RAMPAGE 2003 MEDIA ALERT

WORLD'S BEST FREERIDE MOUNTAIN BIKE RIDERS
GATHER IN UTAH DESERT TO COMPETE IN
THE THIRD ANNUAL
"RED BUll RAMPAGE"

Once again Red Bull Energy Drink is hosting its Red Bull Rampage, an
invitational only, men's mountain bike freeride competition. For
the third year in a row the best freeride mountain bikers in the
world will gather to challenge the steep lines and cliff bands of
Virgin, Utah.
WHERE: Virgin, Utah on the Kolob Reservoir Road near the red hills. Just outside of Zion
National Park. (35 miles NE of St. George).

WHEN: October 16-19, 2003

WHY: For the last two years Red Bull Energy Drink and Bike Magazine have pulled off
the most talked about mountain bike freeride competition derived from the
innovative and progressive style of mountain biking. The competition site for Red Bull Rampage offers spectacular views and extremely challenging hills for even the best mountain bikers in the world. Athletes will battle the burly terrain vying to take the winning title away from last year’s champion, Tyler Klassen, whose 30+ foot launch secured him the first place prize of $3,500.

The format is similar to an extreme skiing contest, where competitors choose their own line and difficulty level within a designated location. At this gravity-powered competition, athletes are scored based on difficulty of line, style, amplitude, fluidity, and overall impression.

WHO: The world’s best mountain bikers, photographers, video producers, and industry magazines. For media registration please contact Justine Mittelman at Red Bull Communications at 310-460-5370 or [email protected]
