Red Bull Straight Rhythm
Oct 22, 2016
Fairplex grandstand/infieldRETURNS!
An evolution of the sport of supercross, Red Bull Straight Rhythm features an "unwound" track where there are no turns, just a half-mile straight rhythm section. By isolating just the whoops, triples, doubles, table tops and step on/offs, riders must focus on reading the terrain directly in front of them and correctly judging their speed for precise distance and control.
The event this year brings a more familiar aspect of supercross into the mix: the stadium lights. The final battles at Straight Rhythm will take place under the floodlights of Fairplex in Pomona, as the world's best 250 and 450 riders fight for the right to party as the champion of Red Bull Straight Rhythm.
NEW for 2016 - full track access/new course design/finals under the lights
$25 general admission tickets until July 1
$135 VIP pricing only until July 1
After July 1
$35 general admission
$150 VIP

Ren's did you know?
This 1912 church building is an excellent example of the Gothic Revival style of architecture and is probably the best in the City of Ontario. Significant architectural features include its irregular shaped plan and split stone construction, gables with arched, lancet, stained-glass windows, a central square corner bell tower with decorative vents, and arched lanced entrances. The Harwood stain...ed-glass windows were removed from the congregation’s first church building (located on Holt Boulevard and Palm Avenue). Oak pews, paneling, and stair rails adorn the interior along with a 1930 Pilcher organ. The congregation was organized in 1885 by founding members including the Chaffey family. #125to125 #CelebrateOntario See More
Giants left fielder Angel Pagan tackles activist on field during game against Dodgers
SAN FRANCISCO (KABC) --
Giants left fielder Angel Pagan body-slammed an activist who ran onto the field into the outfield grass at AT&T Park during the fourth inning against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday night.A female activist was also taken down by security in shallow right field. The two, who are with the grassroots animal rights network Direct Action Everywhere, were presenting white flowers to Dodgers and Giants players. Both were removed from the field.
The male activist approached catcher Buster Posey, who with his left arm shoved the man to the ground. The man jumped up and ran and third baseman Gordon Beckham swiped at him before he took off into left field. Pagan offered a hand as if to accept the flower before throwing both arms around the man, twisting him and throwing him to the ground.
The activists wanted to draw attention to a piglet named Miley the activists rescued from the farm that supplies the famed "Dodger Dogs," according to a press release from Direct Action Everywhere.
The group said their investigation found rampant disease, extreme crowding, and mass usage of antibiotics at a facility that supplies the hot dogs and said the incident was intended to get support from the players.
Pagan received a roaring ovation from the sellout crowd when the half-inning ended and tipped his cap.
