Red Bull Hardline just got bigger.
British Columbia, Canada’s westernmost province, joins Wales and Tasmania as the third location in the event's global expansion, pushing the progression of MTB into new territory.
The Red Bull Hardline British Columbia debut event takes place at Cypress Mountain, which rises above North Vancouver inside Cypress Provincial Park, a 30-minute drive from downtown Vancouver with views across the Salish Sea and the city below.
Covering a vast expanse of mountainous terrain, Cypress Mountain is home to some of the steepest and most technically demanding trails on the North Shore. It has never been a mountain that makes concessions, and Red Bull Hardline will be no exception.
Canadians Jackson Goldstone and Gracey Hemstreet have already been working closely with the Atherton brothers to design the Red Bull Hardline course design at Cypress Mountain. This unforgettable line will be incomparable to other downhill bike courses, with elements borrowed from dirt jumping and BMX that are not allowed in the World Cup and other UCI races.
These include massive jumps and gaps, steep drops of 10m plus, 'rock gardens', and steep descents. October in West Vancouver means cool temperatures, heavy rain and zero guarantees. Wet roots, slick rocks and rapidly changing conditions add a shot of pure adrenaline to an already unforgiving course.
