X Fest 2013 at Santa Pod Raceway Saturday 4th to Monday 6th May 2013
X Fest is an extreme sports Festival at Santa Pod Raceway in Northamptonshire with amateur and pro contests for BMX, scooters, in-line skate and skateboard. Featuring park, street, mini ramp and dirt courses with competitions and public sessions, plus live music, fun fair, jet car, stunt bikers, trade village, monster truck and more. Held over the May day bank holiday weekend.
XFest 2013 – wow, what a weekend, sun, cars, bikes and some sick riding from Scooters, BMX’s, Inliners and Skateboarders.
The forecast was good and the gates opened early Saturday morning for the eager campers and those coming in for the open course day to maximise riding time before the competitions kicked off on Sunday. As well as open courses we also had a stop on the Grit Academy tour on the Scooter course giving unsigned riders the opportunity to get signed up and sponsored by Grit Scooters. A huge congrats goes out to our winner Stan Ash who then went on to finish 2nd in the Amateur comp too!
As well as a Park, Street, Scooter course and mini ramp we also had some motor powered machines running for your viewing pleasure including none other than Mark Webb drifting in his awesome S14 and Drew Thornton in the resident monster truck Podzilla! This is on top of the Saturday Night Special taking place on the famous ¼ mile with Straightliners, The Straightliners Stunt Bike Competition and Red Dragon Monster Truck Rides! For those interested in the music the daytime stage was running throughout the day (and weekend) featuring some of the best up and coming bands from around the Country.
Saturday night was all about the Fuelers Bar which played host to the UMU Urban Mashup with DJ Sparky and DJ Small Paul. There was an excellent atmosphere and the crowds were entertained throughout. Sunday night was Dubstep night featuring Harry Shotta and Majistrate and the crowds went mental.
Sunday and Monday were competition days for both the Pro’s and Amateurs. We saw some stunning riding in all disciplines and we must say Well Done to all winners and finalists:
We hope you all enjoyed the event and we’ll see you all back here for XFest 2014 if not before!
