To celebrate Halloween weekend Red Bull put on their third annual Halloween themed BMX contest in Brooklyn, NY. This year's "Live or Die" new format featured heats of six riders, where only the top two riders advanced.

32 of the best BMX riders donned costumes while attacking a creative course that featured Halloween-themed obstacles from a curved grim reaper rail box to tricked-out coffins.

With midtown Manhattan in the background, top honors went to Jackson, New Jersey native Scotty Cranmer, who was recently crowned Dew Tour overall champion, and second to the Bronx's Pablo Nunez, whose first contest ever was Red Bull Trick or Treat and Sean Ricany, who's sixteen years was enough to compete against the big dogs. Best trick honors went to Zac Costa, whose footjam nosepick on the RIP quarter was the night's best.



"It's an amazing honor to ride well here and I appreciate getting to participate as a semi-local since I'm from New Jersey," says Cranmer, Red Bull Trick or Treat's 2010 and 2011 champion. "It's not just another contest. Getting dressed up loosens the mood and helps get people excited about BMX."
