November 21, 2016 (MANILA, Philippines)
– The PhilBike Expo, the only international-standard trade and consumer cycling
show in the Philippines, returns for its third annual convention this November.
The event kicks off on Nov. 25 and allows cycling enthusiasts’ access to the
most diverse range of local and international products and demonstrations.
Organized by Phil-Bike
Convention Inc., the event has seen over 17,000 enthusiasts pack convention
centers for two years.
To mark its third year
anniversary, this year’s expo shall be headlined by a few of the best in the
sport today:
Regarded as one of the
biggest names in the bike trail world scene, “The Magician” Kenny Belaey is a
24-year veteran of the sport. Since his debut in 1992, Belaey has brought the
sport to the mainstream as a constant innovator and professional. He is the
record holder of the most medals won at the World Cup and World Championships.
His latest video project, “Balance”, saw him crossing a slackline on the top of
the French Alps, a feat that had yet to be accomplished by any other biker
before him.
The Superkids are Japanese
prodigies made up of Yu Shoji (14) and Takumi Isogai (15). This dynamic duo has
been making a name in the Flatland scene with their cutting edge and flair for
pushing innovation to its limits. Shoji is the first place winner of the 2015 Voodoo
Jam and the second runner-up for the 2014 FlatArk Novice. Isogai was the first
place winner of the 2014 FlatArk Expert and came in at eighth place for the
2016 FlatDev Pro.
Accompanying the
Superkids is their mentor, Viki Gómez, who is returning to PhilBike for the
second year in a row. Hailed as one of the best in the world, the 35-year-old
Spaniard is known for his constant creation of new tricks that combine flow and
rhythm and surpassing the limits of imagination. The Red Bull athlete is a
three-time Champion of the Flatland World Circuit Series, as well as a three-time
Red Bull Circle of Balance Champion. He is also a two-time winner of the
European X-Games.
Rounding out this
incredible line-up is a special, one-day only performance from Canadian,
Geoff Gulevich. With a
career that started at the age of 12, the Rocky Mountain Bicycle ambassador is
among the best in his field, combining passion with a strong sense of perseverance
that sets him apart from his peers. He is the fourth runner-up for Jumpship
2011, and came in fifth for both the Red Bull Rampage 2010 and the Crankworx
Joyride 2011.
The event will bring
together over 100 brands from the world of cycling and fitness, giving
enthusiasts and first-timers alike, the chance to check out the very best and
latest that the industry has to offer.
To complement these brands, the PhilBike Expo offers unique, indoor
interactive features that will get the adrenaline flowing.
