A festival can't be all work and no play. Thrills and Skills offers plenty of shenanigans, including Crazy Bike Contests run by our local NICA team. Contests could include any of these team favorites: Skinny Rail, Foot Down, Bunny Hop, Log Pull, Long Jump, Longest Wheelie, Strider Race, Slalom, and others.

​

Join the fun with casual lawn games, social group rides, a Trivia contest, and more!  PLUS, we have a fabulous line-up of the area's best musicians providing live music paired with Adria's Beer Garden, and the tastiest Food Trucks for quick, satisfying meals.

 

For the non-riding members of your family, there are plenty of activities they can enjoy while you ride. Kane County has a plethora of incredible hiking destinations. Best Friends Animal Sanctuary offers multiple tours. There are off-road adventure tours, canyoneering, horseback riding, interesting museums, self-guided bike rides, unique local shops, beautiful public parks, and so much more! Of course, they could just Chill to the music at the festival base and enjoy the fall colors popping against the red rocks.
