core things. I can explain it all, but For a skateboarder it is well known. It just rides very well. You can ‘flow’ nicely: all the lines connect with each other.”
It immediately benefits the association, and the entire skate scene in Meppel. It has started to bloom again, Binie sees. “Faces that you haven’t seen for a while are coming back. The level is rising very quickly. Skaters from outside come to have a look. Almost every day, skaters from Drenthe and other provinces come to the neighborhoods to see how things have turned out. “
And a lot of children use the track. “It’s very nice to see how popular it is,” says Krol. “It also actually shows how little there is to do for children in the neighborhood, when you see how this is exploding like this. It’s beautiful.”
