MTB News: Red Bull Rampage – the freeride event of the year. Tonight at 18:30 p.m. German time, 20 riders plunge into self-made lines in Zion National Park in Utah. In order to increase the anticipation until tonight, we look back on the last few years. These are our top 10 moments from the past few years at Red Bull Rampage.
Double backflip by Antoine Bizet in 2016
Antoine Bizet made Rampage history in 2016 with the first ever double backflip in the event series.
Canyon Gap backflip by Kelly McGarry in 2015
Many basic conditions have to be right for this breathtaking jump. It didn't always work out in training either. In the race, however, everything was perfect. A huge jump over a canyon and the backflip also worked.
10 meter fall by Nicholi Rogatkin in 2015
In 2015, Nicholi Rogatkin showed that things don't always work out. The American misbraked and fell down a 10-meter cliff. He was only slightly injured and was able to finish his run slightly injured. But that was also the last rampage for the then newcomer.
360° Drop by Carson Storch in 2016
The 360° drop in 2016 was probably extremely nerve-wracking, especially for Carson Storch himself. As if such a trick wasn’t already challenging enough – Storch couldn’t see the landing when he took off and had to rely on his experience and intuition.
First place by Kyle Strait in 2013
Kyle Strait wowed the jury in 2013 with a perfect mix of tricks, technique and individuality.
Fast and fluid - Thomas Genon in 2016
Thommy G. had an absolutely smooth run at the Red Bull Rampage 2016, but it was peppered with neatly executed tricks.
Brandon Semenuk and his winning run in 2016
Brandon Semenuk, a virtuoso and artist on the bike. It doesn't matter whether it's enduro, dirt or downhill - it just does it.
Kurt Sorge and his rope run in 2012
Kurt Sorge's run in 2012 was steep, clean and unusual. He probably didn't expect himself to win.
Course preview by Claudio Caluori in 2015
Always a loose saying in stock. The Swiss Claudio Caluori is known for his funny route preview videos from the downhill circus. In 2015 he ventured into the Rampage and it shows just how crazy the pro lines are here.
Emil Johansson in 2019
After a long illness, Emil Johansson has fought his way back among the top mountain bike freeriders. It wasn't always easy for him. Now it's time for his Red Bull Rampage debut and we're excited to see what the Swede will come up with. The training video promises a lot of spectacle.
