When style meets sea breeze, you know something special’s going down. XAF’25 – East Vs. West brought together some of the cleanest rides and most passionate crews from across the coast for a weekend that won’t be forgotten anytime soon. Hosted by Xtreme Racing Crew, the event took over De Bakke, Santos Beach in Mossel Bay, blending a laid-back beach vibe with the precision and pride of South Africa’s stance scene.
East Meets West
From Cape Town to East London, enthusiasts rolled in, repping their hometowns, crews, and unique builds. The East vs. West concept added a friendly edge to the atmosphere, with everyone out to showcase their fitment, creativity, and style. Yes, there was trophies indeed, but a lot of mutual respect and a shared love for the culture.
The Beachside Vibe
The De Bakke chalets turned into the perfect pitstop for the weekend. Music, laughter, and the sound of air compressors filled the air as the sun set over the bay. The mix of coastal energy and clean fitment created a scene straight out of a movie – beach views, low cars, and good company all around.
The LowCo Limbo
A highlight of the event had to be the Limbo hosted by LowCo. Crowds gathered, phones up, cheering as each car crept lower and lower under the bar. It was pure entertainment, and a perfect showcase of just how far the stance community pushes boundaries, both technically and creatively.
Capturing the Culture
Content creators were out in full force. LowCo, Southern Stance, The Germanese, LCS, and Wild FPR worked nonstop to capture every frame. From sunrise rollers to night-time reflections under the lights, the visuals coming out of XAF’25 are nothing short of fire.
For those of us behind the lens, it was more than just an event to shoot, it was an experience to feel. Every photo told a story of dedication, community, and the shared pursuit of perfect fitment.
More Than an Event
XAF’25 – East Vs. West proved once again that the stance community isn’t divided by geography – it’s united by passion. The coastlines might be far apart, but the love for clean builds, creativity, and connection brings everyone together.
Until next time, keep it low, keep it clean, and stay Wild!.
