Nov.
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.
