Red Bull Dirt Pipe is back in 2011 and is going international! Yep, frontman Corey Bohan will be back and will be bringing some of the world's best BMX riders to unleash their skills in the dirt half pipe tucked away in the Victorian snow fields. The 120-metre long, 4-metre high half pipe was the world's first dirt half pipe and still continues to excite, awe and intimidate with its combination of wall rides, hips and street inspired extensions that pushes the riders to the limits.

For the second year running we will open up the half pipe to a selection of Aussie and international riders who think they-ve got what it takes to go up against the pros. The Aussie young guns will battle each other in the pre-qualifiers for a spot in the competition.
