It’s nearing the end of summer, 2022 in the northern hemisphere—and this year, so far, has been filled with a sort of wild energy. Take Zwarte Cross 2022—a (mostly) annual motocross festival in the Netherlands.
The event apparently started back in 1997, as a comparatively small affair. It hosted maybe 1,000 people, a bunch of bikes, an afterparty (and live music, of course), and those who attended had a great time. They told their friends. Next year, it got bigger—and so on, and so on, until the pandemic pause. Fast-forward to 2022, and the most recent one hosted over 200,000 people. Same spirit, only much bigger, and with multiple mad classes of motorbikes (and other vehicles) out on the MX course.
