Dutch Championships Slalom

The Dutch Championships Slalom / Giant Slalom 2010 were very exciting games, while the weather was really bad. I captured bronze at the Slalom, and gained fourth place in my category at the Giant Slalom.

Welcome to my Website!
Hello, I am Richio!
I was born in the city of Breda on September 17, 1999. I am following school at 't Kantoor in Belgium.
I was 2½ years old when I was gliding on skis for the first time in my life, and from that moment on I was hooked.
When I was 4 years old, I joined Snowworld Zoetermeer. Later I changed to Snowworld Landgraaf, and these days I ski for SAR (Snowsports Academy Racing).
My big dream is to win in the Dutch Championships, and grow into being send to the Olympics.
I'll need lots of money to be able to do so, for skiing materials and maintenance can be very expensive. Also the travelling expenses hurt a lot, it's all long-distance travelling, and though I searched for mountains with natural snow in the Netherlands, I haven't found any sofar.
Therefore my quest for sponsors.
Bye bye,
Richio.
