Video: The Biggest Jumps from Loosefest

Nov 3, 2014
by Fest Series  



Nico Vink worked hard to build a massive set of jumps in the town of Malmedy at the Bikepark Ferme Libert for his FEST event, which was held July 29th to August 3rd, 2014. Loosefest showcased, not only, the biggest jumps of the 2014 FEST series, but some of the biggest jumps ever cleared on mountain bikes. The beginning of the course had a flowy section with 2 berms, a shark fin into the first 60 foot left side hip, followed by a 70 foot straight jump which lead into the final 75 foot booter that slightly hipped to the right.

The video shows all drone shots from the riders, Trond Hansen, Kurt Sorge, Nico Vink and Andreu Lacondeguy. It was shot by Jan Commelinck from Aeroplay Films and edited by Nick Pescetto.

 Fits so well except I'm disappointed they didn't have Andreu's backie shot from the drone. That would have been epic... well a tad more epic than the rest of those shots because that was all pretty insane.

 I was really looking forward to seeing Lacondeguys backflip run at the end of that video.. All in all that clip is so sick, the heli cam really puts the magnitude of these jumps in perspective. Also, this is one of the only edits that pink floyd is fitting for a mtn bike video. SICK!!
