Red Bull recently announced the rider list for the upcoming Empire of Dirt. We should all know what the deal is by now with the Red Bull Empire of Dirt, so I’m going to spare you the “Riders are flying in from all over the globe” spiel and just list all of the invites.
Tentative list: Corey Bohan, Sergio Layos, Ruben Alcantara, Patrick Guimez, Alex Dropsy, Buddy Chelan, Bas Keep, Jon Taylor, Josh Elkington, Kye Forte, Leo Forte, Liam Elthan, Martin Murray, Mitch Yeates, Owain Clegg, Scott Edgworth, Toby Forte, Russel Ward, Chris Doyle, Darin Read, Gary Young, Taj Mehilich, Geoff Slatterly, Chase Hawk, Mike Aitken
More riders will likely be announced in the upcoming weeks, and we’ll let you know as soon as we know. For the meantime, The Red Bull Empire of Dirt is the world’s first slopestyle BMX event, designed by United’s Kye Forte, and happening on a hillside in Newton Abbot, UK on the weekend of July 25-25, 2008.
