On December 10 I was invited to sports-cafe in my hometown of Zwolle where local sport-heroes were celebrated. The 2025 edition of the Dutch magazine – “Gouden Sportkoers”was also launched. In the magazine I’m featured in a spread on pages 36-37.
Recently I joined German team RideOne. I’m really grateful for this opportunity and I hope that I will be a worthy member of the team. I’m looking forward to represent RideOne at competitions in the adult female category and to learn new things. It still feels a bit unreal to be a part of RideOne.
Coupe de France de Monocycle (CFM) is always a great competition as it offers a lot of different unicycle disciplines. This year I competed in Trials, Street and Flat. And because we were there anyways, I also decided to join slalom, long- and high jump, uphill and cross-country.
Time for the Belgian Urban Unicycle Championships 2025, or BUC 2025 as we call it. The 5th edition, so a special one. I really enjoyed seeing everyone. I had a lot of fun and the vibe was as usual amazing in the famous HAL5. I was in my zone and scored amazing results.
Really nice interview (in Dutch) in the online sports-magazine of my hometown Zwolle.
As some of you already know, a few weeks ago I decided to leave Unicycle Forever Team. I’ve had an amazing (almost) three years, full of learning, fun, and wonderful friendships. I’m very thankful to Roos and the team for all the help and the great times.
It was my first time there and I enjoyed it a lot. The obstacles seemed really hard at first, and it really pushed me out of my comfort zone. But I ended up landing a lot more than I expected! I had some awesome GUC Trials 2025!
This weekend we had a two-day UF training-camp in Duisburg. We got there on Friday and rode flatland together with some friends from team RideOne. We rode at a really nice spot, on the grounds of a closeddown steel-factory. I relanded my inflip and started working on some new tricks.
The Extreme Unicycle Championships (EUC) were held in Miskolc in Hungary this year. I had an amazing time and am very, very happy with my results. Overall it was super fun. Miskolc – Factory Arena The Factory Arena is an amazing location for any Urban-sport.
The German Unicycle Championships of 2025 were so, so nice. I learned new things in the workshops and had a lot of fun in the competitions. I also really enjoyed spending time with my friends, my teammates of Unicycle Forever and seeing so many unicyclists in one place again!
Rode my first 10K race in Denmark, organised by Jægerspris Cykelartister at Jægerspris in Sjælland (Zealand or Zeeland as it’s called in Dutch). Denmark is a cool country, with awesome people, meaning that if you throw in a unicycle it almost like paradise. The weather was really lovely. In all a very cool trip.
The great Lisanne Boer unicycled 24 hours continuously to raise money for Rene Kids Centre She broke the world record for female and achieved a total distance of 412 kms. Just imagine that: unicycling over 400 kms on your trusty 36″, in one full day, without sleep. Amazing achievement by an amazing athlete.
On June 29 you can enjoy performances in unique locations throughout the Netherlands. Can be in someone’s living room or garden, in a theater or at a historic location. With TaleSpinners we’ll be playing our festival-show Raw Stoked at the most beautiful playground the city of Zwolle has to offer: Speeltuin Assendorp.
The Dutch unicycle road championships (NKE) were a lot of fun. For the first time in years we competed on a different track. The “Pijnenburg Parcours” in Tilburg is really nice. Is part of a huge sport-park in a very green natural area with streams and such. Really nice.
With the TaleSpinners we will be playing our 30 minute festival gig Raw Stoked in the beautiful Dutch city of Gouda. Yes, that’s the city that gave the world the famous Gouda Cheese. Festival ‘Gouda Leeft’ is part of ‘De Goudse Popweek’. Saturday June 28 you will find us at:
I was invited to play a halftime unicycle show during the basketbal play offs at the Landstede sportscenter in Zwolle, The Netherlands. It was an awesome experience to be able to perform Hammertime for such a big growd in a truly amazing atmosphere. Thanks Hammers and see you next season!
Will be performing the halftime-show on my unicycle during the basketbal play off’s in Zwolle, The Netherlands. I have named it Hammertime as a tribute to my hosts. It took quite some designing to get my show right, as the Landstede Sportcenter is pretty big. I had to include unicycle-basketball of course.
So, we played our first festival-show and it was quite an experience. I really mean that: we learned a lot. We had lots of fun, it was very educational and very cool. Normally in theaters We normally play theaters, meaning that we more or less have the stage for our selves.
As from today – somewhere last week actually – we will be playing our performances under the artist name ‘TaleSpinners’. We tell stories by spinning a unicycle, so it makes total sense. We even have a website for TaleSpinners, so it’s getting serious.
Played STOKED! at Theater Joseph Wresinski Cultuur Stichting in my hometown of Zwolle (NL). Had been in bed for over a week with a harsh flue and thus had little rehearsal-time. Was quite anxious because of it, but it went reasonably well.
