"Freeriders have to leave Sterrebeek's Huntsmanbos
Sterbike Trails is in danger of disappearing in Zaventem. This is a location for freeriders, a spectacular form of mountain bike. For ten years, the owner of the Huntsmanbos, the eponymous chemical company, has tolerated the trails. But Natuur en Bos would rather see athletes disappear from the forest.
Sterbike Trails was created about ten years ago. Three friends discovered a motocross track in the Huntsman Forest and turned it into a paradise for freeriders. But after a visit by a nature and forest inspector, Sterbike Trails contacted the owner of the site. They hoped to find a sustainable, constructive solution together to regularize the sites.
“But we have received a very harsh answer from the Nature and Forest Agency. That this site is habitat-worthy and that we disturb the animals with our noise, which we believe is inconsistent with reality, ”says Axel Van Lombeek. “We are here next to the E40, so there is some noise here. We did a lot of cleaning up in this forest, because there was a lot of pollution here, and we have respect for nature. If it is no longer allowed here, we wonder where else? "

in the meanwhile they already started destroying the dirt trails named #deathshoveltrails

Thanks for everyone who made this place like it was! and that al of us got the chance to ride this place! this place made me love freeride/mtb so much!
