Jaxson Riddle delivered another showcase of his motocross-inspired riding style at Red Bull Rampage 2026, with a new GoPro video capturing his run from the drop-in to the finish corral.
The footage gives viewers a first-person perspective of Riddle navigating the massive drops, steep terrain, and technical features that make Rampage one of mountain biking’s most demanding competitions.
Riddle Finishes Second Before Event Ends Early
Riddle, one of the most distinctive riders in freeride mountain biking, first made his mark at Rampage in 2021 when he won the competition’s Style Award. His latest appearance continued that tradition, with a clean run earning him a score of 85.87.
That score placed the American in second when the competition was brought to an early end due to strong winds. Organizers ultimately declared no official winner for the 2026 men’s event.
Rampage Celebrates 25 Years
Held on October 10th in southwest Utah, the 2026 edition marked the 25th anniversary of Red Bull Rampage. Riders returned to the original venue used for the inaugural 2001 competition, building their own lines into the desert mountainside with help from two assistants.
The invitation-only event remains the pinnacle of freeride mountain biking, challenging competitors to combine technical skill, creativity, and nerve on some of the steepest terrain imaginable.
