On Thursday it's off to New York City for RedBull's Trick Or Treat contest. 16 of the best street riders have been invited by Edwin Delarosa to ride in a unique team battle. One of the riders is Germany's Bruno Hoffmann who will be teaming up with Dakota Roche. FATBMX will be on Bruno's tail for a day by day NYC report.
