Red Bull Rampage returns for 20th Anniversary on October 15

Red Bull Rampage is hands down the wildest, most progressive freeride mountain bike event of the year. And this Friday, October 15th, you can watch the 20th Anniversary edition live on Red Bull TV!

This is the mountain bike event that every pro rider wants to shred and the one that every fan worth their weight in groupsets wants to watch. It is a full-on backcountry trick fest, in which the best of the best blaze lines of their making down the sickeningly exposed natural cliffs, shoots and booters that grace the steeps of Virgin, Utah.

Red Bull Rampage is not a timed race but there is a start and finish and between these the riders build, in the company of a crew of shapers, construct their most impressive lines they can imagine. Armed with shovels, picks and 75 sandbags they have four days to build and four days to test their masterpieces.

Come event day riders get two three-minute runs to dial their best line, judged by fellow athletes on the categories of line choice and degree of difficulty, tricks and style, fluidity and control and amplitude. In short, it is the most spectacular yet rootsy event in global action sports.

This year a field of 15 of the world’s best riders will compete, including the top 10 shredders from 2019 and five wildcards selected by a committee of formers RBR competitors, athletes, judges and MTB experts. Competitors include former champion Brandon Semenuk (USA), fellow three-time champion Kurt Sorge (CAN), two-time winner Kyle Strait (USA) and former winners Cam Zink (CAN) and Andreu Lacondeguy (ES-CT).

Created in 2001 Red Bull Rampage was at the forefront of the mountain bike freeride movement and instrumental in the disciplines’ progression. It was, as it still is, about riding gnarly lines, getting creative in natural terrain and pushing the boundaries of what is possible on two wheels.

The freeride mountain bike equivalent of the Super Bowl, Red Bull Rampage just can’t be missed. Watch the event live on Red Bull TV on Friday 15th October and keep up with the latest news from the course on https://www.redbull.com/int-en/events/rampage.
