Virgin, Utah (September 10, 2024) – In one month’s time, the first riders will drop in for the 18th edition of Red Bull Rampage, the premier big-mountain freeride mountain biking competition. The top 8 female athletes will kick things off on Thursday, October 10th followed by the top 18 male athletes on Saturday, October 12th as part of a brand-new two-day event format in what’s sure to be a historic throwdown in the desert of Southwest Utah. 
The 2024 Red Bull Rampage will return to the iconic site of the 2018/2019 competition venue. The men will return to the same zone they competed on in 2018/2019, while the women’s competition will take place immediately adjacent to the men’s in a brand-new untouched zone, each with their own distinct start gates and finish corrals. This new dedicated raw zone will act as a completely blank canvas for the women to scout and craft the line that will best showcase their riding style and ability. The top five athletes in both the women’s and men’s competitions will receive equal prize money for their efforts.
“The 2018/2019 site is a special one for me because I was a digger for my friend Bas when it was a brand-new zone for Rampage and I learned so much during that event. We shared the line with the late Jordie Lunn, so I have very fond memories of that year,” says first-time competitor Casey Brown. “Having a fresh venue for the women for the inaugural year is super special. It will definitely showcase the true grit it takes to build a full top-to-bottom line and we get to exercise our full creative potential. I’m so excited to get digging!”
Meanwhile, the men are returning to the home of the 2018 and 2019 contests where some of the most legendary moments in freeriding have occurred, including:
- Brandon Semenuk’s third Red Bull Rampage victory in 2019 with a ride packed full of tricks and technical riding
- Godziek’s 2019 stylish and smooth run that led to his People’s Choice Award
- Brett Rheeder’s Best Trick and Runner Up placing in 2019 where he nailed a flat-drop foot can
“The 2019 site is the steepest and biggest zone out of all of them. It’s also super special to me, because my line there contains the biggest drop of my life,” said Red Bull athlete Szymon Godziek. “I am excited to come back and see if I can spin that huge drop!”
Here’s where fans can watch all the jaw-dropping action from Red Bull Rampage:
