Mt. Bachelor is gearing up for the fifth-annual Redline Rally, Central Oregon’s premier downhill bike event.
Ahead of Saturday’s action-packed event, here’s part of an awesome interview the Bachelor team sent to us with one of the local riders excited for this weekend!
“Redline Rally is basically an invitation-only event. It’s on Saturday, August 30th at Mt. Bachelor. It’s where a lot of the local riders, like the pros and really good groms, come out and just throw their best tricks,” said Hunter Michelsen, a local Bend rider. “Basically, there’s this big jump at the bottom that’s called ‘Moon Booter’. You could take this trail called Evergreen, which is a hiking trail for anybody who wants to watch. It would go up that trail and you could just see this big jump with a whole bunch of people just watching it. It’s a really fun event. I’m really stoked to be in it. Everybody should come on out. It’s a really fun time.”
As Hunter mentioned, spectators are encouraged to gather at the Moon Booter jump, where judges will hand out prizes for style, whips, and overall tricks.
