""Fest Series, for both of us, made a pretty big impact on the career path we wanted to take and the style we wanted to chase," Ryan McNulty says. "Woolley Fest fit that Fest Series mold-more of a gathering than a contest. It made perfect sense because a Fest Series event hadn't happened in North America for six or seven years.""
""After our film shoot last August, we knew the line worked well," Ryan adds. "Nico Vink had always been great to us, inviting us to Fest Series events. Seeing that and knowing that we have the opportunity to give back in that way-how much of a difference that made to us seeing those events when we were teenagers, then being a part of those events-is something that we're super stoked to do this year and actually get it out to people.""
Woolley Fest will take place in Sedro Woolley, south of Bellingham, Washington, on August 30, featuring 40 invited freeride riders, four big jumps, and flow sections between features. Eight hundred tickets are available for spectators, with on-site raffles, food, and beer, and Hesh MTB LLC running the event. The event aims to recreate the Fest Series gathering atmosphere that influenced riders' careers and styles, with Nico Vink cited as an early supporter. A film shoot validated the line, and organizers note that staging the event requires a minimum six-figure budget to cover build, insurance, and other costs.
