On the 27th and 28th of June in Trieste, 24 of the best Mountainbike freeriders and BMX street riders, are gonna join in Piazza Unità d'Italia, where for the second time the two disciplines will challenge each other till the last trick in the bike-park which was built especially for this occasion!

24 riders, 12 MTBers and 12 BMXers will compete Friday night at 09:30 pm in order to create individual result lists of the two disciplines. Following these results the couples of riders (one MTB and one BMXer) will be put together for the finals on Saturday.
The starting order for the following day will be defined during this first event's phase.

Saturday night the contest will take place starting from 09:30 pm and Piazza Unità d'Italia will watch a show never seen before. Spectacular tricks, music and breathtaking challenges will keep the square's lights on all night long! The bike-park, settled just in front of the Town Hall, will be composed by walls, spine, quarter, kicker and...unique obstacles especially created for the Red Bull Bike Night!


The news this year is that the left side of the bikepark 2008 is dedicated to the MTB riders. Whereas the right side of the park remains rideable for MTBer and BMXer. A real show is guaranteed on these obstacles!

First time I watched a trial/bmx demo firsthand. Impressed by both the balancing skills as well as how deflated the tyres were. Kenny ended the demo doing a front wheel-less bunny-hop off a full extended fork-lift...

Took this shot of a trial biker on the F1 circuit of Francorchamps in Belgium. They were making runs up & down the hills near the track.
