Hardline BC tickets available
We are excited to share with you that we have officially announced tickets are available for Red Bull Hardline British Columbia!
The wildest weekend in mountain biking is about to hit Canada. Red Bull Hardline British Columbia is heading to Cypress Mountain in West Vancouver between October 16-17, 2026, pushing the limits of what's possible on two wheels. 2026 marks the 12th year of Red Bull Hardline since its inception in Wales in 2014, and the first-ever race in Canada promises another unmissable showdown as the world's most progressive male and female MTB riders push the limits on one of the most extreme courses in the sport.
TICKET INFORMATION OVERVIEW:
Important: Due to the venue location and limited parking capacity, there are only two ways spectators can access the event.
Option 1: Carpool Vehicle Ticket (valid for parking and general admission for up to 8 people, including the driver)
One ticket covers one vehicle carrying up to 8 people (including the driver). Gather your crew and split the cost of travel to the event.
Option 2: Cypress Coach Lines Bus + General Admission (single ticket)
Round-trip bus transportation to Cypress Mountain
One (1) single day general admission ticket
Ride sharing (e.g. Uber) or self-arranged pickup/drop-offs are not permitted.
We will continue to share all information including Ticket Info, FAQs and newsletter updates on redbull.ca/hardline so continue to visit for up to date information.
Presumably, there are actually 3 ways to access the event as you can always ride your bike.

Outside of being surprised that the shuttle option was more expensive than the car pool i think this is a pretty good way to handle it. Cypress has one road in and out so if they allowed everyone just to drive up without tickets it would cause a massive bottleneck.
It should come back, I think they're doing it again next year and holding off on Wales
Hope so, They posted this on their facebook:
"Major events update-
After several years of delivering national and world-level events for others, we have made the decision to move ahead in a different direction in 2027, with a brand-new major event of our own. Next week we will be launching a new event where we have the creative freedom to bring new ideas and a fresh take on gravity mountain bike events to life.
For the past few months, we have been working on something new. A mountain bike event that is more of a revolution, than an evolution. This new event will bring World Champions, World Cup Winners, and Red Bull Hardline winners together on a course like no other, with a brand-new model for global mountain bike event broadcasting.
TLDR: The race will use most of the Red Bull Hardline course, but with added focus on rider safety and weather-proofing of many sections. Rider numbers will be low with 25 invited riders (including both male and female riders) + 5 local wild cards who will act as reserves during the week. There's impressive potential for a big payday for both male and female riders (as an example, if 150K people pay to watch the event live, the athletes will share an $800K prize pool with over $100K going to the winners). The cost to view the event will be a one-off fee of about $10 USD for the early bird pricing (the event will be broadcast "as live" about 3 hours after the end of the race, which will allow for "schedule optimization to maximize live viewership potential").
What do you think of it? Will you pay to watch? Is there a future for this kind of event model?

Worth noting- broadcast pricing is planned to start at ~$10 USD (depending on exchange rate at the time). This won’t be a normal race broadcast as you know it- we are building out a full show, and when racing goes live we’ll have 40+ cameras on course.

There was a bit of chatter on the other site where they talked about how riding in was not going to be an option.
I’d absolutely take the bus. Sounds rad!
It's a bummer hardline Maydena is no more, I was looking forward to a proper global series.

The road up is undergoing a 3 month paving project and has been closed for riding up since mid July .

Here we go, the all-new "Beyond Gravity" race in Maydena has just been announced, with a new event model that aims to provide a generous prize purse and a share in broadcast revenues for the athletes.
