Red Bull Hardline returns to Wales’ Dyfi Valley July 15 -16 for the ninth edition of the event.
The Red Bull Hardline course is again designed by Dan Atherton and will follow on from last year's event where huge 86ft gaps were added in for riders to hit in their race runs. It will be interesting to see which riders attend this year's race as it falls during the middle of the World Cup season instead of its normal spot at the end of the race season in late September.
The event continues to be a
Gold Standard Trash Free Trails event with attendees encouraged to bring their own water bottles, race marshalls collecting litter left along the course and areas for old kit to be donated to a local youth cycling project.
Tickets for the event are available now
here.

Will the DH racers risk their season?
No bikes
No chairs
No branded coffee cups ( like the TV camera's are going to notice a random spectator holding a starbucks and lose revenue lmao)
I'd certainly prefer it if it was last year's prices, but it's basically £2.50 more per person if you have a car full of people going. That's not nothing, but it's also not too much.
You could just watch it at home, but seeing people fling themselves over the road gap and hit the other features in person is wild. It's basically the same as watching a World Cup on TV vs in real life. It's not the same experience. It might get rained off or be a bit anticlimactic like it was last year, or it might be awesome. You never know but that's kind of the point of live events.
£20 for a ticket is good. They are doing this to incentivise car sharing…. I thinks its a really good idea.
