Video: Dylan Starks Prepares For His First Rampage in Episode 2 Of High Voltage
High Voltage Featuring Dylan Stark | Episode 2
Everyone has dreams, not everyone gets a chance to live them. Dylan Stark is officially living his now. His heart, creativity and raw talent has provided him the opportunity to compete at the highest level, and he has caught the attention of all of us.
Dylan’s unique style and can be attributed to his BMX and Moto background. A big part of who he is as athlete is that we see him staying true himself, and his authenticity shines. He exhibits an unconstrained creativity and willingness to explore and try new things as a rider.
Late August, Dylan Stark got the invite to showcase his abilities on the biggest stage in MTB, Red Bull Rampage.
Competing at Rampage requires more than just riding, Dylan must rise to the occasion of the event. Dylan will design, build his line, while pushing himself to nail his run and outscore 17 of the best riders in the world.
Dylan was born to shred on two wheels – it’s a passion that knowns no limitation. Whether blasting berms on his moto, ice pick grinding handrails on his BMX bike, ripping technical single track on his Enduro, or throwing big moto whips on his eMTB, it is clear that Dylan is not particular or caught in the stigma or politics of cycling trends. He literally gives zero F’s and just wants to shred … and we love it. This openness and individuality is what is so refreshing and what makes him stand out.
In the first episode of High Voltage, we saw how Dylan uses his ebike as part of his daily regiment to ride to his local spot, defy gravity and push the boundaries of what riders think ebikes are capable of. In Episode 2 of High Voltage, we see how the ebike has become an even more important part of his prep for Rampage since the event is almost as much about digging as it is riding. Dylan takes advantage of the ebike’s versatility and uses his ebike to haul all of his tools to his local spot. We see Dylan in the throes of the hard work in preparing for his debut at Rampage. Riding his ebike to his local trails, Dylan talks about his path to getting where his is and shows us what his pre-Rampage - from sunrise to sunset - routine looks like.
We can see that Dylan Stark works hard every day to achieve his dreams and gives it his all. His journey is one that is impossible not to route for. Just getting invited is enough of a win and a lifetime achievement for Dylan and the other 17 athletes, but we can’t wait to see this year’s riding and the results. One of the most exciting things to see at this event is the progression of the sport and new levels of riding achieved. Dylan Stark will be sure to bring some new flavor to the mix and we couldn’t be more excited to watch.
Red Bull Rampage is October 21. Best of luck to all the riders. Let’s go Dylan!
