It’s impossible to imagine, but today Red Bull Elevation turned the Parque Metropolitano into a runway. Thirty bicycles rolled for more than three hours over tons of dirt that give shape to the most impressive BMX Dirt Jump track.

The best riders of the world jumped up to three meters of height with only one thing in mind: to perform the best and most perfect tricks such as tailwhips, barspins and frontflips. 

After each contestant had four opportunities to take over the course, the judges (Tim ‘Fuzzy’ Hall, Nuno Oliveira, John Povah, Ryan Barrett and Matt Beringer) revealed the semifinal’s results:

1. Corey Bohan 91.1
2. Cam White 91.0
3. Ryan Nyquist 90.8
4. TJ Ellis 89.7
5. Chris Doyle 89.7
6. Gary Young 89.1
7. Rob Darden 89.1
8. James Foster 88.5
9. Dennis Enarson 87.3
10. Dane Searls 87.3
11. Anthony Napolitan 86.3
12. Brian Foster 85.7

13. Mike "Hucker" Clark 85.1
14. Josh Stead 84.9
15. Adam Baker 84.4
16. Colin MacKay 84.0
17. Héctor García 83.1
18. Markus Hampl 82.7
19. Adam Aloise 82.3
20. Ryan Jordan 82.1
21. Ricardo Laguna 81.7
22. Alistair Whitton 81.5
23. Romuald "Bibi" Noirot 81.5
24. Jed Milden 81.2
25. Heath Pinter 79.9
26. Luke Parslow 79.7
27. Erick Soto 79.5
28. Fernando Sabat 75.3
29. Matt Beyers 75.0
30. Kym Grosser 71.4

Just the best twelve riders passed to the big final, which promises to be breathtaking.

“The course was challenging and I feel good on it”, said the Red Bull Athlete Corey Bohan (Australia), who obtained the best score during the semifinal. On the other hand, ‘El Baisa’-who today experienced his first international Dirt Jump competition- mentioned that spite he didn’t qualify to the final, he is very happy of having participated in this event; “to ride on a course like this is a motivation for me to keep practicing BMX”, said the Mexican rider.

Tomorrow at noon everything will be ready for the finalists to challenge gravity and show what they are able to do on two wheels.
