No sport has benefited more from Red Bull's investment than the world of BMX. The Austrian energy drink company began investing in the sport back in 2001, and now the invitation-only Red Bull Rampage competition is the most lucrative events in the world. Superstars of the sport such as Canadian trio Brandon Semenuk, Kurt Sorge, and Brett Rheeder have all made the competition their home in recent years, racking up nine titles between them and hundreds of thousands of dollars in prize money.
But it isn’t just the world of BMX that has seen investment from the Austrian giant in recent years
From 37 riders to 16 to just eight. The level of riding at the Glendale stop of the BMX Triple Challenge has been pretty damn wild. With the Semi Finals feeling more like a Finals, everyone went for broke in the final round...
Another raw reminder of last year's epic E-FISE Glasgow video contest, this time with Hobie Doan and DIG filmer Trent Lutzke. Catch all the raw clips, behind-the-scenes, crashes and more, all shot over just a handful of days.
The Best Trick jam at the BMX Triple Challenge always has the riders pushing the limits of what can be done on a BMX bike. The Glendale, AZ stop was no different. Double flip yourself over to the play button to watch some first T’s and NBDs
While asking yourself what BMX bike should I buy? Or Which BMX bike is the best? Keep in mind that building your new BMX correctly after it arrives from the team at LUXBMX is key to having the best riding experience possible.
