American teenager Asa Vermette dominated to become the youngest-ever winner of the Red Bull Hardline in North Wales, while Louise Ferguson became the first woman to complete a full run from start to finish.

RACE ROUTE

After Canadian duo Jackson Goldstone and Gracey Hemstreet triumphed at the second edition of Red Bull Hardline Tasmania in February, 32 of the world’s best riders descended on Dyfi Valley this week to try and conquer a challenging course featuring huge jumps, drop-offs and technical challenges.
Over 3.000 spectators showed up to the sold-out event in changeable weather conditions to watch riders tackle sections like the infamous “Road Gap” jump, and spirits were high on practice day.

ppgad@pucrs.br I am passionate about everything that has 2 wheels: in my youth I practiced competitive cycling on the road and on the track with good results. At the age of 18 I moved to cross country competing at national/international level as U23. Once I passed Elite, I made the choice to take things easier from the training point of view, and that's how my love for gravity disciplines was born, training as an FCI MTB instructor and guide. Now I have made my passion my profession by managing 3 MTB centers on the island of Elba (Elba MTB), creating the FANTAmtb and telling in an ironic but professional way, everything that revolves around MTB thanks to 365mountainbike and 365TV (YouTube 'PULITI dentro BIKER fuori').
