Saudi Freeride Flight 001

Jeddah, Saudi Arabia – The Saudi Freeride Flight 001 has etched its name in the annals of sports history as the inaugural mountain bike freeride event in Saudi Arabia, heralding a new era for extreme sports in the region. With an extraordinary assembly of international freeriding stars, the event has set the stage for unprecedented thrills and epic content creation on Saudi soil.
