Dave brings Red Bull Cliff Diving to UK screens for the first time
September 21, in an extension to its long running and successful partnership with the Red Bull Media House, UKTV Channel Dave, the home of witty banter, has reordered its high-octane freestyle motocross series Red Bull X-Fighters for a fifth season, and is bringing the spectacular Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series to British TV screens for the first time this autumn.
Red Bull Cliff Diving 2012 will premiere exclusively on Dave on Sunday 7th October at 5pm. The successful high diving event series has been touring the globe for three years, but makes its debut in the UK in 2012. The 7x 30' series captures the drama as the world's best high divers leap from a 27m platform in stunning locations such as Corsica, The Azores and the Pembrokeshire Coast in Wales. Making her presenting debut is adventurer Bonita Norris, the youngest woman ever to reach the summit of Mount Everest.
The series has been ordered by Dave's General Manager, Steve North and the partnership with Red Bull Media House was put together by UKTV's Head of Commercial Partnerships, Sally Quick. The deal comes hot off the heels of Red Bull X-Fighters recent return to Dave. Presented by maverick sports presenter Ed Leigh and ex-mountain bike pro Rob Warner, the 6x 60' series follows the world tour to stops including Dubai, Madrid & Sydney. UMTV, which has been producing Red Bull X-Fighters successfully for five seasons, has produced Red Bull Cliff Diving 2012 with James Milnes acting as executive producer for Red Bull Media House. Helen Cooke is executive producer for UKTV on Red Bull X-Fighters (series 5), with UKTV's Richard Watsham taking on the role for Red Bull Cliff Diving 2012.
Steve North, General Manager, Dave, commented: “Red Bull Cliff Diving 2012 is an action-packed feast of adrenaline-filled entertainment and we are confident Dave viewers will find the series compelling viewing.” Sally Quick, Director of Commercial Partnerships added: “We are delighted to be working with Red Bull again on a further project building on the success of Red Bull X Fighters. Red Bull Cliff Diving 2012 is genuinely jaw-dropping and we think Dave viewers are going to be astonished by the sheer drops and amazing dexterity of the athletes.”
adidas teamed up with Red Bull Media House to explore the passion and skill of urban runners, and the science that drives their sport
We challenged Petair (Peter Sowinski, founder of Breakletics and member of the Flying Steps) and pro freerunner Pamela Forster to explore the city of Berlin and turn the skyline into their very own running playground. Rooftops, attics, stairwells and the Berlin running team, ParkourONE, inspire Petair and Forster to push themselves to even greater heights.
To push Urban Running to new limits, adidas brings sports science to where people run. The Futurecraft running shoe was developed at their SPEEDFACTORY facility; the process uses motion capture and 3D imaging technology to better understand each runner and the shoes they wear.
SPEEDFACTORY is a faster, more innovative, reactive, tailored and sustainable running shoe manufacturing approach; it creates a completely unique product custom tailored to an athlete’s anatomy, the way they move through space and their style of play. This industry-changing innovation will soon take the lab to the street, all around the world.

This collaboration is only the first step, more exciting global projects from adidas and Red Bull Media House follow in 2017.
Red Bull Records artist Twin Atlantic releasing their new album 'GLA' today
“Turns out, when Twin Atlantic unleash untold savagery in the form of a pop song, they’re amazing.” **** NME
"…they’ve upped their game beyond measure. GLA’s songs are snappy, its drums gigantic, its guitar riffs thrilling and McTrusty sings … with the conviction of a man reborn. Anthem piles upon anthem … and this is surely what Twin Atlantic were aspiring to all along.” **** Q
“By finally abandoning the pursuit of making alt-rock sound as pristine as possible, Twin Atlantic have actually struck upon something much more significant here; their identity.” **** Mojo
“… this is Twin Atlantic stepping up their intensity, their aggression and their commitment to achieving greatness on their terms… they look destined to conquer everything they touch.” KKKK Kerrang!
“… honest, heartfelt and infectious songs that are destined to be belted out on the biggest of stages.” 8/10 Rocksound
“An album of unashamed anthems…” Clash
“Twin Atlantic deserve credit for doing more than just leaning into the sound that earned them radio airplay on the Great Divide…. an exciting direction for the Glasgow outfit.” The Line Of Best Fit
“It shows a quartet with their shackles off, acting on impulse and throwing themselves in headfirst.“ DI
Twin Atlantic have become the alternative rock band of the moment with the release of new album ‘GLA’, out today. Critics hail it their best yet and new single ’The Chaser' has gone straight on the Radio 1 playlist following a 6 week playlist for first single ‘No Sleep’.
‘GLA’ from riff to lyric sees Sam McTrusty transform into rock star royalty, against the backdrop of guitarist Barry McKenna’s searing lead lines, which are possessed of powerful complexity and nuance. The perfect polished pop songs have been ditched, replaced by tracks that are just as compelling, but possessing new depth and sophistication, while never shedding that primal Twin Atlantic kick fuelled by bass player Ross McNae and drummer Craig Kneale. And they are personal and from-the-heart in a way the group have never before delivered.

‘GLA’ was written in Glasgow, and the band repaired to Topanga Canyon in Los Angeles to record the album, working with Jacknife Lee (U2, Snow Patrol, Two Door Cinema Club) who had previously produced some tracks for previous Top 10 album 'Great Divide' (2014). Under his direction, they eschewed old school recording techniques, taping their parts separately. This change in their recording process marked the grander ambitions of the new songs, while their dream mixer Alan Moulder (best known for his unforgettable work with Arctic Monkeys, Foals, Foo Fighters and My Bloody Valentine) came aboard to give the album the essential finishing touch.

Original perspectives that inspire can now be found on the GoPro Channel on Red Bull TV
Today the GoPro Channel launches on Red Bull TV introducing unexpected and unseen perspectives to a global audience. Resulting from their partnership announced in May, when GoPro joined forces with Red Bull for a multi-year partnership, this new channel marks the first step of the two brands collaborating to innovate, produce and distribute world-class content.
To celebrate this newest content, the GoPro Channel is unveiling exclusive raw footage from the highly anticipated film, The Fourth Phase, featuring Travis Rice and Eric Jackson in Alaska.
The Fourth Phase will premiere October 2nd exclusively on Red Bull TV; but today, for three breathtaking minutes, viewers can walk in the shoes (or boots) of two world-class snowboarders as they capture behind-the-scenes footage from the deep backcountry—above and beyond what can be seen in the film’s official trailer.
The GoPro Channel on Red Bull TV will also feature two of its acclaimed original series, Chasing El Niño with Chris Benchetler and Two Roads, as well as additional content exposing the intimate, never-before-seen perspectives of some of the world’s top adventure sport athletes:
• Chasing El Niño with Chris Benchetler is a four-part series that follows the world famous pro skier and adventurer as he searches for the best snow conditions up and down the West Coast of the USA and Canada during the 2015-2016 snow season.
• Two Roads is an 11-part original series that follows eleven athletes and one coach who have made the commitment to pursue greatness. Each episode will showcase an athlete’s unique journey within their sport, and truly define the life-changing moments that led them to the path they currently walk.
• Record-Breaking Victory: UCI MTB World Cup 2016: GoPro Extra – Ride along with Rachel Atherton as she claims her record-breaking 10th consecutive downhill victory at the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup presented by Shimano in Leogang, Austria.
• Danny MacAskill: Cascadia – Join street trials pro rider, Danny MacAskill, on an insane journey across the rooftops of Gran Canaria in a video that mixes vertigo-inducing lines and killer POV-footage.
Authentic and immersive GoPro content has been synonymous with the Red Bull brand since the revolutionary cameras were first introduced in 2002. Red Bull adventure sport athletes – including big wave surfers, freestyle mountain bikers, slopestyle snowboarders and pro skateboarders – were among the early adopters to tell their stories using GoPro technology. The GoPro Channel on Red Bull TV will feature new clips and legendary videos from these arenas, and many more.
Complementing the divers program of Red Bull TV, the GoPro Channel will also feature highlights from some of Red Bull TV’s most popular content and original series, including bonus footage of rooftop jumping, bridge climbing and subterranean exploration from URBEX and Claudio Caluori’s white-knuckle course previews for the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup presented by Shimano.
