The Red Bull Signature Series brings together events that showcase the next level in action sports, featuring the sports of snowboarding, freeskiing, surfing, motocross, off-road truck racing, mountain biking, BMX and enduro. The unique programming showcases course and competition concepts straight from the minds of the athletes themselves.

New programming as part of the 2014 Red Bull Signature Series includes:
Red Bull Double Pipe presented by Dodge Dart, April 12 at 2 p.m. E.T.:
At the base of Buttermilk Mountain in Aspen, Colo., the world’s best snowboarders aim to progress their sport on two competition-spec halfpipes constructed side-by-side, complete with rails, wallrides, channels and other unique features placed throughout the custom built course. The first-of-its-kind course design will allow riders to transfer back and forth between the two halfpipes in a single run, highlighting creativity and developing new tricks and combinations never seen before.
Red Bull Straight Rhythm presented by Dodge Dart, October 25 at 4 p.m. E.T.:
The world’s top dirt bike riders go head-to-head on an “unwound” supercross track. In this drag-race-on-dirt format, the turns are “straightened out” into a beautiful half-mile-long straight rhythm section. By isolating the whoops, triples, doubles, table tops and step on/offs, riders must focus exclusively on reading the terrain directly in front of them, correctly judging their speed for precise distance and control.
