Almost two years ago, ish, I meet up with a guy practising his skills on a tiny bmx bike, on the central station of Utrecht, Hoog Catherijne. His name, Sietse van Berkel. As a kid, I did some cycling too on these tiny bikes, but in competition mode, on a track with 7 competitors and trying not to be last. I was a kind of a wimp, because I couldn't make wheelies for example, afraid to break a bone. Always had so much respect in the freestyle and skate scene. The determination to get the trick done. Failure is just a part of not giving up, that's why I believe those guys, like Sietse are underrated for their sportmanship ! I follow on instagramSietse since the day I met him. Never had the chance to meet him up again in competition, but that day will hopefully come soon!
After I red the competition rules of this round, I wrote him, what he thought about this weird occassion for the admiration from a fan. He was very likely to help and came with a couple of sponsors he would like to see. Because without them, it's hard to compete on world title level. I made two liveries for him.
The Ford Raptor and this Xbow, with two different motivations. the Raptor because it could be the perfect demo car, throwing the bike in the back and taking merchandise with him from his sponsors. The X-bow was for me the perfect 'bmx' car in GTsport, light, tricky and lots of fun to doing stunts with it ! In the end I choose the Xbow for the better livery and the Raptor will follow later in my media gallery and maybe on Sietse's insta?
You never know
It was really easy to choose the right colours, just the same as his latest bmx bike + orange grips !
The decals I made for this livery, are uploaded and ready to grab, just search for my name (same as here) or #sietse(vanberkel) and #bmx and you will find it ! The car itself will be ready for download too, tomorrow !
