An under-rotated backflip or a pedal slipping on take-off, and the rider lands flat or hits the lip of the feature. Wrists, ankles, shoulders and head take the hit. Medical costs are covered up to €150,000, from scans to surgery and the hospital stay that follows.
Getting hurt in the Netherlands when you live in Spain, Canada or France means hospital, transfer and a trip home. Assistance and repatriation at actual cost organise evacuation from the course area, then your return home as soon as doctors give the green light.
Every District Ride run is scored by judges, which makes it a competition in its own right. The Competition option covers your participation in the official event and in all your slopestyle competitions this season, training sessions included.
A fall from the top of a feature can injure the spine, pelvis or head. If lasting effects remain, the permanent disability capital of up to €200,000 is paid according to the assessed rate and helps fund a new way of living.
On an urban slopestyle course, features are huge and run-ins short. Wind funnelling between buildings can push a rider off line mid-air, a summer shower makes ramps slippery, and the pressure of 100,000 spectators tempts you into one trick too many. Fatigue from repeated practice runs does the rest.
Away from the big contests, a rider spends the year in bike parks, on dirt jump spots and in downhill sessions. Downhill and slopestyle mountain bike insurance protects you at every session, at home and abroad, all season long, with the same guarantees for medical care, assistance and disability.
Red Bull District Ride is an urban slopestyle competition held in Groningen, in the Netherlands. In July, professional riders link jumps, drops and tricks on features set up in the city centre, in front of a crowd of around 100,000 spectators.
Running a slopestyle contest or a one-day freestyle show? We insure all your riders with a single policy. Medical assistance is reachable day and night, 24/7, during the event, and repatriation is included anywhere in the world. We can also partner with your event or sponsor it.
Yes. Practice and qualifying sessions on the course are covered just like the final. A crash while trying a trick the day before the contest falls under exactly the same guarantees.
Yes. AxeoSport insures athletes whatever their country of residence. You might live in Brazil, Germany or France: the guarantees apply in Groningen just as they do on your other trips.
No. AxeoSport is not cancellation insurance, so flights and accommodation remain at your expense. The policy covers the consequences of the accident itself: medical care, assistance, repatriation and disability capital.
On-site medical teams step in first, then AxeoSport assistance takes over: transfer to hospital, medical follow-up and repatriation at actual cost if needed. Treatment is covered up to €150,000 under the policy terms.
