FRENCH RIDERS LEAD THE WAY IN RUNABOUT AND SKI
‘THE ROK’ IN FREESTYLE
AQUABIKE AND MUSIC FESTIVAL
ROCK MILAN
The UIM-ABP Aquabike Class Pro World
Championship closed out the first half of the
year in style with a mix of high octane racing,
aerial insanity courtesy of the Freestylers and
all matched with the high-energy sounds of the
inaugural Aquabike Music Festival at Milan’s
Idroscalo in June.
Organised by H2O Racing and AIM Group
International the event delivered four days of
great competition and non-stop entertainment.
“This was our first major venture to stage an
extended event of this type and overall we
have received very positive feedback,” said
H2O Racing’s marketing director, Raimondo di
San Germano. “The mix of sport and music is
a perfect fit for Aquabikes. There are things we
would like to develop and some things we will
change. But this is the way forward.”
The night Slalom and Freestyle show followed
by renowned French duo Klingande kicked off
the event, the racing building over the next two
days and reaching fever pitch on the Sunday,
with international DJs and Nicolo Cavalchini
prowling and pumping out sounds on the stage
in the evenings.
