BF-IT: Dreamline Crash Commentary

July 1, 2015

Ah, man… This one is a hell of a memory for me personally. During the first Dreamline contest, Brian Foster took a slam that left him with a torn ACL. The reason this is such a memory is because I was shooting photos at this contest and remember walking up to Brian after he fell to check if he was okay, and he calmly said “I tore my ACL” and I almost thought he was kidding because I imagined seeing this excruciating melt down filled with screaming and everything when that happens. Talk about a badass in that shitty situation. Sure enough though, Brian did have a torn ACL and ended up getting surgery after that contest. DIG dropped this funny slow-motion commentary from the crash where Brian talks us through his thoughts as he was going down. Take a look!

“As promised we’ve got the BF-it documentary extras to release online today as part of our #DIGBFWEEK, and first up is Brian’s horrible crash from Red Bull Dreamline back in 2011 (which resulted in knee surgery) but with a special BF commentary over the top explaining how things went in his mind, as only he could! Look out for a Cutting Room Floor video with some hilarious outtakes coming on digbmx.com soon.” – DIG

Red Bull Dreamline 2014 – Finals Highlights

October 13, 2014

This past weekend, things at Red Bull Dreamline got insane! Check out this highlight reel from some of the bangers that went down during finals! Cannot get over how big those jumps are!

“It’s not often that BMX riders ask to continue riding a contest course after the event is over, but that’s exactly what goes down at Red Bull Dreamline. A completely unique set of jumps is constructed for the landmark event that not only challenge the competitors but also inspire them to push their riding to another level. They only have a few days to ride it, so they pour everything they have into getting the most out of the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

You can see that in action in the video above. The 12 Red Bull Dreamline finalists completely went off during their two-hour jam session on Saturday, testing out what was possible in the technical upper section and over the three gigantic jumps at the end of the 1,690-foot course. Dirt-jumping legend Ryan Nyquist was awarded the top spot, but everyone who had a chance to ride came out a winner.

See more coverage on the Red Bull Dreamline site, and be sure to watch the full event recap on NBC as part of the Red Bull Signature Series on November 8 starting at 5:00 p.m. ET.”

The Art of the Red Bull Dreamline Course Build

October 9, 2014

Red Bull Dreamline is going down this weekend and we’re getting a look at just what these guys cooked up for this years contest! Get some insight on what it took to get the course done and a little preview of just how massive these jumps get!

“The time is upon us; all of the effort that Adam Aloise and his build crew put into creating the landmark 2014 Red Bull Dreamline course will come to fruition as the venue is revealed to the competitors today.

While at some dirt jump events the course is practically an afterthought, designed to facilitate a quick and easy build with limited resources, the Dreamline course is the cornerstone of this event. Months of planning, careful consideration of countless details, and a deliberate, lengthy build and test schedule ensure that the best riders in the world will be treated to the absolute best competition dirt jump course in the world.

Watch the video above for a glimpse at some of the features of the course, as well as insight from Aloise and Anthony Napolitan about how it came together.”
