Two jam sessions took place on Friday at Red Bull Dreamline, each with 16 amazing dirt riders attempting to turn in banger runs on the massive course with the ultimate combination of tricks and flow. The riders in the first heat were judged by the riders in the second heat and vice-versa, so it was as real as it gets for these competitors.
The vibe was amazing and loose, depite the heavy nature of the course and some frustration due to unpredictable wind gusts -- the course is so long it's almost as if the top half and bottom half have different weather patterns, so it was a frequent struggle to gauge speed and boost on the last three kickers.
Plenty of incredible riding still took place though, as you can see in the video above. Six riders from each heat advanced, so we're in for a crazy final event on Saturday.
