Red Bull Rampage is back in the Utah desert. And for the first time ever, 8 amazing women riders will show off their freeride skills today – 2 days ahead of the men. It’s been 23 years since the first Rampage, and finally, the World’s Best Women Freeriders get their time in the spotlight… jumping off the red rocky cliffs and hitting handbuilt freeride lines to show off wild slopestyle tricks on the biggest stage in freeride mountain biking!
Watch it directly on Red Bull TV starting at 7pm local time in Virgin, UT (9pm on the East Coast, 1am GMT).
2024 Red Bull Rampage: Women take the freeride MTB stage
After first teasing us with a separate, smaller Red Bull Formation event for women in 2019, Rampage now invites 8 of the world’s best freeriding women to the iconic big mountain bike hotspot in Utah, just days before the men compete. It’s the 18th running of Rampage, and the first to give the women a spot at the event.
“Red Bull says the Formation freeride progression sessions paved the way for this year’s step up. “Through exposure to the dirt and steep lines, the entire women’s field advanced their skill set on the Utah terrain at Formation then linked together top-to-bottom runs on previous Rampage venues.
Fearless riders like Casey Brown and Camila Nogueira are known for their hard-charging style and ability to tackle big drops while riders known for flips, whips, and superwomans such as Robin Goomes, Vaea Verbeeck, Vero Sandler, and Vinny Armstrong will also star.”
Later today we’ll see 8 women take on the world’s toughest mountain bike competition. They will ride an all-new course that they’ve been dialing in, starting nearby the biggest & steepest lines from 2018/2019. That’s also where the men and their small dig teams are now out scratching new tracks into the side of the loose cliffs and building new jumps to create flow out of the jagged landscape.
Watch the women here, later today!
(Kind of like how you should #watchthefemmes on the road-side of pro cycling.)
“Watching Rampage (on site previously as a fan) felt like I was witnessing the pinnacle of the sport and you knew you were part of something special. Whether or not they have Rampage as their goal, I think the trickle-down effect of having women at the event will be massive for mountain biking.”
