Red Bull Stomping Ground video highlights
In case you didn’t make it to the Stomping Ground event, you can watch some of the crazy tricks that were pulled off on: Red Bull’s YouTube channel.
What a great event, everybody was really killing it!
Red Bull Stomping Ground site report
Only two days left till the Stomping Ground event takes off!
Pro bmx athletes from all over the world are slowly rolling into Chicago for their practice runs. Fuzzy and his crew did a great job and the course is looking amazing.
The Garden crew is dialing in the pumptrack, which is going to open to public tomorrow, Friday the 11th. Hop on your bike and come check out this unique dirt spectacle!
Kona Demo Day rescheduled
Unfortunately, the rainstorm that went through the city this morning left the park unrideable for the rest of the day, and we are forced to reschedule the event.
The new date should most likely be in early July. Please check back for more updates soon.
Red Bull Stomping Ground site report
Red Bull reached out to the Garden crew to help build a pump track for the Stomping Ground event.
Of course, we were happy to help. Especially considering the pump track is going to be open to public starting this weekend.
After 5 days of shovel swinging and drifting around in a bobcat, this place is starting to take a shape. Come and check it out!
