Tell us about Action Sports Tours…

So first and foremost we are a travel company. We’re all about taking people to events all around the world such as the MXoN, Las Vegas supercross, X Games, X-Fighters and more. Basically one day I really wanted to go travel and see some events, but the only travel companies out there were looking after regular people without anything too exciting. So I thought ‘why don’t I make a travel company for people like me?’. Next minute this concept was born and the rest is history.

What trips do you guys have planned this year?

So this year we’ve done international travel packages to the Vegas supercross, X Games and packages planned for the Monster Cup and the MXoN. So basically our travel packages will take care of everything; flights, accommodation, tickets, transport, etc, whereas the tours include a full-blown tour guide, bus, sights, etc.

The MXoN tour sounds like an awesome event. Tell us a bit more about that one coming up in France?

We are so stoked about this tour, its going to be the biggest one of the year. Basically it’s 19 days around Europe going through seven different countries. We’ll be also visiting Oktoberfest for a few days, Amsterdam, the Swiss Alps, plus more. What we’re also doing is creating Australia’s first-ever official group of fans. Our goal there is to be the most vocal group of fans representing our country to help cheer on the boys to hopefully end up on the podium.

So basically its a road trip through Europe, where you guys take care of all the hard work?

Yeah, that pretty much sums it up [laughs]. 19 days on a bus travelling through Europe. With all the different languages and different laws it can be pretty daunting for the first-time traveller, so we make it a lot easier for anybody to experience Europe regardless of what travelling they’ve done.
