If you’re hoping to spend your Friday watching some truly jaw dropping action, we’ve got some good news for you. The second ever Women’s Red Bull Rampage begins today at 10:30am MDT, so don’t miss out on one of the greatest mountain bike events of the year.
The stream can be watched either on the Red Bull Bike YouTube channel (the stream is below) or on Red Bull TV. The event was originally scheduled to begin on Thursday, October 16th, but weather conditions forced a single-day delay.
12 women from around the world were originally set to compete, though it looks like both Casey Brown (CAN) and Vaea Verbeeck (CAN) have been forced to drop out due to injuries sustained in gnarly crashes. The entire women’s roster is available here.
Red Bull Rampage is a freeride mountain bike event held in Virgin, Utah. Athletes spend the days ahead of the competition preparing and building their route in teams, using no outside materials or power tools (with the exception of sand bags). The mountain bikers get two runs to ride their lines to the bottom of the mountain. A panel of judges watches and gives scores, with the highest scored run winning the event. In the event of a tie, the highest score of the two runs added together wins.
The women’s event will run throughout the day today, with each athlete taking up to two runs on their course. The men’s event is set to go down on Sunday, October 19th, beginning at 10:30am MDT and streamed at the same locations as the women’s event. Don’t miss out on these two days of incredible competition!
