Empire of Dirt 2012 – Course Layout

April 24, 2012

*Click Here to see in full!

I would KILL to be at this…

“This years Empire course is definitely going to be different from 2008. From the get go we start on real steps, cross a real road & down real rails. From this we go into a big catty woods influenced step down leading into a right hand 270 berm.

The first split section slows the riding down a bit, choice of rails on the right & more traditional trail hip jumps through the trees. The mellower gradient at this point should allow for some nice tricks & consistency will be important to get through smoothly.

We then see a similar elevated quarter pipe to 2008, straight into the big curved wall synonymous with Red Bull Empire of dirt. Then the course picks up pace towards the end.

A huge flat bank spine, should really push the riders as on the approach it will look as if you are literally going to land in London!

The last straight again splits, on the left a mega ramp gap to grind. Then on the right a Robbie Madison step up to vertical roll in. This will really test nerves & skill as no one will have ever ridden anything like this. If you get to the finish It all ends with an oversize trick booter.” – Red Bull

Crispy Stream dropped this new edit featuring Brock Olive stacked with goodness…

“Brock collected a few clips here and there with me over the last couple of months. These consist of the shit he didn’t want to film for 2020, basically just stuff he can do without thinking about it. Pretty cray.

Always really digging these stories behind the photo that Kosman has been putting together.

They ended up at the base of the Andes Mountains at a dusty jump and made something happen. Shot on a Canon 1DMK4, ISO 160, 70mm, f.6.3, 1/250th shutter. 3 Einstein flashes triggered with Pocket Wizard Plus remotes on channel 3.
