Red Bull Metro Pipe

Posted on April 5, 2012 by Steve Aitchison

The contest was the brainchild of Sergio Layos, who worked with Red Bull to turn this busy Metro station into a unique BMX contest which played host to 15,000 spectators over the weekend. Red Bull's newest rider, Kriss Kyle, also managed to clinch 3rd place with his partner Jason Phelan. The station that is normally filled with screeching trains and scurrying commuters was filled with the more natural screeching of the enthusiastic crowd that cheered on the 10 participating pairs through an incredible show on the challenging BMX track. Spain's David ‘Naran’ Peñafiel and Czech Michael Beran pulled off the victory with outstanding technique and style with Naran scoring with a Backflip Superman and Beran superbly nailing a Flair Tailwhip and Wallride Tailwhip. Coming second were Spain's Perico and Alistair Whitton of the United States while Brits Kris Kyle and Jason Phelan took third. Click the image below to check out the video... Be sure to check out this article by Albion contributor George Marshall who documented how difficult it was to get to this spot and how cool it is that Red Bull were able to secure such an awesome place for a contest.

The more imaginative the better Counting down from 10th position to 1st position, here is our selection of the best... In 10th position - because he was the first! Steven Aitchison: "For the competition page. I can imagine myself doing something i've always wanted to do but haven't yet. I'd love to go on a ice waterfall climbing mission. Being in the cold and frosty tundra's of another country (or Scotland as its beautiful and the UK is getting colder winters all the time) with a small crew of my best friends, nothing but the essentials, a camera to document it all and some good banter and hot food and drinks. I've got a image of what it looks like in my head but describing it would probably fill up more than what Facebook allows you to put in a wall post. Nothing but the great outdoors and the crisp, fresh-air, blue skys and white landscapes of the place that i've yet visited but will one day." In 9th position - because we love extreme ironing Simone Lee: "mountain rock climbing carrying an ironing board" … Continue reading →
