“Everyone’s a little nervous. They don’t know how to handle it yet. Which is good. You can’t just have the same comfort zone run all the time.” — Ben Fergson
Building on last year’s platform, the Red Bull Double Pipe continues to offer an alternative to traditional pipe events, forcing riders to break away from the standard runs they developed and think outside the walls. To understand why we arrived at the Double Pipe setup and what it means for competitive pipe riding we talked with competition director Liam Griffin, contest veteran Louie Vito, and up-and-comer Ben Ferguson.
Double Pipe will air as part of the Red Bull Signature Series via livestream March 12th at 11:30am PT/2:30pm ET on TWSNOW.com, and as a full-length broadcast March 14th at 1 p.m. ET on NBC (check local listings for West Coast times).
