What handcycling has brought into my life.

It gives me the same feeling I used to get from running long distances back in the day.

Honestly, it gives me the same feeling I used to get from running long distances back in the day.

It’s hard to explain, but when I’m out there, things kind of speed up and slow down at the same time. My thoughts start making sense again. My head gets clear. There’s something really meditative about the cadence, the rhythm, the vastness of being outside for hours.

And physically, it just makes me feel stronger. More active. I notice that everything else in life becomes easier too.

What I also love is that no matter the weather, I’ll still go out. Especially when the conditions are horrible. Rain, wind, empty roads… that’s when I feel most alive.

Sometimes I ride with other people and get to share that passion, and other times I go alone just for the feeling of independence. Being able to fully do things by yourself, but also participate with others, that’s incredibly important to me.

And yeah… I also like doing slightly crazy stuff. Like cycling 215 kilometers non stop, just to see where my mental and physical edge is.

Haven’t found it yet though. So I guess the search continues.

Always moving forward.

Five years after my accident, I took another step yesterday. I took a photo while standing.

It sounds simple. But when you know, you know.

Standing and “walking” again already requires full focus and concentration. Every movement demands attention. Adding something extra, like holding a camera and taking a photo, suddenly turns a simple action into a real challenge. Things that once felt automatic are no longer obvious. A small shift can throw me completely out of balance.

Every year during the Wings for Life World Run , I’ve tried to take on a new challenge.
From rolling…
to walking during…
to walking further…
to combining movement with photography…
to becoming part of the photography team.

And yesterday became another milestone: taking a photo while standing for the first time since my accident.

This progress has been developing through my therapy at , where I’ve been training constantly and lately with electrostimulation of my spine. It has improved my stability strength, grip strength, and overall connection with my body. Small progress on paper but life-changing progress in reality.

That’s exactly why research matters.
That’s why we raise money through Wings for Life World Run.

Because progress changes lives.

Thank you , and for creating opportunities like this. For showing what life is really about: having goals, being part of something bigger than yourself, and continuing to move forward with purpose.

Slipping, sliding, dreaming.

Summer is knocking on the door. Soon, life will be all about dirt and long days of trail riding again.

For now, slowing down and taking a moment to look back on an incredible winter season.

What a day! Bringing people together and creating real connection during this year’s MTB Summit, with adaptive mountain biking at the center of it all.

We had the chance to share what AMBI (Adaptive Mountain Bike Initiative) stands for, where we’re heading, and why it matters. I also got to tell my own story, how it all started and what keeps me moving forward.

If I had to capture it in one word: FREEDOM.
 And more importantly, sharing that freedom. Because I truly believe it should be there for everyone.

The real moment came after the talks, out on the trail. That’s where it became obvious: fun and joy don’t depend on having two or three wheels. It’s something we experience together.

Big thanks to for bringing everyone together.
Marc van den Tweel and for supporting AMBI as ambassadors. Troy Corsen from .nl for believing in what we do and integrating our system. Jolanda and Myron for kicking things off in and  And to for hosting.

This is just the beginning.

Wat een dag! Mensen samenbrengen en echte verbinding creëren tijdens de MTB Summit van dit jaar, met adaptive mountainbiken als centraal thema.

We kregen de kans om te delen waar AMBI (Adaptive Mountain Bike Initiative) voor staat, waar we naartoe werken en waarom het belangrijk is. Ik mocht ook mijn eigen verhaal vertellen, hoe het allemaal begon en wat mijn drive is om door te blijven gaan.

Als ik het in één woord moet vangen: VRIJHEID.
 En nog belangrijker, het delen van die vrijheid. Want naar mijn mening is die er voor iedereen is.

Het echte moment kwam na de presentaties, buiten op de trail. Daar werd het duidelijk: plezier en fun hangen niet af van twee of drie wielen. Het is iets wat we samen beleven. 
Dit is nog maar het begin.

Somewhere between riding, waiting, freezing, and just being there… Documenting more than just snow.

Golden light finds its way, even in the coldest places. Thank you Montgenèvre for delivering.

The view never repeats itself.

Here’s a small gallery from a place I love.

Same location. Different days. Different conditions. Different framing.

Proof that you don’t need a new place, just new light.

Which slide would you keep?

5 Years.

Progression became an everyday thing, usually as a question in conversations about how things are going. Never giving up. Pushing boundaries. Life is always going up and down. For people in a similar situation, this might sound familiar. Almost cliché.

But after a spinal cord injury, those words are not just words anymore. They became physical and real.

It’s been five years now since my accident. Sometimes that feels like a lifetime. Other times it feels like I’m only at the beginning of something new. Still learning, still exploring what’s possible and how it’s been done. I don’t really know where I’m heading anymore. I’m not even sure if that matters.

What I do know is that I love being challenged. I love raw, rugged terrain, bad weather, hard obstacles. The kind that ask for a certain dedication. No shortcuts or easy paths. Only movement, trial and error in the moment.

Today I’m scrolling back through my photos, realizing how many moments have passed. Yes, I can compare them with before, and they look tiny, maybe not even there. But they are much bigger than I think. Progress is never about getting back. It’s about learning how to move forward when the path has changed completely. About negotiating instead of conquering. About trusting others, listening to my body, and understanding that discomfort isn’t failure. It’s useful information.

I’m in places I thought I’d never come to again. Every meter up is earned. Every pause teaches me something new. The journey matters because it has to. You can’t skip it, and you can’t fake it.

Maybe progression, for me, is this: moving with intention. Finding meaning in the challenge, even when the direction isn’t clear.

Here are some highlights. Too many moments to choose from and many more to come.

Some frames from last year that quietly proved a point: I need to take the Fuji GA645 out more.

There’s something about this little (not so little) medium format point-and-shoot. Effortless, honest, no overthinking. Just seeing.

I didn’t expect much when I sent the rolls to . The film had been sitting on my shelf for years, well past its expiration date. But somehow, it held on. So did the moments.

Makes me want to go out more, shoot slower, and trust the process again.

Last year, I took the trip of a lifetime. My first time this far up in the Nordic landscapes. A place I had never seen, never felt, never photographed before. And damn, it did something to me.

Not being there as a photographer felt unusual at first, seeing moments I wanted to capture everywhere. But stepping into a different role challenged my mind in new ways, and it felt good. A new chapter.

I do miss that magic sound of my shutter every day, that ‘click’ followed by a breath of silence.

My role now is much more focused on the bigger picture. But once in a while, I get to just capture. No rules, no brief, no pressure. And those moments become the ones that stay with me.

These are a few of my favorites from that trip. Raw, unplanned, without purpose, yet full of feeling. The kind that set my mind free.
