Rewatch the best freeriders in the world take on the most INSANE course in Fort Scott, Kansas. [Full show originally aired on September 25, 2022 on ESPN in U.S. and Red Bull T.V. outside U.S.] Red Bull Imagination is the ultimate freeride event and its third year bigger was bigger and badder than ever. #RedBullImagination For this year’s course, the goal was to create a dirtbike freeride area that mimicked a skatepark. “There’s a ton of inspiration from other action sports,” Bereman said. “My whole goal with this is a dirt bike skatepark with so many jumps you can’t hit them all in a three minute run. I want to set it up like a skate contest where you have to pick your lines through a dirt skatepark,” he added. With inspiration from mountain bike contests like the Red Bull Rampage, and snowboard contests like Red Bull Natural Selection, Bereman hopes to mimic the style of action sports contests that offer riders more options and creative lines to express themselves while still competing.

The level of respect between the riders at Red Bull Imagination is like no other contest, which continues to elevate the sport to where it is today. 2nd Place - Tyler Bereman As Bereman made his way to the opening jump on his run, the crowd could see what he was lining up for — the biggest jump on the course. Not only was it the biggest jump at 180 feet long, but a jump that wasn’t even thought possible during the course build. The wind barreled and Bereman proceeded to the 180 foot jump in third gear, giving it everything the bike had. As he cleared the line with ease, the crowd erupted as they knew this run was going to get good. 3rd Place - Julien Vanstippen Vanstippen opened his run with a huge 130 foot backflip, and laid out three more backflips to follow. As he whipped his way around the courses, he approached the end of his run with a large turn-up whip for the crowd. Vanstippen said, “I didn’t ride any dirt jumps (in Belgium), but all the jumps are so good here it gave me confidence for the run.” Congrats to this year's crew!! ______ Experience the world of Red Bull Motorsports like you have never seen it before.
