Red Bull Rampage
The evolution of Red Bull Rampage continues with a two-day event and the addition of a women's category. On Thursday, October 10th, the world’s top female mountain bike athletes competed on the iconic reddish desert of Southwest Utah for the first time, permanently etching their names in the history books. The coveted prize was ultimately claimed by Robin Goomes with 85 points, wowing the judges with two big backflips. The flips also earned her the Utah Sports Commission Best Trick Award. Claiming second place was Canadian Georgia Astle , who was originally an alternate and not expecting to compete this year. In September, Astle got the call that she’d made the start list and she definitely rose to the occasion. Rounding out the podium was the godmother of freeride, Casey Brown , with a score of 77.33. After a couple more days of practice, the top male freeriders took on some of the most challenging terrain in the world to compete for the top podium spot, bragging rights, and the coveted Red Bull Rampage trophy. It was anyone’s game for the win at Red Bull Rampage 2024, but ultimately, Canadian Brandon Semenuk emerged victorious with a run that further cemented his name in the Red Bull Rampage history books. The men’s event left spectators on the edge of their seats, with no shortage of suspense. The Canadian started his first run strong, wowing with a highly technical tail whip into his double drop. But what was looking like a podium-worthy run came to a halt when Semenuk crashed while attempting a flip whip. After a gruelling two-and-a-half-hour wind hold, Semenuk returned to the start gate to go again. Once he found the right weather window, Semenuk descended, stomping both his tail whip and flip whip, earning a 92.73 for the run and his fifth Red Bull Rampage victory. Both the men’s and women’s broadcasts are now available to watch via replay on Red Bull TV .
