HAKUBA STOMP! FEST

The first HAKUBA STOMP! FEST took place in Hakuba on September 19–20, bringing mountain biking, BMX, skateboarding and Strider riding together for a two-day action sports event. Saturday centred around competition, with MTB featuring across high jump, pump track speed and slopestyle, alongside BMX, skateboarding and categories for younger Strider riders. Music, food and an evening program added to the weekend beyond the competition itself.

Sunday shifted the focus towards riding together, with the Community Ride bringing competitors and invited riders back for a more relaxed session. By putting different disciplines and generations of riders together in one event, STOMP! FEST added something different to Hakuba’s summer riding calendar — combining competition with progression, participation and the wider riding community.
