EVENT: RED BULL BEACH SCRAMBLE

It’s been 20 years since we covered a proper beach race in North America. Decades ago we had the Rosarito beach race in Baja, the Pismo beach race in California, and the Virginia Beach race on the East Coast. Leave it to Red Bull to bring the exciting concept back to the U.S. and the shores of the Atlantic Ocean. This time, 100 side-by-sides would tackle the new venue in the tourist area of Wildwood, New Jersey. Wildwood has hosted dirt bike and ATV races in the past, but for this one-day event, it was all side-by-sides and the who’s who of the Red Bull athletes who showed up, along with about 40 regulars from the AWRCS series and a bunch of locals wanting to be a part of the inaugural Red Bull Beach Scramble.



Wildwood is just down the beach from Atlantic City, which is known for its huge boardwalk, amusement parks and the summer hot spot for residents of Philadelphia and surrounding areas. With the help from the USAC, the Red Bull crew constructed a great two-mile layout between the busy boardwalk and the waves of the Atlantic.


Short-course specialists the Miller brothers made the trek from Texas, and each took a heat race win. However, it was Hunter with the main-event win after having to fend off Corbin Leaverton for the entire seven-lap race. Just out of their roost was Cody Bradbury also making the nearly 3000-mile trip from Southern California worthwhile. Let this photo gallery help you imagine the sights, sounds and ocean smells of the exciting action of the inaugural Red Bull Beach Scramble.
