Red Bull Mini Drome Vancouver

Poster for the Mini Drome

Red Bull Mini Drome is the ultimate arena to showcase your single speed cycling skills. A scaled down velodrome was constructed for the sole purpose of seeing who can complete ten laps in the shortest time.

Cyclists will take their street skills to the track in a test of mental stamina, technical precision and raw strength. From its roots across the pond, in England, Red Bull Mini Drome will take its debut laps in Canada with stops in Montreal QC, Toronto ON, and Vancouver BC.

Red Bull Mini Drome brings skill, speed, balance, and bravado together on a steep and shrunken version, far from the traditional velodrome, to give competitors the most challenging and treacherous ride of their lives.

All registrants will get a time trial at which point the top riders will be placed in a bracket to go head to head with each other until there is only one cyclist left to be crowned victorious.

 The Red Bull circus is coming to town. My money is on the monkeys, they've been training for years. The Hamsters actually have better cadence and form, but they have a severe physical disadvantage because their legs are so short.

 Before another hater embarrasses themselves with a NEG. Comment. You should know that at one of the last running of this event DANNY MACASKILL was in the crowd watching as CHRIS AKRIGG tore that S ,, T UP. So if two of the most talented ,innovative, most viewed riders of our sport can still have fun on manual powered two wheels no matter what size shape , form , or ,discipline, RESPECT.

 Seriously, what exactly is the draw to PBR by hipsters? I mean there are plenty of nostalgic beers they could be drinking....schlitz, schaeffer's, etc....I think PBR tastes like the can it's in, just IMO

 How about you take yourself off of pinkbike, right now? 2 wheels are 2 wheels, no matter what their size or gearing. Have a little respect.
