RED BULL EXPERIMENT: KEVIN ROBINSON

MSG will telecast the “Red Bull Experiment: Kevin Robinson” live from New York City’s Central Park this Thursday, June 12 at 8:00 p.m. The one-hour special will follow BMX legend Kevin Robinson as he attempts to break the Guinness World Record for the highest air ever on a BMX bike by soaring more than 26.5 feet above the top of a 27-foot-high ramp on his bike. To get that high, he will descend a 60-foot ramp to build up the necessary speed of approximately 40 mph. If successful, Robinson would fly about 54 feet above ground, or nearly six stories high.

Robinson is a star in the action sports world, having won seven medals at the X Games, including three gold medals. He is one of only a few athletes that has competed in every X Games since the inaugural event in 1995, and since then has grown into one of the most respected action sports stars of his generation.

The Red Bull Experiment seeks to give the world’s elite athletes the opportunity to push the boundaries of what might be humanly possible, while continuing the progression of their sports to unfathomable levels. The Red Bull Experiment provides these athletes with the tools necessary to realize their dreams and put them on show for the whole world to see. In success or failure, these experiments are poised to change the way the world thinks about what is possible.

Come on out or tune in to see if Kevin can set the world record! Red Bull First Team players are scheduled to appear.
