Red Bull District Ride on September 9th/10th in Nuremberg • the 25 best athletes
worldwide • 40,000 spectators expected

Red Bull District Ride: The Legend Returns

Munich, February 7th, 2011 – After five long years of waiting, it is settled: The
Red Bull District Ride is coming back to Nuremberg! For years, fans have been
waiting, guessing and hoping – now it’s official.  On September 9th and 10th, the
most spectacular event in bike history will once again keep the 40,000 expected fans
of urban freeriding on their toes. The Red Bull District Ride is all about style and
speed: The riders tear down the track from start to finish as fast as their wheels
will carry them and show truly sensational tricks on the various obstacles along the
way. Just like in past years, the course snakes through the entire historic city
center with the obstacles in various districts definitely being an extreme challenge
– even to the world’s best 25 riders.

The last time the Red Bull District Ride called the absolute riding elite of the
freeride mountain bike scene to Nuremberg was in 2006. The freeride sport was still
young and witnessing what the athletes could do with a “regular” mountain bike, many
of the 40,000 spectators could not believe their eyes. However, that performance is
sure to be outdone since the sport has gone through a rapid development. Tarek
Rasouli, initiator and sports director of the event says: “The level of tricks has
risen dramatically and is higher than ever before – meaning that we can expect some
unprecedented biking action. Furthermore, since the Red Bull District Ride also
represents the final event of the FMB World Tour, the riders will show their best
performance to score maximum points for the world ranking.” 

Starting at the venerable emperor’s castle “Kaiserburg” , in 2011 riders will once
again drop into the course over a gigantic castle wall drop that can boast to be the
only one of its kind in the world. After that, the athletes cover roughly one
kilometre in about 90 seconds, until they arrive at the finish on the market square.
On their way, they’ll not only have crossed Nuremberg’s city center but will also
have traversed the different variations of the mountain bike freeride sport – with
the crowd watching right beside the course. “The participants and all young
spectators of every age will definitely enjoy themselves this year. Personally, I’m
looking forward to a contest with lots of excitement and pure biking action”, says
Nuremberg’s mayor Dr. Ulrich Maly. 

After only three editions in 2005 and 2006, the Red Bull District Ride has already
achieved a legendary status in the scene and is still fresh in the minds of the
locals. For the new edition coming up in September, the organizers are intending to
surprise riders as well as fans once again with a monumental course design.
