2014 Daytona Freeride

We must have been asked at least two dozen times “Is this Bike Week for jet-skis?” by passers by on the beach at Daytona while shooting the four days of the Thrust Innovations Daytona Freeride. Typical Daytona in January: daytime high: 73 degrees, small but fun waves and light winds – what’s not to like? Add in about 250 freeriders from around the world… good times for all. While many of the top pro freeriders on the planet are there to do what they do best, event organizer Nick Foederer insists that it is NOT a pro-exclusive event. Check out the video with his take regarding pro and sponsor preference, pretty unique! For more info regarding the Daytona Freeride, check in at daytonafreeride.com
