The idea of the Red Bull Dirt Pipe contest is to create the world's first dirt half pipe for BMX, creating a 120m long half pipe, similar to a snowboard half pipe in shape and size, made from dirt. The pipe will have an in-run and be cut into a sloped hill to ensure riders maintain good speed. This will allow riders to concentrate on big, dynamic, tricks, while adding in some kickers to spice the runs up.
