First Stop Of Inaugural FEST Series Goes Off!

The new FEST Series launched this past week in the storied freeride mecca of Kamloops, British Columbia, where years ago OGs like Wade Simmons got the sport going skidding down vertical ridgelines of scree and launching sketchy cliffs, with the FEST contest tailored towards a rider-driven jam format on some of the biggest machine-built jump lines ever put together. These goliaths would have crushed a regular old slopestyle bike, with that pants-shitting stepdown in particular warranting full use of the big boy dual-crown bikes. Let's just say you'll be glad you were only sharing their point of view through your computer screen.
