The Boekelse Vlammers flame on New Year's night
Boekelse Vlammers flame on New Year's night: 'Landing in the dark on the street is especially difficult' Until recently, jumping through a flaming hoop was reserved for lions and tigers. In Boekel they do that with off-road motorcycles!
For the men of off-road club De Vlammers it is a piece of cake. At least that's how they want to make it appear. Still, just to be sure, they will practice on the Boekel industrial estate this afternoon. Because tonight the show has to go off without a hitch. The center will be closed off with crush barriers, and on the roundabout near the church there will be an eight-meter wooden ramp and a hoop of five meters in diameter, wrapped in jute and soaked in oil. It burns for twenty minutes to half an hour. During that time, about fifteen motorcyclists jump through at high speed.
