Stage Two of the Red Hook Criterium Cycling Series at the Brooklyn Navy Yard

Posted on June 4 2013, 10:23am | Author: R* Q | Filed Under: Rockstar

Before heading overseas for a pair of stops in Barcelona and Milan this summer/fall, the Red Hook Crit cycling series will hit the Brooklyn Navy Yard this Saturday night. The first stage back in March at the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal featured an intense, nail-biting finish (check the video above) and stage two is shaping up to be another exciting, action-packed event.
 
For this Saturday's race, we're pleased to announce the availability of grandstand tickets for the first time. While attending the race is free for the general public, these tickets offer spectators exclusive views of the racing action, plus all grandstand ticket holders will receive a limited-edition Rockstar Games x Red Hook Crit t-shirt. Only 100 of these tickets are available, and all profits raised from ticket sales go directly towards the Athlete Support program. To purchase tickets, visit redhookcrit.com/grandstand.
 
SCHEDULE
6:00PM: Qualifying Heats
9:00PM: Red Hook Crit 5K
9:45PM: Red Hook Criterium 
 
Any New Yorkers who'd like to volunteer to assist with course setup, marshaling or next day clean up can visit http://rhcvolunteer.eventbrite.com. All volunteers will receive a complimentary food ticket redeemable at any of the RHC food vendors along with a Race Crew t-shirt.
 
For more details, visit www.redhookcrit.com, the official page on Facebook or download the free Red Hook Crit App - available for iOS and coming to Android later this week.

    I was at the Red Hook Crit this Sat - amazing pace, such a rough track around the Navy Yard!!! Luckily I live right next door :)
    I'm a Brooklyn artis myself, never thought i'd get thrilled by car, bike or any other kind of racing. After the Red Hook Crit in March, I got inspired and wrote a song about racing. Would love to share it with everybody here!

      @OlyaBKL That was really good.
    • OlyaBKLon June 11 2013, 10:46amReply
      @jaar04 the race or the song? I will assume both )))

      @OlyaBKL Nice song, I liked it. :) Can I listen to more of your music somewhere?
    • R* Yon June 11 2013, 8:49pmReply
      @OlyaBKL Nice. Cycling is a major passion for a lot of the Rockstar staff in New York, and it's awesome to see an artist such as yourself be inspired to by the Red Hook Crit to write a song.
    • OlyaBKLon June 12 2013, 10:54pmReply
      @dimassss Thank you, glad you liked! Here are some more of my new tunes: http://www.sonicbids.com/2/EPK/?epk_id=301861

      @ Thank you, guys! Great to see your support of these events - cycling is a huge part of New York culture. Yup, you never know where you can find your inspiration - it was a very pleasant surprise for me, so I'm a big fan ever since...

      If you would like to use this song for any of your cycling compilation videos, please feel free. It would be my pleasure!!!

    Didn't find any new recorded videos of the event on youtube but i saw this one that @dimassss shared, the guy wearing white helmet should have been more careful or slowed down a little bit he saw his mate crashed but it's been an accident hope everyone is okay

      Good race R*
      • VinewoodTitson June 8 2013, 7:23pmReply
        @R* Me and my girl attended the 145th Belmont Stakes from Belmont Park over here in Elmont, NY ( Queens ) and it was a great time. Next stop is to shoot on over to BK to watch this race. We might even volunteer for the clean up as well and try to score two Race Crew t-shirts. Enjoy the rest of the weekend! Will try to snap some pics!

        ( I ended up losing $125 during the horse race. ) :/ Should've picked 'Palace Malice'.

              @LILnutsack Cool vid. A lot of top, pro cyclists compete in the Crit. We do know of at least one messenger who is competing - he placed 26th out of 100 riders in the last round and if you're interested, there's a good interview with him here: http://nyc.brightestyoungthings.com/articles/byt-interviews-christopher-the-badi-rabadi-red-hook-crit-hopeful.htm

              LMAO out of all the sports you guys could choose from, you make a cycling team?! lol come on guys really? this better be some community service you got forced to do. why not something cool like rally truck racing or a drift team?
              • R* Qon June 7 2013, 6:36pmReply
                @illMurdaUrKids Sorry if the sport of cycling isn't your particular cup of tea, but many of us here at Rockstar happen to be great fans of the sport and we're very proud to support the Red Hook Crit. If you're a fan of competitive racing you should check out the video above if you haven't already - there's quite a bit of intense, fast-paced action in these short course races.
              • m-one_hundredon June 7 2013, 6:42pmReply
                @ Hey R* you should add this race to GTAV so we can all experience this race. :)
              • illMurdaUrKidson June 7 2013, 7:05pmReply
                @ intence meaning? broken bones? brawls? devistating pile ups? if thats the case ill watch.
              • 400Scorpionon June 7 2013, 7:25pmReply
                @m-one_hundred There will be triathlon they stated, and guess what is a part of a triathlon? Bike race! Like that early screen remember? That cyclist with the Del Perro pier in the background!
              • AnthonyPrincesson June 8 2013, 1:29amReply
                maybe because he can't do it better? lol
                So he thinks that sport MUST have something to do with pain |D
              • tadejpetricon June 8 2013, 1:19pmReply
                @ I likw it and I like cycling too. Tour de France was better but still great race!
            • iLewisGTAon June 7 2013, 5:22pmReply
              Just posted this on the GTAV Article, but good luck for tomorrow, R*, and enjoy your weekend! Hopefully the weather is as beautiful as it is here in the UK! :)
              • EyAzpenon June 6 2013, 12:53pmReply
                Too many cheaters in this sport.
              • scareface1970on June 5 2013, 10:08amReply
                The cycling sport is always good to look at, but do you also car racing, I mean supporting a team in the car racing or something that would be crazy. I also love racing and sports cars.
                Hah, maybe something in the future the name from Rockstargames or a huge R* logo on a race car :)

                Games and Sports with ***Rockstar*** Is Always Good :D :D :D

                Cheers....

                    So R* sponsors the Signature Cycles team? I didn't know that!

                    This is why we read about the RHC!

                    dear R*,
                    what about a Red Hook Crit Los Santos in a future multiplayer event?!?
