Red Bull & Kye Forte announced the
much anticipated, Red Bull Empire of
Dirt, will be back in 2008.
The event will be held Friday 25th and
Saturday 26th July, on a farm near
Newton Abbot.
Red Bull Empire of Dirt, the world’s first BMX DIRT SLOPESTYLE contest,
is the brainchild of UK rider Kye Forte and Red Bull, and combines
influences from each of the BMX styles.
Last
year, the innovative, and downright scary course – which swallowed
thousands of tons of dirt, took more than a month to build and featured
a huge dirt superpipe, and ridiculous twin wall rides – sent shockwaves
through the BMX world, and attracted a veritable Who¹s Who of
international riders – including Brian Foster, Gary Young, and Corey
Bohen.
It’s amazing! said Gary Young, summing up most’s impressions of the
course, which stretched 300 metres down a steep slope and also
incorporated doubles, berms, wooden obstacles and rails.
Unfortunately, organisers were forced to cancel the event on the day,
after unusually heavy rain damaged the course beyond repair. In an
overwhelming show of support, all riders vowed to return in 2008 to do
justice to the monster course.
The freakish summer weather put us
down, but not out, last year, says
Empire creator and top UK rider
Kye Forte. It’s only going to make
everyone more keen to show the world
what Red Bull Empire of Dirt is all
about.
Stay tuned for course
design, official website, rider list, and event
