Red Bull Rampage Returns in 2013 - Dates Announced
1 August 2013 | By AngusMcIntoshRed Bull Rampage is making its return for 2013 and is set to be bigger and better than ever! Find out more about this prestigious that takes place in Utah!
It’s been nearly a decade since Red Bull Rampage was held in consecutive years, but in 2013 the world will not have to wait to see the best of the sport let loose in Virgin, UT. Known throughout the mountain bike community as the ultimate big mountain Freeride spectacle, Red Bull Rampage is the place to prove who is the most daring and well-rounded rider in the sport’s most respected event.
The event will continue to showcase the riders’ boundless drive for progression. Last year a new, higher ridgeline was used as the start gate for the finals. Riders have just tapped the surface of possibilities, as discovered by 2012 champion Kurt Sorge on a scouting mission earlier this year, when new lines, and a world of new possibilities were unearthed. Will there be bigger canyons to sail across, deeper descents, and new lift offs to flip and spin riders into infamy? The riders will unearth the answers this October. Joining Sorge will be riders across mountain bike disciplines including Brandon Semenuk, Cam McCaul, Darren Barrecloth, Gee Atherton, Graham Agassiz and Martin Söderström who have already committed.
