“Pro Park
Designed by the UK’s leading park designers, FourOneFour, the Pro Park is by far the biggest sports stage at NASS with street obstacles, huge transitions and of course, The Elvis – the 12ft high ramp that fires athletes up to the roof. Additionally this year’s park course will include more intricate street sections with smooth lines and some massive new gaps as well as half loop for anyone mad enough to give it a run.
For the first time ever, the Pro Park will also host the amateur competitions, giving new athletes the chance to compete on the same runs used by the world’s best. Action fans will witness the IBMXFF World Championships Pro and Amateur competitions, the NASS Skate Pro and Amateur competitions, the NASS Inline Championships and Scooter demos on this course.
The Pro Park has been designed by the UK’s leading park designers, FourOneFour.”
“Dirt
For 2016 and The Worlds, the NASS dirt course has doubled in size. Now with the addition of a gapped step up, riders will have a platform to turn and hit an additional two jumps on a new section of the course. This pro-level course in its entirety will feature no less than five huge jumps designed by Gorilla and built by BMX legend and world champ, Kye Forte.
Due to the sheer size and scale, the course will only be available for pro athletes hosting the IBMXFF World Championships for Dirt and the Dirt Wars Freestyle Mountain Bike competition.”
“Flatland
With the introduction of flatland to NASS, a whole new specially commissioned stage has been designed to offer the smooth, flat terrain required for the spins, balance and flow to perform the tricks and stunts that from the heart of freestyle BMX. The Radlands Arena will host the IBMXFF Flatland World Championships Pro and AM and will double up as the B-Boy stage to create a hub of creativity, passion and imagination at the festival.
”
“Vert
2015 saw the return of Vert to NASS and Tony Hawk set the bar so high it was a no brainer to bring this prized asset back for the Worlds. At 14ft high, it is one of the biggest ramps in Europe and will make an epic stage for the world’s leading BMXers and skaters to show off their awe-inspiring skills. Built to Tony Hawk’s specification by Kings Ramps, headed by UK vert legend Pete King it’s renowned as the best demo ramp in Europe.
The Vert ramp will host the IBMXFF Vert World Championships in Pro and AM, the NASS skateboard Vert Pro and AM competitions and the NASS Inline Vert Pro competition.”
“Public Park
The public park offers a chance for everyone and anyone to get involved and ride at NASS. With street and transition obstacles, this is a favourite hangout spot all weekend for those that want to shred.
Inspired by the individuality and creativity of alternative youth culture, 15,000 music & action sport fans will make their way to the Bath & West Showground for a weekend of action sports, live music and hardcore revelry.
To get involved in the competition, athletes must register their interest early as there are limited spaces in both the professional and amateur divisions, which will be filled on a first come, first serve basis. http://www.nassfestival.com/event-info/athletes”

It’s pretty incredible how crazy skateparks are getting these days. The brand new skatepark in Marignane, France is proof of just how good they’re getting, too. Hit play to get a good look at the park, along with some damn good riding from Charles Tschumy, Kevin Roche, Julien Arnaud and Tanguy Labertrande giving the place a go for the first time. Based off the video, it’s safe to say this place has a TON to offer. Hit play and start drooling…. or planning a trip that direction! Yeah, France! You’re doing it right.
