Event Schedule continued
Sunday 30th AprilNo doubt suffering from the night you'll need to drag your ass up next morning for round about 10:30 to register for Sundays events.
Sunday is going to be a little different in that we're closing off Lower Cecil Street and getting truck loads of dirt to set up jumps good for BMX and MTB. This event should be pretty spectacular and with a massive crowd expected the atmosphere is going to be first class. At the end of the street the plan is to have a large wall.
Afternoon will see "Get Huck'd" Urban North Shore. Simple biggest huck wins and takes the cash prize(rumours has it to be Eur 150)
Once all this excitment has quietened down its the Streetstlye 4 X Challenge, which will take place on a closed off quayside street and will have some North Shore style features with some big berms and wall rides topped off with nice jump to the finish line. This event 's got something for everyone so whether your a seasoned biker or an old fart...come down give it a go!
Round about 8pm Sunday evening its straight to the big air ramp to challenge the Kayaker's to a dual - biggest trick wins.
9 pm its fireworks time with the prize giving afterwards. For anyone who would like to go further tickets will be on sale for all wanting to catch the Fun Lovin Criminals in the Castle.
Streetstyle Event Schedule
As this is the first year of Riverfest Streetstyle, we've decided we want to leave everyone taking part, spectating and socialising with something to remember from their weekend in Limerick City. So we've put together a programme that will allow everyone who's got a bike or board to take part.....but of course we're also looking to push the people who want to go BIG to JUST DO IT(copyright...hmmmm) so we'll be laying out the red carpet for you guys too. But whats more important to us is that you grab the groove of the festival and come party!!!!
So here whats happening!
Saturday 29th AprilSomebody mentioned a while back that wouldn't it be cool to have an 8ft ramp with a 10 ft tombstone......We thought so too! The ramp will take the focus of Saturday's Streetstyle Events but not to be outdone by various other objects like wall rides, table tops etc which will make up the Streetstyle course. Saturdays event will take place in Arthurs Quay Park in the Centre of the Limerick City and is sure to attract a large crowd.
This Event will feature
BMX Jam,
Trials Demo,
Skate Jam, (featuring The Tubes Skate Team)
http://www.tubes.ie/Registration on the day will open @ 10:30 am
Rush - The PartyLimerick is a top party town and with the Budweiser Global Beats Tour hanging about, the atmosphere is set to go right on into the night. The Rush Party will be kicking off round about 8pm on a boat house island in the middle of the Shannon. The party will combine Bikers, Skaters, Kayakers and those guys on Zap Cats. As part of the Rush Party there's gonna be Extreme Sports DVD Launches and various DJ's.
Sunday to follow!
