Netherlands – Forward Motion, R4 Youth – Men

Team Forward Motion is a group of enthusiastic students with a love for outdoor activities and whitewater. In March 2012 it was decided to establish a rafting team. The reason they formed this team is to participate the National Championships rafting.

The enthusiasm grew because of some workouts and they decided to do some more competitions than the National Championships. One thing led to another and then you`re suddenly registered in the Youth WRC in the Czech Republic. Dutch open series #1 = First place youth; Dutch open series #2 = fourth place men R4 + R6. Full team list
