10 years ago | Photos: Red Bull Content Pool

The first eight riders to compete in the inaugural Red Bull Straight Rhythm event have been confirmed. The eight names are just the first of 32 riders that will compete in the innovative, head-to-head competition on Saturday, October 4 at Auto Club Raceway in Pomona, California. The prize purse has been set at $100,000.

Action sports icon, Travis Pastrana, 2012 AMA MX champ, Ryan Dungey, and one of the most accomplished riders in the sport’s history, James Stewart, headline this initial list of eight confirmed participants which also includes Josh Hansen, Josh Hill, Cole Seely, Dean Wilson and Australia’s Brett Metcalfe, all racing in the event’s Open Class.

“I think I can safely speak for the entire group of riders in saying how excited I am about the opportunity to compete in this man-against-man, win-or-go-home situation,” said Stewart. “Straight Rhythm is a fresh take on the traditional format, and the fact that it’s bringing out guys like Travis Pastrana says what a truly unique opportunity it is.”

The balance of participating riders will be announced in the weeks to come.
