Spectrum: [Photo story] Red Bull District Ride 2017 in Nuremberg – slopestyle spectacle in front of a great backdrop

September 3, 2017 by the editorial office

MTB News: It's that time again! After a long time, the legendary Red Bull District Ride took place again in Nuremberg. A beautiful old town is being converted into a slopestyle course and thus a playground for the best of the best.

After major concerns about the weather, the time table was tweaked and the second qualifying round was moved to Saturday morning. And Peter remains merciful: the weather holds.
94.000 visitors follow the spectacle live. There will be the first 1440 and the first double frontflip. And a Superman double backflip, or backflip Superman late backflip. In general, you had your problems counting or guessing the trick and the rotations. Was that just two barspins? Or three? Four were also made. 360 back flip? Or maybe Cork 720? No Twisters! Difficult, but didn't detract from it, quite the opposite. The spectators were really offered something and without paying admission. Hats off to Red Bull, you guys know how to throw a party!

This is how the track started: the step down from the Kaiserburg. Here with a bunny hop backflip.


The Box District has been flipped many times. time with…
... and sometimes without hands.

After that, you can't pedal hard enough if you...
... soooo massively wants to shoot out of the hip in the Jeep the Rhythm District.
Less is more: Stylish 360.

It could be a 360 backflip, Szymon Godziek knows best.


The last jump was a very impressive scenery. Flip Double Whip
At 38, the oldest participant: Ryan Nyquist.


These gentlemen made it possible: The shaper crew around Markus Hampl and Benni Paulsen.


Winner of the Best Trick Contest on Friday and Saturday won the whole thing: Nicholi Rogatkin!


He really got his buddies fired up: Emil Johansson was very close second.
The winning move: 1440!! Two 720s, or four 360s.
