Early January I went to the Ijsbeeldenfestival. That translates to: Ice-sculpture festival. At the festival you walk through a hall with a temperature of -10º celsius, while looking at ice sculptures displayed on both sides. Making it a one way corridor. Each year has a different theme, and this year it was myths. Mostly Greek […]

Another batch of art-boxes has arrived in Ukraine. This time in a hospital where they treat children of all ages. The kids have physical war-injuries and are in need of special care. They stay in the hospital for a longer period of time, so these Art-Boxes will help them through those endless days of hoping

Unicycling for me is about the community. Compared to football, we are only with a few. I can’t think of anything better than unicycling with other unicyclists. The fun together, helping each other and the learning by doing. To me it’s absolutely the best thing in the world. That’s why I try to visit as

Saturday April 13 is the traditional training-event for the Dutch Championship of Unicycling (NKE: Nederlands Kampioenschappen Eenwieleren). The Dutch Championship focuses on track-disciplines like the 100m, 800m, 5km and 10km. But there is also slalom, 50m 1 foot, 10m slow and long jump. I participated for the first time in 2021 (photo) and had a
Dutch TV visited for an interview and an overview of tricks. Below is a 4.5 minute (Dutch language) item on RTV Oost, which is the big public broadcasting organisation for the Northeast of The Netherlands.

Literally on the day that we received the equipment (lights and such) for that tour, we woke up with the news that Russia

As The Netherlands is really flat we don’t have a Muni-culture. Most unicyclists from Holland follow the same path I took: you discover the unicycle in a youth-circus and if you like it you start unicycling track. I still do track and I love long distances (10+ kms). But for my first muni experience I

My dad and I have rented a small apartment next to La Candelaria, the vibrant heart of Bogotá. It’s beautiful, yesterday’s pictures were taken there. Our apartment is in the top of a high-rise. It’s very practical. We have a small kitchen, decent bathroom/shower and good beds. It has one window overlooking a part of

So here I am, 9000 kms from home in sunny Colombia. Downtown Bogotá to be more precise. This city is home to 11-and-a-half million people and is in 2024 host of the Latin American Unicycle Championship and Convention. Or the Campeonato y Convención LatinoAmericano de Monociclo as it is known in Spanish. Hello Colombia! It’s
