This weekend we will be taking the long drive up to Santa Pod Raceway to support and trade at X-FESTival. I seriously cannot wait even if camping is actually my worst nightmare, especially when its going to be an absolute mud-bath thanks to the wettest April in a decade..
We have a small promotional stand were we will be selling all CrucialBMX, The Come Up and OSS goodies and a few end of the line/last years BMX products heavily discounted. I'm afraid we will not have a massive stand like we do at closer to home festivals as its just too far to lug it all, we will be concentrating on making sure we are known in the area and pushing the website/blog.
We have 5 Crucial Riders entering in the BMX competition, across all the different disciplines: Cam Hardy, Cappy Smith, MJ and Vince Mayne will be representing us!
Please get involved and get to Santa Pod Raceway this weekend for a fun time!
"XFest at Santa Pod Raceway is rapidly approaching on the 5th-7th May 2012. The rider lists have just been released and we have a massive line up.
In all Pro competitions, cash prizes are being awarded to the top 10 riders and this is clearly enough to tempt the big guys into the competition. Similarly in the amateur competitions, product prizes will be awarded to the top 10 finishers. We have Riders from the UK, Germany, Switzerland, USA, Australia and more. This truly is a global gathering of the worlds best riders.
Scoot magazine are running things in the Scooter competition taking place on the specially constructed Scooter course throughout Saturday and Sunday. All of the big UK teams are on the rider list, this is set to be the mother of all competitions in the scooting world. Riders signed up include Dakota Scheutz, Terry Price, Rob Wasp, Ryan Mcnamara and loads more. The Scoot Mag riders themselves (Lewis Williams, Danny Roberts, Ollie Luton) do not appear on the rider lists as they are forming the juding panel along with Terry Price from Madd. On Monday things switch over to the Razor Global Domination tour for the first stop on their UK series.
The line-up for the BMX Park competition includes, Mark Webb, Pat Casey, Todd Meyn, Harry Main and more, but who will come out on top?
BMX Street Dollar Jam will be taking place on the street course with rails, flat banks, steps and other unseen obstacles this really is a course with a difference designed to challenge the riders. Riders include Bruno Hoffman, Ryan Elcock, Ben Lewis, Scott Ditchburn and a whole host of others.
BMX Dirt features round 1 of the Lords of Dirt competition and with the massive course laid out this is going to be one to watch. Riders have travelled Internationally to take part with Corey Nastazio, Patrick Giumez, Rob Darden, TJ Ellis and Pat Casey amongst others competing with our own home grown heros such as Ben Wallace and Jack Marchant.
The Mountain Bike Dirt Competition also has a big name attached to it in the form of the King of Dirt Competition. This is the only Mountain Bike Competition worth following and we have some huge names lined up to match the huge courses we have in place. It’s going to be down to the bravest of the brave to ride these courses and pull off some monster tricks. Riders include Andreu Lacondeguy, Mike Montgomery, Sam Pilgrim and loads more.
Inline Skate forms stage 2 of the Laced series which is set to be the UK’s biggest rolling blading event this year. With competitions in both the Park and Street disciplines riders are going to be pushed to their limits with a mixture of familiar and unfamiliar obstacles alike. Included in the massive line up of riders are Claudio Bohli, Taylor Latouche, Chaz Sands and more! We have even seen the late addition of the girls competition.
Amateur Skateboard competitions are going ahead but the Pro comp has been swapped for some Pro Rider displays. Be sure to check this out.
Throw in the Monster Truck Displays, The FireForce 3 Jet Funny Car, a freestyle stunt rider competition (street motorbikes), Run What Ya Brung, Drift What Ya Brung Sessions, Live Music across 2 arenas including Big Top Marquee with a HUGE line ups, fun fair and loads more and this is a mix you will not want to miss.
