Video: Flat Out Days 2020 Build Progress by battcrew

Words: Enej Vitrih // Video & Photography: Klemen Humar //

Flat Out Days is the Slovenian equivalent of the Fest series. Batt Crew started the events in 2017 with the first and biggest jump line in Slovenia, hoping to make an event from riders for riders and the thing caught on quickly! The hype around the last iteration of the event was insane and it attracted a great crowd of bikers and nonbikers.

Check out the build progress in this video, where Jan Perše with the crew will take you through the new line!

The largest MTB construction site in the country

But the 2020 event will be a huge step up. Batt Crew teamed with MTB trail center Kočevje, in the heart of Slovenian bear country, and started moving dirt in march, just after the whole bat-flu craziness.

In about a month the Flat Out Days main line has already gained epic proportions, with a start between bear caves (not literally) and the end with a big rider ejaculation across the main street. The big jumps are strategically placed in the wide-open area of the trail center, so the spectators will have a great view from the warm embrace of the bars with a cold beer.

However, the line is not just a series of monster kickers, but is long and flowing with a milder start and a wild end.
Since MTB trail center Kočevje will be open for everybody during the festival, the crews have been digging an additional new jump line that shares the start with the monster line and then splits, a newly reshaped dirt line, a pump track and much more!

What can you expect in 2020:

MTB Trail Center Kočevje has already 12 km of existing trails and a dirt park next to the forest, which will, of course, be open to all visitors during the event, a pay-per-ride shuttle will be in operation throughout the festival. We will have many smaller entertaining events for just about everyone, from the youngest to the older riders. Even if the party will already go on during the daytime, it will be cranked to 11 in the evening with DJs and cold beer long into the night.

A quick summary of the goodies that await us, on the 2020 event:
