The latest BMX Videos, Products and News!
I’m not sure how they’re going to bring all of this together, but it sounds like Red Bull is going to get wild in Mexico with the Dirt Conquers contest. Take a look at the trailer above.
“Red Bull Dirt Conquers sets the trend in the BMX world thanks to its unique concept of BMX disciplines mix: Street, Park & Dirt. Different kinds of BMX riders with completely different skills will compete the same day and on the same track built by Dave King!”
Red Bull followed Daniel Dhers around during X-Games Brazil. This video gives you some insight into how the week went from the flight in to the course, his experiences during his stay and more. I call this living the dream, haha. This is part 2 of the videos (somehow we missed part one) and part 3 will drop in the next few days.

Spotted this one on Flat Matters. There’s a video that popped up giving you a behind the scenes look at how this shot the video of Terry Adams riding flatland out in the water with wake boarder Adam Errington. It’s not embedable, but you can check it out RIGHT HERE. Wild.
We’ve been hearing rumors that Dreamline was coming back for a couple of months now, and it sounds like they’ve finally set the date and location. Check out the official press release below letting you all know where things are going off this year! All I know is I need to make it to this since the first one was hands down one of the best events I’ve ever been to! Get stoked!
“THIS COURSE IS ON FIRE: RED BULL DREAMLINE BRINGS THE BEST OF BMX DIRT TO ANGEL FIRE, NEW MEXICO By the Riders, for the Riders Contest set in downhill resort
April 29, 2013– (Santa Monica, CA) – The once quiet, under-the-radar event of Red Bull Dreamline, originally held on private land in Wabasha, Minn. is rising again, this time in the resort area of Angel Fire, New Mexico, with a bigger course, bold athlete list and some of the most challenging jumps seen in any recent BMX history. On August 9-10th, 2013, the slopes of the mountain will be converted into a dream downhill BMX dirt course, with 1,500 feet of perfectly groomed hits made-to-order, descending down from nearly 10,000 feet of elevation.
The Red Bull Dreamline project was conceived by BMX pro Anthony Napolitan as way to showcase the best of what dirt riding can be. Given six weeks and complete freedom to develop and groom the course, builder Adam Aloise helped take contest riding to a new level. While some elements will be under wraps, they are promising a course that includes 12 hits with one of the largest shark fin features ever seen, and a jump that will send riders at least 35 feet in the air. Top names in the sport have already RSVP’d including Luke Parslow, Brian Foster, Dennis Enarson and Mike “Hucker” Clark.
The format of the contest has been developed to benefit the riders. On August 9th, 32 riders will compete in two heats of 16. The 16 athletes in the non-riding heat will judge their peers. The top four from each heat will be moving on to Saturday’s final and will be judged by a randomly drawn group of non-qualifying riders from Friday. There will be a two hour jam session for each heat.
While there is prize money up for grabs, 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. As Anthony Napolitan describes it, “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. This event was designed for the riders, by the riders and that’s why it going to be such a great success.”
The event will get a national spotlight as part of the Red Bull Signature Series, which will air on NBC on October 19th, 2013 at 5pm EST, brought to you in partnership with Casio G’zOne Commando, Dodge Dart, and GoPro . The show airs as part of the Red Bull Signature Series, the most progressive action sports property in the world, featuring some of Red Bull’s top events including the Vans US Open of Surfing, Joyride and Rampage.

Red Bull got a bunch of their top BMX riders together for a very special training session at Joyride 150. Trainers and Freestyle BMX seem like polar opposites, but in the end I think everyone learned something valuable in the whole process. It’s cool to know that my addiction to these drinks is helping to fund rad stuff like this.
Mike “Hucker” Clark has been able to lead one hell of a life the past few years thanks to BMX. This video Red Bull dropped gives you a look at just how good things have been in one day. If this doesn’t make you wish you were him, I don’t know what the hell you’re aspiring to be.
“In this clip we catch up with professional BMX rider and Red Bull Roast It 2013 Best Rider winner Mike “Hucker” Clark for a day of fun in Queenstown, New Zealand. Mike takes a spin in a helicopter, rides some downhill mountain bike trails, hits a few lines at Gorge Rd Jump Park and takes a dip in the chilly waters of Lake Hayes. All in a days work for Hucker!”
It looks like the X-Games are making some changes to help give some unknown talent the chance to get some shine time. Find out all about Red Bull Phenom in the video above and the press release below, then get out their and start stacking clips.
