Instabangers – Aggy’s Reunion 2016

All the best shots, hot off the 'Gram

Last weekend saw the second stop of the FEST series at AGGY’S REUNION in Kamloops and we have all the hottest action from riders’ social media feeds for you to feast your eyes on.

Aggy’s reunion was the first ever FEST series event back in 2014 and its now back for its third year on Aggy’s Kamloops course. As usual the media crew on-site want to take their time with the edits (they’re always worth the wait) so we have to rely on social media feeds in the meantime. Here’s the very best action from the rain-affected weekend:

Stevie Smith

Steve Smith was not forgotten and all the FEST riders paid tribute to the man who was born, raised and tragically died in the same province as the event.

What a day ! Chain saw salute for the ones we lost right into an insane session ! Thanks Mcgazza and Stevie for opening up the sky's and letting us send it !!! ???? #festseries #aggysreunion

The jumps

The course remained largely the same as previous years with the riders winding through the woods before bursting out into massive hucks in the open.

flagging is up, fences are down. time to cash in some air miles. #festseries #aggysreunion #mostlymentalshuttles #ridekamloops #tourismkamloops #freerideaintfreeifyoupayforgas #standupandpedal #nobradnoride

To give you a sense of scale, here are some ant-sized humans.

It's been way too long since I've been to Kamloops. Stoked to get some riding in soon with the boys and the beginning of #aggysreunion

Pit session (video)

The night before the main event the riders had a session at the local pit. There’s an awful lot of talent in this one short clip.

Not every day you get to watch a huge stack of the worlds best mountain bikers drop in right in front of you. Dreams really do come true! #mtb #aggysreunion @festseries #kamloops #explorekamloops @grahamagassiz @mattyhunter

From Cruz Fest to reunion

Kyle Jameson’s Cruz Fest and Aggy’s Reunion may have totally different atmospheres but that doesn’t stop these two organisers shredding together.
