Experience the most audacious jumps ever seen in Red Bull Rampage's legacy
The steep and unforgiving terrain of southwest Utah played host to the best freeride mountain bikers in the world as they competed in the Red Bull Rampage 2022 [1]. This prestigious event, known as the most coveted title in freeride mountain biking, has been a platform for innovation and record-breaking moments since its inaugural run in 2001 [2].
