I really want to go to my first tournament but idk how to get there, it's pretty far so I can't do it by bike and
my parents don't want to give me a lift, also my parents said they don't like that I go there...
what should I do?

Not knowing social standards and norms in Belgium, my best suggestion would be to try to find a friend interested in going (or even another tournament-goer) and have them give you a lift.

Of course, if your parents are opposed to it in general, it's a far rougher situation. You could try to discuss reasons you think you should be able to go, or compromise on terms so they'll let you go (and/or give you a ride), but ultimately, while you're a minor (unless Belgium's age distinction is different), you don't have a ton of power over the situation.
