Red Bull Hardline Maydena

[Stredda]

So the schedule says the event will be on Saturday starting at 1pm, finishing around 3pm. On Red Bull TV it says the live coverage starts at 6pm on February 25th. I'm confused. Has anyone seen literature saying it'll be a live telecast or is it a replay a few hours later?

From what I have heard it is live on site but delayed telecast. Enough time to edit all the swearing.

You are kind of right there. It's just the weather has been mint for weeks and goes to shit just on that weekend. The BOM do tend to be pessimistic with their forecasts so I'm hoping it's just an overnight shower with no wind, and she'll be mint!

Tassie 4 Seasons in one day.

Some light mud is probably better than the dust fest Tassie trails have been lately…

So nothing in the spectator info pack emailed to ticket holders about bikes for accessing spectator points like we did for EWS, so I guess we assume it’s a walk up deal.

Can confirm it would ride quite nicely with a couple of mms of rain each day.

Our recent trip, with 10mm on first day:

Reaching out to see if anyone has two spare tickets?

My work roster has changed so I now have Saturday off and my daughter is super keen to go.

Been haunting the socials (instagram) and it seems EVERYONE is super chuffed on the track.

Saying it's the best track they've ever ridden, etc.

Top work by the Maydena crew.

Reports on the track are great, reports on the tent village for the athletes is not so great. They are calling it Fyre Festival 2024.
Some good hits in BK's latest upload.

Don't forget the Gopro effect...

There are also vids from the side and the landings looking up. These features are seriously huuuuge!

Yes, BK didn't sound too impressed with "District 9"

Ed's raw commentary is pretty funny.

"he's rolled the milk truck" lol

BK definitely isn’t afraid of having a whinge.
Dating his super young employee has pushed things a little too far for me.

Will be interesting to see how the actual race goes, seems like there could be potential for a lot to go wrong inbetween features. Unreal track

I don't know the history, but I did wonder what the relationship was there.

It's pretty nuts. My biggest issue is what part of it am I going to watch it from?

Quite the dilemma, I don’t know where I’d park myself. Maybe the long, loamy off camber section.

Yeah the tent village looked a bit bleak in photos tbh, but short of hiring out a shitload of accommodation in New Norfolk and bussing people out and back every day there’s not much alternative… Especially when there’s also Nats DH happening, spectators etc so there’s a whole bunch of other people around too. Maydena isn’t a ski resort! I can’t imagine Rampage accom is particularly glamourous

Drop into berm looks at 12:00 in Ed’s video looks like it could be fun.

The milk truck corner! That would be cool, but there's the loose section just after that, all three of the big drops, a super fast highway section into off camber loam, and the monster features at the end of the course!
I can see I'll be doing plenty of hiking around the hill this weekend. I better pack plenty of Nuofen

Imagin that tent village if they get a few days of good Maydena rain! That wouldn't be fun.

Definitely some "grooming" going on there...

Could have done with a sprinkle early this week. Dry and dusty there on relatively new trails.

Hopefully not a mud fest this weekend.
