They came to rave with Fatboy, take stock with Morrissey, croon with the Counting Crows, bounce with Jay-Z, and rock out with Monster Energy Drink - and that they did! Over 100,000 guests were treated to some of the finest BMX and Skate talent during the four-day 02 Wireless Festival in London last weekend (3rd-6th July). The ‘Monster Vert Ramp & Reefer Truck’ area proved the place to be with breathtaking action on the vert ramp, as well as public bar and VIP area to keep the good times flowing! Guests were treated to great BMX talent in
Jimmy Walker and special guest
Jon Taylor – as well as
Jamie Bestwick who stunned crowds with his flawless riding, neon frame and back-to-back tricks;
“We’ve had great weather, great music and great crowds – what more could you ask for” added home-grown talent
Bestwick.
With many new converts to both BMX and Skateboarding over the weekend, people visited in drones to the Monster compound to soak up the electric atmosphere, offset with non-stop
commentary from X-Games presenters
Catfish and
Wingy.
