Over 50 of the world's best BMX athletes will do battle on a Chicago construction site this weekend in Red Bull Stomping Ground.
The building site in the heart of the Windy City will be hijacked for two days this weekend, as the planet's best dirt riders showcase their talents in one of America's busiest cities.
Dirt legend Fuzzy Hall has designed the course, which will come complete with diggers, cranes and other building equipment to create a truly unique environment for BMX competition.
The action begins on Friday, June 11 at Elston and Augusta in Chicago’s Riverwest area, with qualifiers for 32 invited riders. Each rider will have three runs at the course, with the top two runs contributing to the rider’s overall score.
The top 10 riders will then be placed in a 25-minute 'JAM' session and the five best given the chance to compete in the finals 24 hours later, along with 21 pre-qualified riders, making a total of 26 riders battling it out for the title on June 12.
Among those participating in the event are dirt riders Corey Bohan (pictured), Alejandro Caro, Kye Forte, Panagiotis Manaras and Janusz Pietruczuk.
