Red Bull Rampage Practice Day Two

Quand plusieurs des meilleurs riders nord-américains se réunissent pour tester une nouvelle piste dans un bike park qui ouvrira l'été prochain, ça promet d'envoyer ! Fast, big, flowy, and faster again — rip mountain biking's mega course with the sport's wildest rippers. "This course is something that I've always wanted to ride or build," says Rhythm course creator Bas van Steenbergen, "Having these super technical rhythm sections, big jumps and sick turns all in one trail was a dream co...

Carson Storch may be a Rampage rookie, but his confident 3rd place run showed he can hang with freeriding's finest. With two massive 360s, heavy drops, and tight technical riding, Storch rode his way to a well earned podium spot.

"The event organizers called it 'impassable,'" says Tyler McCaul of the daunting visual improbability of the narrow ridgeline he has chosen as his line for Red Bull Rampage 2016. The crux move in the line: A narrow spine leading to a cliff, cropping out over the edge of a steep canyon with consequential drops on both sides. It required a huge landing be made to even think if was to be attempted. With all 300 allotted sandbags in place, the landing zone still wasn't plausible. So all 12...

Voici enfin les images des temps forts de la Rampage. Du shape à la finale en passant par les entrainements. Avec surtout des images qui permettent de mieux se rendre compte de la technicité des lignes des pilotes. Another epic year of Red Bull Rampage is on the books. People questioned if progression was possible while returning to dirt jumps and removing wooden features. The performance all the riders put forth this year answered that question, with Antoine Bizet landing a double backfli...

Kyle Strait is no stranger to Red Bull Rampage, and his line choice at the 2016 venue proved just that. Strait's gnarly line featured beefy drops, sketchy transitions, and perilous exposure around each turn, but going steep and deep is the name of Strait's game, and this GoPro view of his run shows just that.

The last of four practice days before the Red Bull Rampage 2016 final pushed riders to face the gnarliest aspects of their lines and either conquer them or have a long, restless night knowing they'd left features unridden. Not surprisingly, some of the most incredible riding of the week went down, as you can see in the video above.

What’s it like to walk away from a crash at Rampage? Kyle Strait knows - it takes more than a little spill to sideline this beast of a freerider. In his second run after throwing a massive cliff-drop backflip, he gets offline and crashes hard into his next feature. Strait pops right back up, and the crowd loses it. We were stoked to see the energy between the riders and fans at this year’s Rampage - and MAD respect to all the riders who put it on the line for the sake of going BIG.

Darren Berrecloth profite de la Superlune pour s'envoyer le King Kong trail de l'Utah de nuit! On November 14, 2016, the moon traveled closer to the Earth than it has since 1948 — and we'll have to wait until 2034 until it gets this close again. With only a few days' notice, Darren Berrecloth seized the opportunity for an epic attempt to ride one of Utah's most technically demanding trails — located on the edge of all four Red Bull Rampage event sites — in the dark. Using only a headlam...
