Netherlands has flown under the skate radar for years. While Amsterdam usually gets a bit more attention, a lot of people still don’t know that you can take the train and flee the famous canals and cobblestone streets to cross the country in less than 3 hours and skate some modern architecture in Rotterdam, Utrecht or The Hague. In 2021, the Vans Europe crew decided to hop on the train to visit all of these modern spots and check out the city’s local scenes. What started out as film with Jip Koorevaar and Tjerk Oosting, quickly turned out to be more than that. Over the course of a year, the crew captured lots of content, with more skaters joining the party – not only for the skating but also for the animations, photos and music. The video evolved into something bigger than just a part and celebrated the wider Dutch Vans skate family.
