Invitation: International Old Skool of BMX Reunion & Celebration of 30 years of BMX in Holland and therefore in Europe

The UNIVERSITY of BMX  and ATTRACTIEPARK SLAGHAREN organization of the “International Old Skool of BMX Reunion & Celebration of 30 years of BMX in Holland and therefore in Europe.

Waalre/Slagharen, April 12th 2008.

Dear friends in BMX, Old Skool BMX riders and officials,

30 years ago last month March, I introduced the sport of BMX during an International Moto-Cross event at the “Euro-circuit” in Valkenswaard – Holland. About 8 months later, to be precise October 20th 1978 we formed the Stichting Fietscross Nederland (S.F.N.) and BMX became then an official sport.

We cordially invite Old Skool BMX riders from the period 1978 till 1994 to celebrate the 30 years of existence of the sport of BMX. We will come together and socialize at the location were in 1983 the first outside-USA BMX World Championships took place in Holland at
ATTRACTIEPARK SLAGHAREN (at that time called PONYPARK Slagharen).
At this venue, several years after this Worlds, special designed and prepared BMX TV events were broadcasted Nation wide and among others a European Championship took place as well as 10 European Challenge Cup events, probably well remembered by most of you all.

Besides O.S. riders, also former officials are more then welcome and of course those interested fans/supporters from back then are welcome as well to have a great weekend at the amusement park, socializing, talking history and meeting old friends probably after many years. 
This unique weekend will take place from Friday 3rd till Sunday October 5th 2008. Most of the Old Skool BMX riders do have families themselves now and together with their children these young families can have a great team. There is no better place to have this Reunion and Celebration then at Attractiepark Slagharen.

Wouldn’t it be nice to meet old friends, former competitors and talk about the early days of the sport? Show your children how this sport started out and explaining what their parents mend in the developing of the sport. Besides that, the children can have a great time at the
Amusement park itself.

Just like the old days, a special section of the cottage area has been reserved specially for this happening. Like in the early days, a BMX village will be formed and this is not only at the park itself, but also on the camping-site. The camping-site was a favourite place for many National and International riders and their families.

Because of the celebration 30 years of BMX/Old Skool Reunion, cottages and camping-site locations  will be available at a very special price. Also Attractiepark Slagharen has something to celebrate, ......  its 45 years of existence in 2008.

Regards,  Gerrit Does
