Red Bull – Encouraged 2

July 10, 2024

Courage Adams fulfills his promise of building the first park in Nigeria.

Back in 2020, Courage Adams first Encouraged video from Red Bull dropped following Courage as he made his way back to Nigeria where he was born to meet the locals and check out the scene. During that trip, he promised those guys that he would make the first park in Nigeria happen, and two years later it finally happened. Red Bull dropped this video documenting the project from start to finish with the help of Ryan Corrigan, Paul Cvikevich, The Fids and the locals. We’re not sure why it took 2 years to release the video, but we’re stoked to finally see it.

April 13, 2023

Kriss Kyle floated a wild idea to Red Bull and they made it happen.

Over the years we’ve seen Red Bull support some really wild projects for their team, and today they raised the bar once again! Kriss Kyle had an idea of riding up in the sky, and they cooked up a plan to float a bowl 2,000 feet up under a hot air balloon. We can’t imagine what went into making this one happen, but they figured it out and Kriss made the most of it. Here’s a look at this crazy setup, along with some wild riding from Kriss. That back rail ice was unreal. This is a must see, even if you aren’t a fan of heights.

“Limits do not exist for BMX rider and Red Bull athlete Kriss Kyle who has achieved something seemingly impossible. With a skatepark suspended from one of the world’s largest hot-air balloons, Kriss Kyle floats over 2,000 feet above ground, showcasing an array of tricks suspended in mid-air for his latest pioneering BMX film.

Red Bull – Croatian BMX Vacation

May 25, 2022

Red Bull coming through with a new one from some time Marin Rantes, Daniel Dhers and Senad Grosic (It’s been forever since we’ve seen him pop up in a video!) throwing down on ramps set up around Rovinj, Croatia! As expected, they went above and beyond with the setups and it lead to a bunch of great riding footage, especially having it mixed in with this city. This video also has a behind the scenes look at what went into making this one, which is definitely interesting to see as well!

“The picturesque coastal town of Rovinj in Croatia is world-renowned for a number of things. The beaches, the architecture, the people, the vibes. The list is long but few would include “BMX destination” in it. Stone-paved 16th century streets aren’t really ideal to cruise on 20-inch wheels, but that sure didn’t stop Marin Ranteš dreaming about setting up features all around the town. By the time these dreams came to fruition the Croatian local had became an international BMX park heavyweight with the likes of Daniel Dhers & Senad Grosic on speed dial. Both wasted no time, packed their bikes and joined Marin for a Croatian BMX vacation.” – Red Bull
