You guys uh.... ever jump the dikes? Or go muddin' in the polders?
It is best not to jump dikes they tend to get upset with you - you're quite likely to get a good old kick between the legs (ha ha)...

The Dutch tend not to have many sports that interfere too much with "the nature" as they call it - there isn't all that much of it left here. They are really keen on pimping (much like most of the world) and there is a seriously dedicated tractor pulling culture outside of the major cities. There's a fair amount of arsing about with water here but that tends to involve jumping in and out of canals. The best thing associated with canals in Amsterdam is drunk people throwing those stupid little smart cars in the drink. You only need four drunk blokes to pick 'em up and chuck 'em over the railings...
