Back to back Red Bull events over in Germany. First they had the Red Bull Street Sessions In Essen, then followed it up with the Trickschmiede contest which put riders head to head on different setups to see who could produce the best trick for the judges. When you have guys like Garrett Reynolds, Bruno Hoffmann, Joe Jarvis, Felix Prangenberg, Jordan Godwin, a bunch of Germany’s finest and more, you know things are going to go down. Take a look!

“Plenty of sunshine, a host of top-tier riders—including none other than Garrett Reynolds, the most successful X Games athlete of all time—an enthusiastic crowd, and four truly challenging obstacles: the stage was perfectly set for the inaugural Red Bull Trickschmiede to be an epic event.
And that’s exactly how it turned out! A big reason for this was that Red Bull Trickschmiede’s innovative contest format worked like a charm. Props to the organizing team—Mo Rieger, Andy Zeiss, and Bruno Hoffmann—whose head-to-head approach was spot on. Rarely has a contest captured the true spirit of BMX street riding quite like this one.
In short: an all-around fantastic BMX event at Landschaftspark Duisburg-Nord. We’d love to do it again! We’ve got the highlights of this memorable afternoon in the Ruhr area right here for you. Click to watch!
P.S.: Best wishes for a speedy recovery go out to wildcard winner Krists Kanuks, who unfortunately sustained an injury during the qualifiers and couldn’t finish the contest.

“Red Bull’s first ever Trickschmiede event in Duisburg, Germany went down a treat with an all new head to head contest format put together with the help and support of Bruno Hoffmann. When the GOAT shows up for street comp you know it’s going to be a good one.” – DIG
