“Several years ago, Adam Baker was an S&M sponsored dirt rider from Prescott, Ariz., with a wild video section in the etnies video “Grounded,” and some of the best truckdrivers and 3-whips in BMX. After leaving the S&M team in the end of 2008, Baker continued to ride, moving to Denver, Colo. to work in a bike shop alongside Leif Valin. And he continues to shred. Recently, Mike Meister caught up with Adam to ride some parks and trails, and Baker delivered. This is Adam Baker, circa 2011. Video by Mike Meister.” – ESPN

Filmed and edited by Matt Smith. Props to Milsy for all the lifts.”

The past few days have been, well, a dream. Red Bull gave Anthony Napolitan and his team of builders (Adam Aloise and Cody Nutter to name a few…) free reign on the hills of Coffee Mill Ski Resort in Wabasha, Minnesota to build the best possible dirt course they could. With months of secrecy for organizing and building the course, it was finally unveiled with a video that melted minds. Fast forward a few weeks and some of the best dirt riders in the world are flying into Minnesota wondering where the hell they are.
Thursday was the first official practice day, and Friday brought the qualifiers. This contest was ran entirely different than any other contest because the format was very loose. Eight riders would get a one hour heat to get as many runs down the mountain as they can, while the other eight riders would be judging them. After both heats went through, four riders from each heat were picked for the finals that would take place the following day.
Above you can find 56 photos from qualifiers that went down Friday afternoon shot by yours truly. If you would like to see the images in their full size just give them a click.
