RED BULL STRAIGHT RHYTHM, NOTHING BUT TWO-STROKES FOR 2019

The 2019 Red Bull Straight Rhythm is in its sixth year running. It was held again at the Fairplex in Pomona. Daryl Ecklund and his helper, photographer Trevor Nelson got to the Fairplex early Saturday morning to browse through the pits to see what they could find. With names like Ken Roczen, Travis Pastrana, Ryan Villopoto, Jason Anderson, Cooper Webb and Cole Seely this was by far the best roster the Red Bell Straight Rhythm has ever seen.  Resist from drooling on your computer as you scroll through some of the coolest throwback two-stroke builds we have ever seen.
