Red Bull Hart Lines Takes Over Hart Plaza This Weekend!

This weekend Heart Plaza will be taken over by skateboards for the first ever Red Bull Hart Lines. The event is taking place this Friday and Saturday, May 8th and 9th. Friday will be the Qualifying Competition, running from 2-5 p.m. Then, on Saturday the Finals will take place from 2-5 p.m.

Many Metro Detroiters and visiting skaters have skated at Hart Plaza before. So, it is no news to them that there are some great structures there. Well, this event will take advantage of the stairs, rails and other elements at Hart Plaza while adding some additional pieces. The competitors will be going head to head for a Grand Prize of $35k and a 2015 Dodge Challenger. Some pretty big names from the world of skateboarding are coming to town to try their luck at this event too! To see a full list, click here.

Red Bull Hart Lines will be open to the public. They will begin letting people in at 1 p.m. If you can't make it out, you can see highlights of the event on NBC, but not until August 1st. It will air as part of the Red Bull Signature Series. For more information on the Red Bull Hart Line, click here.
