Thrill-seekers mastering two-wheeled stunts and adrenaline junkies with mad skateboarding skills will dominate the Willard Beach Extreme Sports’ zone at The Ballito Pro, presented by Billabong from June 27 to July 9.

Centered around the international surfing contest which pulls an impressive competitive line-up from across the globe, the Ballito Pro also hosts an entertaining festival programme for holiday-makers and residents with the extreme biking action being a definite crowd favourite.

South African motorcycle trials’ champs, Brent and Bruce le Riche – sponsored by Monster Energy Drink – are set to get the coastal crowd revved up as the dynamic team return to “the best show on our calendar”.

“The Ballito Pro has been good to us and, with this being our fifth appearance, we are obviously doing something right too!

The event is so special because of the Ballito Pro’s vibe and the arena is up close and personal – who would not want to be part of the sea breeze swirling around the smell of burnt rubber and high-performance race fuel,” said Brent, who has been ranked as the country’s number one rider 12 times with brother, Bruce, taking the title three times.

Both have ranked in the top five on the North American circuit.

The brothers won their combined 16th South African National Trials Championship last year, while Bruce has taken on a whole new challenge – fatherhood.

As with everything in life, he finds this new competition tough, but Bruce is always up for a challenge which means putting in hard work, even in the early hours!

The performance consists of 25 minutes of extreme wheelies and nose wheelies as well as ramping 3.5m high walls all backed by incredible beats right next to the audience.

Without wanting to give away too much, Brent said this year’s performance will “definitely be something different”.

“Get to the festival and experience it first-hand. You will not be disappointed.”

The talent continues at the skate park where South African skate legend, Khule Nubange, will demonstrate some dry land board action.

Khule will be at the Ballito Pro with his custom half pipe hosting skate clinics, performing sessions with local skaters as well as the not-to-be-missed official jam and best trick sessions in the activation village.

There will also be a number of spot-prize giveaways, so don’t miss out!
