I like they are doing these type of events but I have to say given they would be spending well North of $200k to organise this I am stunned by how poor their communication has been.
I still haven't been able to figure out who exactly is competing. I know Koester and Stone are additional to 4 people that have pre-qualified. But I only know that because I happen to see it on their Facebook / Instagram feeds.
I am amazed a company like Red Bull would do such a poor job at comms. Even more so given how well publicised it was in the past.

That's from 2 odd years ago...Current media can only be found in the Red Bull Content Pool:

They have done this a few times now and the team behind it from my understanding has been the same. That said the conditions they are looking at today will be pretty epic.
