From its grassroots beginnings, the festival has evolved spectacularly, embodying the spirit of the mountain biking community — always growing, always changing, and always amassing cyclers and spectators alike for unforgettable moments of fun.
In its early days, the festival focused on bringing local riders together, but as time progressed, it expanded to attract participants and enthusiasts from all corners of the region and beyond. Each year, attendees could see the festival shape-shift and scale new heights, whether through the introduction of new trails, competitive events, or fostering a more inclusive atmosphere that welcomed riders of all ages and skill levels.
