Ride Further Tour 2019 – B.O.S. Festival

August 2, 2019

The Ride Further Tour made a stop at the B.O.S. Festival over in France! Here’s a highlight video jam packed with wild riding that features a ton of familiar faces getting down on the ramps and dirt jumps. Despite some rain, it looks like they caught plenty of sunshine for the contests.

“For the second time the Ride Further Tour took place at the B.O.S. Festival in beautiful Serignan, South France!
We had a pretty great mix of riding styles over to ride the park and legendary dirt spot.
One thing that’s almost certain in South France is great weather but
this time 16 of the best riders were battling not only for UCI but also to “survive” the rain and strong wind… how things change! Nonetheless we were lucky enough to pull it all through and have an amazing time and witnessed some crazy bike riding!

Thanks to everyone at the B.O.S Festival and all the riders!
