The weather forecast for Cypress Mountain is throwing a spanner in the works for the first Canadian Red Bull Hardline. As conditions are expected to deteriorate, the organisers are bringing the final forward by one day: instead of Saturday, the winner will be decided on Friday, 16 October 2026, at 9.00 pm German time.
The seeding round is also brought forward and begins on Thursday evening. The live broadcast will be shown on Red Bull TV and the Red Bull Bike YouTube channel.
The new timetable in German time
Thursday, 15 October
- Training: 7.00 pm to 9.00 pm
Thursday 15 October to Friday 16 October
- Seeding: 23:00 to 02:00
Friday, 16 October
- Training: 7.00 pm to 8.30 pm
- Final: 9 pm to midnight
So this time, it’s not just the stopwatch that will decide the race – but the weather forecast as well.
Defending champion Asa Vermette has already shown that he’s prepared to do whatever it takes with this spectacular move.
