Red Bull Tricycles Race 2012

The third Red Bull Tricycles Race in a row is taking place in Belgrade, in Višnjićeva street, on September 15th starting at noon. The unofficial slogan of the race is “Make a tricycle and hit the downhill”.

Around 64 brave contesters will be showing their skills at the fastest track till now with their new tricycles that will have to go faster than others in order to qualify for the next round of the competition. They will be competing in teams of 4.

The Tricycle race is considered to be “original Serbian extreme sport” that originated from the tradition of making and riding tricycles in Belgrade during the fifties and the sixties of the last century.

The first Red Bull Tricycles Race was held in 2008, and the second in 2012. At this year’s race, Nikola Vučković, the winner of the last race, will be defending his champion title. Besides him, his younger brother Miroslav, the winner of the race in 2008, will have the opportunity to win back the title.

The most interesting thing about this sport is the creativity of making tricycles. Several boards, screws, a steering wheel, three small wheels, a little bit of imagination, courage, skill and love for extreme sports is all you need for great fun in Dobračina street.

But it is also necessary to apply for the competition, so everyone who would like to participate in this race can apply at the site www.redbull.rs. When making a tricycle, competitors must keep in mind that the size of a tricycle must be within the dimensions 60×80 cm, with three wheels with diameter up to 10 cm and with a steering wheel.
