Red Bull Round Up 2008 - Let the Recutting begin!

This past weekend saw an amazing amateur event take place over the course of two days. Day one was a street course on the movie set of Chicago Town in Vancouver, while day two moved everything up to Whistler for a show down in the Boneyard. While the riders battled it out for two days, everything was getting captured on film by amateur videographers as well as some Red Bull assigned pros.

Now it's time to cut the footage up and submit your best ReCut from the weekend's event. Read more to learn all the details. (Links to over 200 pictures inside)The top riders from the weekend were:

1-Mitch Chubey
2-Graham Agassiz
3-Curtis Robinson
