Although he's been
on the scene for nearly a decade, the past couple of years have seen Brage Vestavik rise to the levels of mountain bike superstar. As a World Cup racer, tall tales of his style and aggression were whispered around the pits but the results never seemed to follow. So, Brage took a step away from the circuit at the end of 2019 and found a much better path.
Since then, Brage has been building a fearsome reputation as a freerider. He started appearing at
Fest Series,
Hardline and
making grimy, raucous edits. He started catching the attention of the right people and an invite to the inaugural X Games Real MTB competition followed in 2021. of all the athletes featured in the competition, Brage was probably the most surprising but he wasn't going to let that faze him. Working through the brutal Norwegian cold, he crafted a line that allowed him to
mix old-skool wooden stunts with modern tricks and made going huge cool again. Although he didn't win the official prize, he took
the People's Choice Award and won our
Video of the Year Award for the 90 seconds of madness at the end of the year.
Since then, he's made his
first trip to Utah for Rampage and has been signed as a
Red Bull athlete. Now, the Viking is here to answer any and all questions you might have. Fire away!
