First Person
Do you have what it takes to be RB First Person?
Air and tear. Slams and cams. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to be a Red Bull athlete, this is your chance. We’re on the hunt for Red Bull’s First Person! That means all the action of Red Bull athletes from the best perspective: doing it yourself with their bike, their ride and their board.
Just make a one-minute video telling us why you deserve to be First Person and what your dream experience would be. Then let the voting begin. Apps due soon!

The Details
Here's the Nitty Gritty.
It’s pretty sweet watching Travis Pastrana back flip a dirtbike – or seeing Kirby Chambliss rip an 11G turn, but its even better in person... doing it yourself. You’ll learn from the world’s best --- Red Bull athletes --- and then be turned loose right there on site. This is your chance to test waters, tracks and air like nobody else!
To apply, create a short one-minute video that lets the world know why we should pick you to be Red Bull First Person and what your dream run would be. It can be about anything: what you want to learn, what athlete you’d be stoked to learn from, why you should get voted to do this or just any ol’ thing that gets our attention. But you have to tell us why you're First Person material.
Once all the applications are in, we’ll open it up for voting. Check out your competition and start spreading the word to your friends. Get them to vote you up. Heck, vote for yourself! We’ll watch the videos fall into pecking order; the public will choose the top 10 finalists and then we’ll select our favorite five to become our athlete in training for insane First Person experiences.
And see that little countdown timer in the upper left-hand corner there? Yeah, you better hurry. Get those videos in!
The Winners
And Here's Just the Grit.
Once selected, all of our Red Bull First Persons will get a very special phone. Think of it as your Bat Phone. You’ll need to keep this on your body at all times, because once it rings you’ll have just a few hours until we snag you from your ordinary life and drop you into the middle of the Red Bull world.
You’re going to be put through some unbelievable training by our athletes. That means Pastrana could be training you how to navigate a rally car track, or Brian Vickers teaching you how to floor it through Turn 3. What you do and where you go as First Person will be a mystery up until the last minute. Yeah… we’re getting goose bumps too.
But the only way to be a part of all this is to get your video application in by the deadline. Sure, you’ve got lots of course work you should be doing, but seriously… what would you rather learn? Clocks ticking.
