Red Bull Empire of Dirt is a BMX slope style contest that aims to find the most well rounded rider from the various disciplines of BMX. The event takes place in front of the magnificent Alexandra Palace, where 10,000 people will watch 36 riders take on oversized features, motocross style jumps and snowboard type hits. 2012 sees the UK debut of Colombian & Spanish BMX riders Alejandro Caro & Ruben Alcantarra as part of the world’s elite team of expert bmx bike riders.
Red Bull Empire of Dirt is all about finding out who is the most well rounded Pro rider. The course will be challenging, fast and fun pushing riders to the next level. When riders first looked upon the Empire Course 2008 jaws dropped, we intend to produce a course that will have the same impact in 2012.
