BMX Dirt Course – Nass Festival 2016 – 2018

Overview

Vision Nine, event organiser of NASS Action Sports and Music Festival, was looking to step up the course for the 2016 festival, and contacted Gorilla to deliver the project. We formed a partnership with Kye Forte, with whom we had worked with previously on Red Bull’s 2008 Empire of Dirt event, and together successfully pitched and produced all aspects of the NASS BMX Dirt Arena. Since then we have been back each year to build and improve the course.
