Red Bull released the design for the 2008 Red Bull Empire of Dirt course earlier today. From the looks of things, it doesn’t seem to have changed too much from last year’s design, which, by all accounts, was amazingly designed and expertly tailored. According to Red Bull, “The innovative and downright scary course will take almost three months to finish.”
According to head designer Kye Forte, “The route of the course is fairly similar to last year, just bigger and better. We decided to keep almost all of the major features including the huge dirt pipe and the big curve wall ride. One of the exciting new areas is the elevated quarter pipe, which also has a large bridge ledge. I think it’s going to be the gnarliest part of the course! This year’s course has been designed with more of a divide between the dirt and street side. There really is something for all the riders.”
