Curated by festival specialist, Seventy EMG, IBW 2022 has been themed – ‘Come Home to The Wild’ as a callout for all those who crave to be their authentic selves and meet like-minded people with a shared love for two-wheels. Created as a celebration of motorcycling culture and motorcyclists, IBW embraces the passion, independence and adventurous spirit every rider, regardless of their gender, background and the ride they own.
The ‘Ride to IBW’ is only the start to an adventurous journey that starts with riding to Goa and converges into a slew of events that aren’t for the faint-hearted and entice the free spirit of brave heart riders. The event attractions will include: 5 different race tracks, Wheelie training, Ring of Fire, Biker’s Mart (Indoor & Outdoor Expo), RevMoto Stage, Big Trip sessions, IBW Previously Loved Garage, IBW Surf Day, IBW Collector’s Showcase, the Club Village and Jameson’s Howling Dog Bar.

Each of these will have exciting activities for participants to be immersed in the wild experience that IBW is synonymous with and offering a chance to reconnect with the community that shares the same DNA.
“Riding makes you feel one with the world and yourself. It is a state of meditation triggered by the wish to know yourself better. And what could be better than meeting a community that is built of people who are looking to discover themselves and the world. In the 8th edition, IBW is larger than ever. What’s completely new about this edition are the 5 racing tracks for our biker friends at IBW – Adventure Flow Track, Flat Track, MX Dirt Dash, The Mud Rush, and the Enduro Hill Climb. It really will be Ride, Party, Race for all of us in Goa this year” says Martin da Costa, CEO of 70 EMG and Festival Director.
