Hannah Bergemann's long-awaited first appearance at the Red Bull Rampage mountain biking competition
In the heart of Utah's rugged terrain, the Red Bull Rampage continues to push the boundaries of freeride mountain biking. Originating in 2001 as a pioneering event, Red Bull Rampage has evolved into one of the most prestigious and challenging competitions in the sport[4].
Over the years, the event has primarily showcased male riders, but its evolution towards gender inclusivity is now underway[2][4]. A significant milestone in this journey was the introduction of the Red Bull Formation camp in 2019, specifically designed for female freeriders aspiring to compete at Rampage[1].
One rider who stood out at this inaugural camp was Hannah Bergemann, an emerging talent from the United States. Bergemann was awarded the camp’s "Evolution in Action" prize, marking a defining moment in her career and symbolizing the growing recognition of female freeriders within the sport[1].
With her skills showcased at the camp, Bergemann is now set to make her official debut at Red Bull Rampage in 2025, representing a new chapter for women at the event and the sport in general[1][3]. While the men's competition has a long and storied history featuring top riders like Cam Zink and Tom Van Steenbergen, the inclusion of Bergemann and other women underscores the event’s evolution towards gender inclusivity and the high level of talent among female freeriders[3].
However, it's important to note that, as of 2025, Hannah Bergemann has not been documented as a winner of Red Bull Rampage[1][3]. Nonetheless, her dominance in the freeride scene and her role as a pioneer among the world's elite freeriders make her a highly anticipated addition to the competition.
As Red Bull Rampage undergoes evolution, becoming a two-day event, Bergemann's presence will undoubtedly add another layer of excitement to the already thrilling competition[5]. The introduction of a women's category at Red Bull Rampage marks a significant step forward in the representation of female riders in the freeride scene, and Bergemann's participation further cements this progress.
