Red Bull Rampage returns

Published on August 25, 2008

Since the last Red Bull Rampage in 2004, the mountain biking world has been waiting for the return of the most notorious event mountain biking has ever seen. Big mountain riding has limped along without the event, and become a second class citizen with the rise of slopestyle competitions. But it looks like Red Bull are bringing it back and putting the ‘mountain’ back in to mountain biking!

Details are still thin on the ground, but the events set to take place in Fall 2008. After Red Bull launched a global search to find the perfect venue, the spot was found only 20 miles away from the original site near Virgin, Utah. With 1000 vertical feet and only defined start and finish points, the new event that Red Bull have labelled ‘The Evolution’, looks set to continue in the original spirit of the event, as riders find the most spectacular way down the mountain.

The Atherton family are already in Utah, sessioning the old site, so you can be sure that they’ll be at the event showing the rest of the world that the Brits can tackle the big stuff too!
