Why do they have an age limit lol, there are tons of people who won’t be able to compete because of it. For example max park just barely turned 16 in November and if he was a little younger he couldn’t do the Red Bull comps if he wanted to.

Quite simple: their energy drinks are age restricted to 16+ in some countries and because these qualifier promote Red Bull, they also need to have the same age restrictions.
