During his visit on the island Daniel wanted to head back to Gozo to ride once again the famous 'natural BMX park' at Reqqa Point in Zebbug. "Five years ago I travelled to Gozo for the first time to ride the legendary rock ramps," he said. "Somehow I was never satisfied with what I did that time. So coming back- five years later and doing what I want- ed to do feels like a closing chapter." Daniel Wedemeijer in Gozo PHOTOGRAPHY BY MPC PHOTOGRAPHY
