Itchy Boots Season 4 Notes

 

In Season 4 Noraly is home for the winter so she decides to investigate the Dutch Moto Scene by riding on three Ducati bikes, training at race tracks for motocross and flat track and a Dutch police department, and such things. Sounds kind of dreadful if you aren't into motorcycles, but she made it entertaining and it was a neat thing for her to do while stuck in The Netherlands in late 2020 as the pandemic still had many borders shut.

She mentioned in a Live Chat that she really wanted to go to a place where she could overland with Rhonin, but with some countries open and others not, she was having trouble figuring out where to go next.  In the meantime . . .

Note: all of these take place in The Netherlands except for the last episode in this series.

February 23

watched episodes 1-2, plus a Live Chat from back then ; I enjoyed seeing her talk to the children at the race track where they train

February 24

watched episodes 3-5 which included training on trial bikes, motocross, and a race with twelve year old Jayson

February 25

watched episodes 6-7 which included training and races at a flat track (mud flying onto her face) and a ride on an electric motorcycle as she followed a park ranger through the natural preserve; I enjoyed seeing the cows, sheep, trees, and views here

We also watched the Christmas Special which doesn't have an episode designation, but was enjoyable as Noraly shopped at the Dutch version of a dollar store and bought and wrapped many presents which she passed out as she drove around on her motorcycle while wearing a Santa suit. She also dropped off 140 Christmas cards for residents of an elderly-care place. Though she didn't show us a close-up of what she wrote, it was more than a signature of "Merry Christmas! From, Noraly"!

February 26

watched episodes 8-10 which included two episodes where Noraly trained with Dutch police who ride motorcycles. That was pretty neat, and Andrew and I thought how weird it was to have a civilian, YouTube star train with police. Wonder if this were a recruitment tool for the Dutch PD!

Episode 10 is the only one in this series to take place outside of The Netherlands. Noraly traveled two and a half hours to Belgium to train with a couple of guys who do Enduro races. That was tough!

From looking at the caption on this video, it seems she had more planned for this series, but more covid lockdowns made further episodes impossible at this time. Thus ends Season 4.
