Back for the 10th Edition is the world’s premier freeride mountain bike event, Red Bull Rampage – the contest that puts the “mountain” back in mountain biking. All disciplines of riders including downhill, slopestyle and freeride mountain bike athletes converge on the demanding terrain off Virgin, Utah to compete for glory and bragging rights in one of the biggest tests of skill and guts in the world. This Sunday, a two-hour TV special on Rampage will air on NBC at 3:00pm ET/12:00pm PT as part of the Red Bull Signature Series, a collection of the most innovative and progressive events in action sports.
The stage is now set as the best riders from around the globe have arrived in the desert outside Zion National Park. The only things that will separate a rider in the start gate from standing atop the podium 2,000 vertical feet below are the narrow, exposed ridgelines, 70-foot jumps over rocky canyons, and the near vertical drops. But for those who step-up to the challenge of man versus mountain, only one will be crowned king of the hill. Who will it be? Defending champion Andreu Lacondeguy from Spain? Can two-time winner Kyle Strait make it an unprecedented third? Or will regular contender for the Best Trick award, Cameron Zink, see his name listed at the top of the leader board? Watch Sunday to find out!
Sal Masekela, the definitive voice in action sports, hosts the Red Bull Signature Series show that is now in its fourth year on NBC. Red Bull Rampage presented by GoPro is brought to a national NBC audience in partnership with Polaris RZR, Pennzoil Synthetics, Samsung, Lifeproof, Jaybird, YT Industries and the Utah Sports Commission.
