This February, Cape Town’s V&A Waterfront will once again play host to the country’s biggest extreme sports lifestyle event, The Hunter’s eXtreme Ultimate X 2013 Festival. The event is taking place at the Gateway Canal at the V&A Waterfront on the 16th February and will showcase the best that extreme sports has to offer from national and international BMX, FMX, SKATE and WAKE boarding champions.
The festival, in its fourth year, expects over 6,000 extreme sports-loving spectators to attend the day-long event in the Mother City. Gates open at 10am and close at 8pm, followed by an extreme concert at on of Cape Town’s hottest nightclub’s The Dragon Room on Harrington Street with top local DJ’s and bands playing into the night. Mike Silver, of experiential marketing partner Stretch, said that this year’s festival would be bigger and better than ever before.
Ultimate X has grown massively both in terms of numbers attending and on site experience. Through a national media campaign in partnership with Hunters eXtreme, the 2013 edition will see mass awareness created about both the event itself and action sports in SA. We expect to smash previous numbers with new features including multiple international riders competing, staging of the inaugural Ultimate X Gamer competition presented by Mountain Dew and the Inner City Muscle Car Show.
This year, Hunter’s eXtreme Ultimate X Festival will be giving back to the community through its Reach for a Dream initiative. The event aims to fulfil the dreams of four extreme sport-loving children from the Reach for a Dream Foundation by giving them and their families a full VIP experience on the day. Check out all your favourite local blogs over the next month for hamper and ticket give-away’s! They will also be doing some cool stuff with #moonlightmass, the crew that rally Capetonians together for a full moon cycle once a month! Oh and there are some fine as bitches down every year, trust me… I have been for the past 3 years 😉
