In 2011 the Blanko Foundation organized the first edition of the Rock a Rail, an event where snowboarders are showcasing their rail tricks on various types of rails in the city center of The Hague.
This year the 8th version of Rock a Rail went down on the 7th of December. About 60 riders from all over the world battled each other in three heats. DIDID and GV-constructions again came to a new design of the setup, giving the riders endless possibilities and the crowd even more fun.
