Bruce Thompson put together this dialed video from the Red Bull Roast It contest. Definitely a different look from the other videos that came out already. So stoked on this contest.
Red Bull – Roast It – Highlights
Oh hell yes. This is what I’ve been waiting for!
“Catch some BMX dirt park action from Red Bull Roast It 2012, where some of the world’s best riders rocked the Gorge Road dirt park in Queenstown, New Zealand, which has one of the biggest collections of dirt jumps on the planet. In the end it was Paul Langland, who was crowned Best Rider whereas George Bolter and Brandon Dosch were tied for riding the Best Line and Jed Mildon nailed the Best Trick…” – Red Bull
Red Bull – Roast It – The Heat Is On
I seriously can’t get over how amazing this place turned out. Red Bull has done it again. Hopefully some of the contest footage starts popping up.
“There is sure to be some red-hot BMX action served up this weekend at Red Bull Roast It on the outskirts of Queenstown, New Zealand. Throw together some of the world’s best BMX riders, a hand-built jump park and more bad-ass tricks than you can wave a pair of knee pads at and you have all the ingredients for a perfect day’s BMXing. Get a taste for it by watching Jaden Leeming, and George and Louis Bolter tear things up.”

Red Bull – Empire of Dirt Returns for 2012
After a hiatus of a few years, Red Bull is working with Kye Forte to bring back the Empire of Dirt contest. For those of you who remember this from 2008, the course was a slope style dirt course with a few wood ramps mixed into it to keep the guys on their toes. The contest was supposed to happen again in 2009, but it got rained out. Stoked to see they are bringing it back for this year.
This means not only will there be this contest, but Dream Line happening this year. Red Bull is killing it!
“ Red Bull Empire of Dirt is back for 2012, the previous event in 2008 was feted by pro riders as the most progressive event the BMX world had seen, so this is sure to be a welcome return.
Kye Forte has been busy designing an amazing, challenging course and is excited for this year’s event which will take BMX to the next level.
” Empire in my opinion not only shows what is possible on a BMX in way of riding & course design to the general public as well as a core BMX fan. The oversized features on the course & mix of terrain MX size jumps & snowboard type hits is obviously dangerous & very entertaining, which will appeal to a wider audience, as well as the BMX scene”
36 riders will compete in the event, which will take place in London. For details visit the Empire of Dirt event page and check back for more updates very soon.”
Red Bull – Roast It, NZ
I’ve been seeing photos of this place popping up on Facebook this week. I had no idea Red Bull was putting on an event there. All I can say is holy hell those are some beautiful trails. The riding that goes down there will be awesome even if it’s people just flowing the place. Can’t wait to see footage from this.
Joyride Session with Drew Bezanson and Anthony Napolitan
Do I really need to tell you this is awesome?
“Anthony Napolitan visits Red Bull teammate Drew Bezanson at Joyride 150, the indoor park just outside of Toronto where Drew has been sharpening his skills to a razor point for 2012 after being out much of last season due to injury.” – Red Bull

Mike “Hucker” Clark on Red Bull
Well, it looks like Red Bull has been doing a little expanding to their BMX team for 2012. They added Sean Ricany the other day and now word is out that Mike “Hucker” Clark is on the team! It’s looking like 2012 is going to be a hell of a year for Mike.
