Red Bull’s Metallicross Seeks New Home

Less than a month before it was scheduled to hit Atlanta, Red Bull’s Metallicross has been canceled. Red Bull didn’t have any explanation for the move, but did indicate that the unique competition would be rescheduled for the future.
“Red Bull strongly believes in this innovative and exciting motocross event concept and will pursue other options to make Red Bull Metallicross a reality in the future,” Red Bull’s statement read. “All registered competitors will be refunded in full and will be notified when a new date and location are determined.”
The contest, which was sanctioned by the American Motocross Association, was termed a “hybrid” competition combining traditional dirt MX racing with endurocross and arenacross. It was scheduled to take place at the abandoned Pullman Train Depot in Atlanta on Nov. 1.
The official site is still up at RedBullMetallicross.com and we’ll let you know when the event comes back around.
