Shan speaks with event organiser Jim Fowlie, official photographer Luke Brown, Street MC Jesse Noonan, and Belco spirit animal Conz about the history, chaos, and community that have defined Belco for a quarter of a century. From street, bowl, and vert all in one weekend to music, parties, and the infamous leg wrestling...this is why Belco matters.

Get there 20-22nd February 2026.

Enjoy,

Shan
