The Red Bull Dreamline project was conceived by BMX pro Anthony Napolitan as way to showcase the best of what dirt riding can be. Given six weeks and complete freedom to develop and groom the course, builder Adam Aloise helped take contest riding to a new level. While some elements will be under wraps, they are promising a course that includes 12 hits with one of the largest shark fin features ever seen, and a jump that will send riders at least 35 feet in the air. Top names in the sport have already RSVP’d including Luke Parslow, Brian Foster, Dennis Enarson and Mike “Hucker” Clark. 
The format of the contest has been developed to benefit the riders. On August 9th, 32 riders will compete in two heats of 16. The 16 athletes in the non-riding heat will judge their peers. The top four from each heat will be moving on to Saturday’s final and will be judged by a randomly drawn group of non-qualifying riders from Friday. There will be a two hour jam session for each heat. While there is prize money up for grabs, the contest shines a light on what BMXers enjoy most about riding - the freedom of pushing the limits with their friends, on a course that has no rules or constraints. As Anthony Napolitan describes it, “Red Bull Dreamline is an event that BMX riders can show up to, ride, have a great time, progress, and feel completely comfortable without the pressures of a normal contest setting. This event was designed for the riders, by the riders and that’s why it going to be such a great success.”
The event will get a national spotlight as part of the Red Bull Signature Series, which will air on NBC on October 19th, 2013 at 5pm EST, brought to you in partnership with Casio G'zOne Commando, Dodge Dart, and GoPro . The show airs as part of the Red Bull Signature Series, the most progressive action sports property in the world, featuring some of Red Bull’s top events including the Vans US Open of Surfing, Joyride and Rampage.
