In the baking heat a number of the world's finest BMX riders got their first taste of the epic Red Bull Empire of Dirt course. The riders leading the charge included Kye Forte (UK), Brian Foster (US) and Gary Young (US). South African hopeful Buddy Chellan was super pumped at the end of his practice session. When RedBull caught up with him, but only after he got his breath back, he said, 'This course is awesome. I love the way it combines all three BMX disciplines. I have never experienced a course like it.
The more you push, the more you get out. You're not only battling with the course, your battling with yourself. Who ever dares on Saturday will win.'
Then as the temperature began to cool the riders headed onto an Barn session to showcase an assortment of awesome tricks.
