Here’s a behind the scenes look at the shoot for Bruno Hoffmann’s limited edition Red Bull packaging. Pretty crazy how simple this all looks, but how awesome it turned out.
Red Bull Trick Or Treat 2011 Flyer
“New York, NY – October 5, 2011 – Sure to be the highlight of Halloween weekend, Red Bull Trick or Treat will give Brooklynites a front row seat to watch BMX street riders take on the night. On Saturday, October 29th, 32 of the most core and respected BMX riders in the country will gather at Newtown Barge Park for a contest that will be full of tricks, and for the rider that survives til the end, some much deserved treats.
Local BMX Pro rider Edwin De La Rosa helped to put together a list of the 32 most bad to the bone riders in street. The new contest format is “Live or Die” where heats of 6 riders will compete, with only the top 2 living to the next round, followed by a two heat semifinal and an all-out 6 rider final. Red Bull Trick or Treat will feature Halloween themed obstacles in a graveyard layout, with grindable coffin boxes, a tombstone vert wall, a curved grim reaper rail box, and a 32 foot long cross box, all custom painted by Ryan Humphrey.
With the Manhattan skyline in the background, fans will be witness to truly authentic street riding by some of the most respected riders in the industry including Scotty Cranmer, Corey Martinez, Brad Simms, Bruno Hoffmann, Dakota Roche, Jared Washington, Mike Brennan, Dave Belcher, Augie Simoncini, Tony Hamlin, Garret Hoogerhyde, and Dan Lacey with more to be announced.
There will be treats better than candy for some lucky fans. During the contest there will be a raffle for a new Kink bike, DC gift certificates and Edwin will personally donate his bike at the end of the event to the raffle.
The event is free for all ages, and will feature beats by DJ Yamez, in partnership with The Open Space Alliance for North Brooklyn and DC Shoes, Kink, Skavenger, Animal, and Post Bikes. Costumes are encouraged for both riders and onlookers.

Red Bull Dream Line Finals Edit
Red Bull dropped the second video from Dreamline this past weekend. The finals were definitely on a whole different level. After you check out the video, hit the Photogallery from the finals.
“The Red Bull Dream Line Finals in Wabasha, Minnesota featured eight top BMX dirt riders on a one-of-a-kind course with a laid-back, good-time vibe. See what happened during the session, after which Luke Parslow was picked by the other riders as the day’s champ.”

The finals from Red Bull‘s Dreamline went down this past Saturday. The format was once again very loose with everyone who didn’t make it into finals voting for the top 3 riders. With a line up of Brian Foster, Chris Doyle, Mike “Hucker” Clark, Luke Parslow, Dennis Enarson, Cory Nastazio, Gary Young and TJ Ellis in the finals, good things were obviously going to happen.
After the lines were touched up and watered by the building crew, the guys started rolling in on the trails. Once everyone was good and warmed up, the guys in the finals were given the heads up that the clock was going to start and they had an hour to impress everyone with everything in their bag of tricks.
Needless to say, the final jam turned into a full on session with almost everyone riding; not just the guys in the finals. As the time progressed, things started getting real hot with guys throwing down things they have never done or haven’t done in years. Everyone was vibing so well that once the clock ran out, nobody said anything and just let the guys keep going. It was an amazing decision since that’s when two double backflips came out (Hucker and then Luke Parslow) over the big booter, Dennis was destroying the shark fin, Doyle was dropping 720’s mid set and everyone in general was pushing it harder than any of the riding seen the entire weekend.
It wasn’t until Brian Foster went down with a possible torn ACL and the light was fading that the riders decided it was time to shut it down and cast their votes. It was apparent to everyone who would be taking home the cash this weekend.
I’d like to send a huge shout out to Red Bull for organizing one of the most amazing and relaxed contests ever. This is definitely one event that will go down in the history books as how things should be done in BMX.

“LIVING THE DREAM: LUKE PARSLOW WINS BMX DIRT FINAL AT RED BULL DREAM LINE
Private Rider-Judged Contest Goes Big in Small Town Minnesota
September 24, 2011 – (Wabasha, MN) – There was no snow necessary to make a dream downhill run at the Coffee Mill Ski Resort in rural Minnesota this weekend. Luke Parslow put on a non-stop BMX dirt showcase to win the top spot with a barrage of flip tricks. In a flawless two hour session he blasted a 360 backflip, a backflip tailwhip and a double backflip. That was enough to earn the respect of his fellow riders, who awarded him the prize in a contest Parslow called, “the best contest since Red Bull Elevation.”
A first of its kind, Red Bull Dream Line features an unrestricted trails-style course that sent riders to skies and back down again. Sixteen riders hit 13 perfectly groomed jumps in a self-judged contest that encouraged skill and creativity, like Mike ‘Hucker’ Clark’s opposite truck downside 360 whip, a trick which has rarely been seen before.
Red Bull Dream Line project was conceived by BMX pro Anthony Napolitan as way to privately train and develop his tricks. Given six weeks and complete freedom to develop and groom the course to their liking, builders Adam Aloise and Dave King (who previously worked on Red Bull Elevation) began to shape Anthony’s private playground. The course proved to be so amazing he couldn’t keep it to himself, and devised the contest to invite 16 of the worlds best BMX dirt riders to session and see what could be done on a course that includes a 35ft step-up and a first-of-its-kind near vert berm gap named “the shark fin”. Top names in the sport made the trip to Wabasha to see the dream in person, including Red Bull Stomping Ground winner Brandon Dosch, young star Dennis Enerson, and sport legends like Chris Doyle, Cory Nastazio and Brian Foster.
The self-judged format allowed riders complete freedom to judge with no set criteria. On Friday, September 23rd, sixteen riders competed in two heats of eight. The eight athletes in the non-riding heat judged their peers. The top eight moved on to Saturday’s Finals. During a 45-minute jam, Enerson landed a 270 tailwhip on “the shark fin” and Parslow and Hucker both closed down the session with a double backflip on a massive 35ft step-up.
While there is prize money up for grabs, the goal of the contest is take a step back and enjoy riding with freedom from timed runs and the pressure of live TV, on a course that had no rules or constraints. For Napolitan, the event proved to be a dream come true, “This contest made a huge impact on BMX dirt, the riders are psyched and I couldn’t be more happy.”
