These titans of the dirt are not just returning; they’re coming back for their fourth consecutive year.

A Freeride Wonderland
Picture this: over 50 jumps, each one a leap into the unknown. Some stretch an astounding 185 feet (that’s over 56 meters!) in distance, while others rise to a heart-pounding 24 feet (over 7 meters!) in height. And it’s all sculpted from a staggering 65,000 cubic yards of earth. This is the very essence of Red Bull Imagination 4.0: where daring meets creativity on a monumental scale.
The Evolution Continues
But this year, there’s a twist in the tale. Red Bull Imagination 4.0 introduces a groundbreaking format. Gone are the days of solo performances. This year, it’s all about teamwork. Two teams, each consisting of five fearless riders, will go head-to-head in five freeride categories. From the best whip to the speed and style, and a spine-tingling team line category, the competition promises to be nothing short of epic.
As we gear up for the final showdown, the anticipation is palpable. The freeride world awaits with bated breath to witness these modern-day daredevils redefine what’s possible on two wheels.
Set your #mustwatchtv alarm for tomorrow October 8th, 4-5 PM EST, and make sure you’re tuned in to ESPN2 for the broadcast of Red Bull Imagination 4.0. It’s the ultimate showcase of human audacity, determination, and the unrelenting pursuit of the extraordinary. Get ready for a ride like no other!
