- By riders for riders, The Fest Series has gained popularity worldwide by pushing freeride
forward with massive jumps, insane tricks and heavy metal highlight edits.
The crew is
expanding their concept by presenting a new format: Fest Sessions.
Fest Sessions take a back
to basics approach by exploring all aspects of freeride. With the simple goal of enjoying
sessions with friends, this format will take place on big jumps, in bikeparks and throughout
the backcountry, bringing a wide variety of terrain to the world’s best and most stylish
freeriders.
“Fest was being labeled as guys who ride big jumps, but that’s only a part of what we love
and we want to highlight all aspects of riding that we are passionate about. For me, Fest
Sessions is going to offer new locations for freeriding and sessions.”
Nico Vink
Fest Sessions kicked off in Malmedy, Belgium with the BikePark Ferme Libert Edition.
Hosted by Nico Vink, the Sessions approach had Nico focusing on building an entire bikepark
and creating a playground for freeriders. By the time the build was complete, BikePark Ferme
Libert boasted a new medium jumpline, an enormous double-sided hip and more hidden
transfers and gaps than there were people to ride them. While riding the big line is always
the cherry on top, Nico knows how wind and weather dependent the world’s biggest jumps
are, and with this new approach there wasn’t going to be a single missed day of riding.
With a warm and calm September week ahead, the Session brought together a scaled-down
crew of 11 riders. They were fortunate enough to get plenty of sessions on the big lines, with
veterans like C Dog and Sam Reynolds pulling massive trains while newcomers Ike Klassen,
Jackson Goldstone and William Robert brought their unique style to the line. Build crew Red
Belge and Kristof Lenssens proved they have just as much fun behind handlebars as they do in
a digger.
Nico Vink, Andreau Lacondeguy, Szymon Godziek and Adolf Silva all showed up to
enjoy endless sessions, a private setting and jumps you can only find in select locations
worldwide.
While the rider list of a Fest Session is undeniably smaller than at a Series event, the result
was exactly what Nico Vink had been looking for:
“The fact that it’s smaller allowed me to spend more time with the people who came from
all over Europe, where in the past we’ve barely had time to chat, hang out and ride. It was
very cool to do that this year.”
Fest is a shared vision for freeride focused on progression through riding bikes, building
bigger jumps and having good times with friends. It exists to create the ultimate freeride
environment by putting riders first and encouraging boundary-pushing.
