This weekend BMX contests went to a whole new level with Red Bull Dreamline held at Coffee Mill Ski Resort in rural Minnesota. Straying from the traditional contest format Anthony Napolitan and Red Bull put together this project to promote progression of the sport by the riders pushing each other to try big tricks.

Here's the official contest recap from Red Bull.

Luke Parslow put on a non-stop BMX dirt showcase to win the top spot with a barrage of flip tricks. In a flawless two hour session he blasted a 360 backflip, a backflip tailwhip and a double backflip. That was enough to earn the respect of his fellow riders, who awarded him the prize in a contest Parslow called, "the best contest since Red Bull Elevation."

A first of its kind, Red Bull Dream Line features an unrestricted trails-style course that sent riders to skies and back down again. Sixteen riders hit 13 perfectly groomed jumps in a self-judged contest that encouraged skill and creativity, like Mike 'Hucker' Clark's opposite truck downside 360 whip, a trick which has rarely been seen before.

Red Bull Dream Line project was conceived by BMX pro Anthony Napolitan as way to privately train and develop his tricks. Given six weeks and complete freedom to develop and groom the course to their liking, builders Adam Aloise and Dave King (who previously worked on Red Bull Elevation) began to shape Anthony's private playground. The course proved to be so amazing he couldn't keep it to himself, and devised the contest to invite 16 of the worlds best BMX dirt riders to session and see what could be done on a course that includes a 35ft step-up and a first-of-its-kind near vert berm gap named "the shark fin". Top names in the sport made the trip to Wabasha to see the dream in person, including Red Bull Stomping Ground winner Brandon Dosch, young star Dennis Enerson, and sport legends like Chris Doyle, Cory Nastazio and Brian Foster.

The self-judged format allowed riders complete freedom to judge with no set criteria. On Friday, September 23rd, sixteen riders competed in two heats of eight. The eight athletes in the non-riding heat judged their peers. The top eight moved on to Saturday's Finals. During a 45-minute jam, Enerson landed a 270 tailwhip on "the shark fin" and Parslow and Hucker both closed down the session with a double backflip on a massive 35ft step-up.

While there is prize money up for grabs, the goal of the contest is take a step back and enjoy riding with freedom from timed runs and the pressure of live TV, on a course that had no rules or constraints. For Napolitan, the event proved to be a dream come true, "This contest made a huge impact on BMX dirt, the riders are psyched and I couldn't be more happy."

Watch Dennis Enarson, Ronnie Napolitan, Cory Nastazio, and Colin Mackay hit up skateparks, dirt jumps, and street spots all over Australia from last year. Over 20 minutes of awesome BMX footage and even some extreme bodyboarding... For sure.

This month's issue of BMX Plus! brings us some features from ODI on the road, Nasty holding a dirt jam, and some BMX action from the ABA Nationals. Click the cover to visit their website for more:

Cory Nastazio has thrown a big party for Stephen before, but Nasty is a man fond of outdoing himself. This event sounds like the event of all events. Keep reading for a rundown of the activities from Cory himself and more details of the event:

"Everyone is invited, it's a benefit for Stephen Murray. There's going to be eight Rockstar bars, DJs, heated pool party, Jose Cuervo shoot girls, best trick comp, $10,000 up for grabs--top three paid out. The three jumps are amazing, with a nine-foot quarter at the end--so big and fun it will be the best party/comp I have put together. Filmed by Fuel and VH1...You don't want to miss it..." - Cory Nastazio

The event is January 15, 2011 and starts at 3 pm. The contest will start after sundown. Admission is $10. All money from admissions and drinks goes directly to Stephen Murray.

The event is located at 27215 Avenida Del Diablo in Temecula, CA. The event's sponsors are Rockstar, Cuervo, Vans, and Haro so you know it is going to be off the hook...

Josh Stead is putting in hardcore work at Nasty's personal training facility in the windy city (not Chicago). These jumps are simply huge and his double backflip was gnarly. That trick, man... Jeesh.
