FUN FUN FUN FEST (FFF Fest) is excited to announce a partnership with Volcom to help redesign and build this year's skate ramp, ride course, and curate the Fest’s 2014 action sports program. Together with local nonprofit Project LOOP, Volcom will help build the FFF Fest skate & ride events this year. The action sports portion of the Fest has seen massive growth in the last few years, with 2013 being the biggest year yet, featuring a vert ramp and street course and an impressive lineup of legendary athletes. This year, the Volcom Skate Team will be pulling off their best tricks in a series of demos and competitions throughout the weekend. Fans will also have the opportunity to interact with their favorite athletes at special meet-and-greets. The Volcom team will be joined by an impressive lineup of additional skateboard and BMX athletes FFF Fest is known for, to be announced soon.
"Skateboarding and music have been an important part of the Volcom DNA since our inception back in 1991. With the launch of our new brand mantra 'True to This,' the timing could not be anymore perfect to be partnering with such an iconic festival to bring this experience to more who share our passion." Ryan Immegart, SVP Global Marketing, Volcom.
With Volcom's new 'True to This' brand vision, the company seeks to build on the foundation of board riding and their tradition of supporting self-expression in sports, art, music and film to connect with the millennial consumer, driven and determined to build a better future. The unique Fun Fun Fun Fest experience of alternative sports, music, comedy, and lifestyle makes this an ideal event for this partnership.
