Red Bull Straight Rhythm is an evolution of the sport of supercross, where riders race dirt bikes head-to-head on an ½ mile “unwound” straight track with no turns.
The event has built off of that premise and transformed into a celebration of years gone by, with riders racing 20 year-old two-stroke dirt bikes and donning vintage-inspired gear. As it takes place at the end of the supercross/motocross race calendar with no race series points at stake, the event is just a great time – for riders and spectators alike.
Held at Fairplex in Pomona, Ca, the event featured only two-stroke motorcycles – older technology machines that have a fervent fanbase even though they are no longer used in professional racing.
In addition, a special one-off exhibition race featured action sports hero Travis Pastrana racing Tyler Bowers on massive 500cc bikes. Pastrana, true to form, couldn’t help himself from throwing backflips on every run of the race.
Once the dust settled, it was Ken Roczen, who was perfect throughout the night - never losing a matchup, taking the 250cc title.
In the 125cc class, Joey Crown lived up to his name, racing his way to the top step of the podium and in the most anticipated and exciting match of the night, Tyler Bowers edged out Travis Pastrana in the Maxxis 500cc Showdown.

Hey 2-Stroke fans! We hope you enjoyed Red Bull Straight Rhythm this year, we had a blast! We'd like you to let us know what you liked about the event this year, and comment on what we can do to improve on it next time!
-
Already can’t wait for next year!👍🏼
-
One of my favorite events!
-
2-strokes are the greatest! Let's get them back everywhere and get the major manufacturers innovating them. Nothing more exciting than seeing the 500s
-
Travis is like that goofy dad you see at the race track, till he gets on a bike lol.
-
Some day, I hope we get to see a field of pro riders on 2 strokes again.
-
Somebody save supercross and bring back the 2 strokes
-
that onboard mic on the bikes sounds like crap, sounds like someones using a 30cc 2stroke whipper snipper
-
Well done red bull, this is such an awesome event. 2 Stroke only - it's what the people want to see. You guys are killing it, far more interesting than the AMA!
-
SKIP to @1:46:20 for the 500 2 stroke
-
I'm so old, there were no competitive 4-strokes even in the desert where I raced. I had a 1991 Kawasaki KX500 beast! 😁
-
As a 2 stroke rider in his 40s I love this event 👍🏻 great to see old and young, pros, former pros, amateurs and Ronnie Mac 🤣. More 500 riders next year please. Someone get Mac a Honda 500 !!
-
Anyone during covid19 pandemics??
-
1:23:54 "Are you f*cking kidding meeee?" hahaha
-
The onboard audio makes me feel like I’m playing excitebike
-
I got this as an ad and I laughed cause it was 3 HOURS LONG.
-
NOTHING IS BETTER THAN A PACK OF OLD SCHOOL 2 STROKES! HANDS DOWN THE BEST SOUND EVER!!!!!!!!
-
They should do a 85/ supermini class next year that would be so sick watching some kids battle
-
Need a legends class next year. Get the king and fro back out there.
