Idiots Try

We created a show which is all about trying new activities around Leeuwarden, personally tried out by our lovely idiots (how we call our contestants). Each idiot, with zero skills, will try to master a challenge with the help of an expert! To make everything a little more challenging, each idiot gets sabotaged with a gag. Prepare yourself for a humorous, entertaining series and see our idiots suffer.

Everybody dances, whether it’s in a club full of people or alone in your shower and in neither of those situations does it matter how good you are at it.

This week’s expert Kyara is teaching our idiot some basic and some more intricate dance moves ending in a onetime only performance, including a twist of course.

Finding a sport that really meets your interests can be very hard. One sport that will get you out of your house, getting some fresh air, be part of a cool community and meet lots of new people is skateboarding.

Just like in any other sport, failing is what it takes to improve. So, if you are ever intimidated to try out a new sport just watch this episode and remind yourself, that succeeding is not the only thing that matters.
