The news broke at the start of the week on the Espace Trial forum: the K-124 Days Festival 2010 would not take place at the trials paradise of Buthiers, as a well established tradition would have it, but at La Tour de Sçay, where course designer and organiser Alain Remy’s club (Bike Trial Franc-Comtois) is based. This will come as a shock to regular K-124 Days attendees… will they still go? K-124 Days traditionally marks the opening of the new season and it is hard to imagine it being any other way. All of the big riders come to ‘take their marks’ before the comp season proper gets under way. However, it was the amazing venue of Buthiers that guaranteed in part the great success of the event which has grown and grown since its first edition in March 2000.
Enough nostalgia… K-124 explain to us the reasons for this change of venue for 2010: It seems that they are preparing something even bigger than everything that we have seen before and that will give more space to the other disciplines present alongside trials at the festival; flatland, dirt and new for 2010, downhill! And the new site, which international BIU regulars will know well (it was the venue for the 2008 BIU World Championships) is great for trials, being made up of superb, technical rocks. Click on the Photo by Sergio (top right) to see what the venue looks like… There’s no doubt that Alain Remy, working from home this time, will come up with some monstrous sections!
K-124 Days 2010: The next stage!
The official K-124 press release about the tenth K-124 Days:
For the tenth annual K-124 Days festival, we have decided to look to the future.
This will manifest itself firstly in a change of venue. The disciplines present at K-124 Days 2010 require a more extreme terrain.
We have therefore decided to move K-124 days to a more appropriate venue.
The event will take place at la Tour de Sçay, near Besançon.
This choice has been made for the following reasons:
a long and well established relationship between the local club and K-124.
This year another major change will be made:
K-124 Days 2009 Flash-back!
A look back at the 9th edition of the K-124 Days festival, was more intense than ever…
The 2009 season got off to a great start with an exceptionally intense K-124 Days. Over the two days spectators witnessed one of the most challenging and passionate competitions ever organised. For those of you not lucky enough to be there, Tribal Zine brought you day to day coverage of this major event in the trials calendar, with the first pictures of the brand new Sky 26” bikes which were officially unveiled at the festival (Presentation of the Koxx Sky 26" 2009), followed by a best-of photo gallery and results the day after the competitions (K-124 Days 2009 – Day 1 & The K-124 Days 2009 Final).
Tribal Zine also brought you THE official K-124 Days video, filmed using three HD cameras (Marcus Gelhard, Nicolas Ollier and Nicolas Marsac) fitted with steadycam equipment and which features all of the best moments of the weekend (K-124 Days 2009 by Tribal Zine)! This fantastic multicamera HD video allows us to relive this magical weekend in all its intensity and from every angle. You will see the first video footage of this year’s famous Paris street session, led this year by Benito Ros. Next, it’s off to Buthiers for the K-124 Days proper. The shots are magnificent; the editing is very professional and dynamic. Between the footage of the two days of competition the two superhuman riders, Vincent Hermance and Gilles Coustellier give us their opinions on the new Super-Elite category, on the never-before-seen level of difficulty, their new bikes (the first Sky prototypes) and admit to suffering from stress, like all of us mere mortals… 18 minutes of pure trials pleasure, not to be missed! We cannot recommend enough that you download the original file from Vimeo to watch it in its original resolution.
