Fest Session: A New Frontier Of Freeride

Always pushing the boundaries of freeride, the creators and riders of the FEST series have pulled off a new feat. They have produced the first in a series of FEST Sessions at the indomitable BikePark Ferme in Malmedy, Belgium. The aim was to explore all aspects of freeride, hitting massive jumps, throw down insane tricks and produce some insane heavy metal highlights!

With only a handful of the craziest riders invited on the new project, Sam Reynolds was leading the pack and bringing along the 16-year-old South African sender Ike Klaassen. Ike, from Stellenbosch, hit the full Fest line for the first time, setting the bar at an unprecedented level for such a young gun.

The Fest Series has gained popularity worldwide by pushing freeride forward throughout the years. The crew is expanding their concept by presenting a new format in the Fest Sessions, which will take a back-to-basics approach by exploring all aspects of freeriding. With the simple goal of enjoying sessions with friends, this format will take place on big jumps, in bike parks and throughout the backcountry. It brings a wide variety of terrain to the world’s best and most stylish Freeriders.

“Fest was being labelled 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 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.
