FEST SERIES
Andreu: The other cool thing about
Fest is, it’s not just about the line
where we shoot the event. We go to
a place, see what’s there and what
the locals ride and shred the whole
area while we’re there. Near Aggy’s
there’s a secret spot on a farm with
a big crazy line that we sessioned.
The guy who lives there is the sickest
dude who builds huge stuff. You’d hit
a berm and go through a forest section
with Christmas lights in the trees, then
there’d be this big 60ft gap. It was
insane.
Oh is that the big line you guys
filmed in the train that finishes with
the huge jump over the trees?
Andreu: Yeah dude! That’s the one. It
was a gnarly spot for sure.
So what’s the schedule for the rest
of the year?
Nick: Right now we’re at Royal Hills,
which is a new stop that Nico has built,
but after this all the events will be the
same as last year.
“T he guys who ride
the FMB… talk
sh*t a little bit.
It’s kinda in a fun
joking way, but you
can tell what they’re
really thinking.”

£ The fact the FEST
Series is 100%
rider run, means
that each and every
course in the series
has been built with
heaps of knowledge
and bucket loads of
passion.
Andreu: At the end of July we go to
Norway for Huckfest, then right after
that is Loose Fest, which is the biggest
one of the year. It’s the scary one that
kinda defines what Fest is all about.
The jumps are huge and perfectly built,
there’s metal bands playing, a crowd,
dirt bikes, it’s just a sick vibe.
I can’t wait to see what gets thrown
down there this year. Well, thanks so
much for your time fellas. It’s been
awesome chatting.
Nick: Thanks so much for this, man.
It’s awesome.
Kyle: Good talking to you, bud.
Hopefully we’ll see you at a Fest stop
one day.
Keen to make that happen! Cheers
lads. T
