This video lets you in on everything that went on creating the 10 legendary videos that riders from around the world were influenced and shocked by. The box set is dropping August 5th and I HIGHLY, HIGHLY advise you pre-order a copy now. You will NOT be disappointed!

This years Red Bull Dreamline contest is going down October 10th and 11th just outside of Ashville, North Carolina! As you can imagine, this will be one hell of an event and it looks like a ton of people have signed up so far! Check out who will be there this time around below!
“THE BEST OF BMX DIRT HEADS EAST TO ASHEVILLE, NC
By the Riders, for the Riders Contest Returns
June 25, 2014 – (Asheville, NC) – Red Bull Dreamline is back for its third year this fall just south of Asheville, NC, at the Oskar Blues REEB Ranch, with a bigger course, bold athlete list and some of the most challenging jumps seen in BMX history. On October 10-11, 2014, the rolling hills of the Blue Ridge Parkway will be converted into a dream downhill BMX dirt course, with bigger jumps than last year from top to bottom.
Conceived by pro athlete Anthony Napolitan, Red Bull Dreamline is a way to showcase the best of dirt riding, by the riders, for the riders. Given six weeks and the freedom to develop concept into course, builder Adam Aloise promises to groom a next level dirt playground. While some elements will be under wraps until riders arrive on site, the course guarantees to be the most challenging to date, including 10 jumps, with the largest sending athletes up to 35 feet in the air.
The jam session format of the contest has been developed to benefit the riders. The contest has invited 28 riders, who will be joined by four alternates selected during the practice sessions. The 32 riders will compete in two heats of 16 in the qualifiers. When the athletes are not competing in a heat, they will be judging their fellow riders. The top six from each heat will move on to Saturday’s final and will be judged by a randomly drawn group of non-qualifying riders from Friday.
“Red Bull Dreamline is an event that BMX riders can show up to, ride, have a great time, progress, and feel completely comfortable without the pressures of a normal contest setting. We’re excited to head east where dirt BMX was born,” says creator Anthony Napolitan. The contest shines a light on what BMXers enjoy most about riding – the freedom of pushing the limits with their friends, on a course that has no rules or constraints.

“The weather gods looked truly not good with the Peoples Store Summer Games 2014. Luckily there in Cologne with the concrete park under the Zoobrücke a covered spot that you can go more or less well in the rain. What was offered there trick technically, you betray our video.” – Freedom BMX
