In the GoPro short, we see why Rotterdam is a compelling spot for riders, and skaters.  Rotterdam was once war torn due to World War II, and cruising around town you will find many monuments commemorating those who fell during the heavy bombardments. Some structures resemble skate park ramps, and many gaps surround the city.  Today, Rotterdam is a mega port, and an ever-changing skyline of modern towers.  Many action sports enthusiasts have taken spawned from this scene, and surely used the city for its advantages.
