2020 has been a rather difficult year for events with lots of cancellations due to the current Covid-19 situation and many restrictions on everything from music and cultural to sporting events. Therefore we are very grateful to have been granted permission to hold at least one Ride Further Tour contest this year: at the BOS Festival in Sérignan, France and we’re very happy to invite you to spend a weekend riding park and dirt in the South of France
with us!

The festival will take place on 22. and 23. of August and will include a UCI park contest as well as a dirt competition, all in a safe outdoor location with Covid-19 health & safety measures in place to guarantee a safe and fun weekend for all participants and visitors. We would love to have you with us for the weekend so here is some info regarding the event and if you have any other questions do not hesitate to call or message us anytime!

CONTEST PROGRAM & FORMAT:

Suffering from communal cabin fever caused by the Covid lock downs, we got the crew together and hit the road as soon as we heard word that cases were declining and restrictions easing. Weary not to venture too far during these uncertain times, we kept close to home and cruised through the desert to the great state or Arizona, aka HaroZona!

You would have no doubt seen a bunch of Jon Tinsley's fabulous video work up to this point, but now we get a dose of him in front of the camera. Jon has an awesome mix of pegless creativity and really sick backwards manual / fastplant variations on display. Really enjoyed this!

UK rider Ben Towle has just made the bump on to the United team and there's no better way to kick things off and thats by building yourself a fresh new bike.

With the exception of a few vert riders, most of the mid-school BMX professionals from the 1990s and early 2000s have moved on from X Games competition. Not Ryan Nyquist though. Ryan started competing at X Games in 1997 and still gets invited. He's not getting invites based on legacy either; he's still progressing his skills on BMX Dirt and Park at a remarkable pace.
