Ride UK dropped this video featuring the highlights of what went down in finals during the Red Bull Empire of Dirt contest yesterday. Looks like it was a damn good time. Can’t wait to see Red Bull’s official edits from this which should be out soon.
It sounds like things got pretty wild at the Red Bull Empire of Dirt. The weather has been holding out and thousands of people are on site loving it which is rad. Below you can find a little write up of what went down in qualifiers along with the results for the day. Finals tomorrow! Expect a video to surface soon enough from todays riding.
“Red Bull Empire Of Dirt kicked off with qualifiers today at London’s Alexandra’s Palace. The place filled up quickly with BMX fans, 10.000 of them. The course which winds down the hill overlooking London, takes the riders near a minute to complete. Big screens meant that everyone on site could see the riders hit some huge features including the curved wall, the mini mega ramp, the start-off kicker into the donut turn and three sets at the bottom of the hill. It’s tough to get used to such a unique course in just a few days as it’s one of a kind.
The reactions of the riders have been amazing. They’re stoked to be part of the event and with all the fans cheering them on, it pushes them to the next level. 16 riders made it to Sunday’s finals and as always it was tough on the judges to get a score down. Ben Wallace (UK) sure was on fire and blasted everything a few feet higher than the rest. Being a park and dirt rider sure helps on this course as you need both skills to make it through. “Good old” Ryan Nyquist 360-d his way to the bottom in both directions and did a double barspin over the “spine”, an obstacle that others preferred to footplant over as it was a challenging ramp. Qualifying in third was Mike “ Hucker” Clark who hang-5-d through the hill straight into an x-up flip on the first jump.
Fortunately the weather has been cooperating and the crowd enjoyed the show. England is pretty BMX-crazy, it’s a good thing the Empire Of Dirt is here.

If you are in the market for some new brakes (don’t lie, you know you want to get off that brakeless game), then check out Drew Bezanson’s new signature Sano brakes from The Shadow Conspiracy. These brakes are made from CNC machined 6061 aluminum and feature a low profile design for chain and tire clearance. The Sano brakes also come with the Shadow machined cable hanger and the soft brakes to really lock things up proper. You can pick these up in black, white, crimson red, purple, matte highlighter blue and raw polish with a weight of 6.2 oz. Check out more photos HERE.
Red Bull strapped a GoPro to Drew Bezanson and sent him down the Empire of Dirt course. Here’s your chance to see exactly what it’s like to fly down the course! This weekend should get pretty nuts. Can’t wait to see it go down.
100% agree with the thing that scares him most.
“Drew Bezanson is a top BMX competitor with a three-peat victory in effect at Simple Session plus he has been honored with some of BMX’s highest achievements, but he remains humble and continues to push his limits in BMX. Bezanson travels light with the bare minimum to stay connected and to stay on his bike. Hear from Bezanson what are his traveling vitals and greatest career highlights in this My Five.” – Alli Sports
