The history of the EVO Bike Park started with a group of riders who had the idea to create a perfect open-all-year-round spot to ride in France. One with exceptional tracks that were both well shaped and well maintained - just like the Coast Gravity Park in Canada! Thomas Di Giovanni (Photographer & Videographer), Romain Baghe (Pro Freeride Mountain Biker) and Hugo Schoonheere (DH Rider) formed the magnificent trio behind the plan to build a bike park - "we were quickly endeared by their motivation and in fact, as a result, they have since become COMMENCAL riders and we are supporting the project by partnering with the bike park" - COMMENCAL. There are some opportunities that you simply shouldn’t miss and this is one of them!
Remy Metailler: “I really enjoyed myself. These are some of the best tracks I’ve ridden, even compared to Whistler and the Coast Gravity Park. There is an enormous amount of flow and good lines to be had. It was a superb experience and I can’t wait to go back. The park will become the place to go in France and the rest of Europe.”
Remi Thirion: “I have ridden the park and there are some amazing and well shaped tracks. I really liked the (Freeride) track with the jumps and I will be coming back here to train and recommend coming to see how good it is for yourself!”
These two comments already say a lot about the future of this bike park!
A crowdfunding concept has been put into place to help finish off the project and to do it as quickly as possible (scheduled for 2nd half of 2016, TBC), which you can donate to via this link indiegogo.com/projects/evo-bike-park - the three bike park developers offer you the chance to purchase pass packages with values ranging between 20€ and 500€ incorporating riding and uplifts once the park opens. The sooner the funds are collected, the sooner everyone can go and ride the bike park. So, with the crowdfunding system in place, everyone’s a winner!
