The Red Bull Rampage returns to Virgin, Utah in just a little over 3 weeks. On October 5-7, the world’s best freeride mountain bikers will converge on the cliffs above Virgin where they will conpete and descend through technical terrain filled with cliffs, gap jumps, and red-rock mountains that fall 1,000 vertical feet. Since 2001, rider have been sending it in this competition, and to celebrate, Red Bull has put together a compilation of the top five gnarliest bike crashes over the years.
You can watch the carnage yourself down in Virgin when the Red Bull Rampage happens October 5-7. As the name suggests, riders will “rampage” as they choose a line down a network of ridges from the starting gate. A bunch of hand-made features will stand in their way to the finish line, including a 60-foot gap jump over a canyon. But athletes will have to do more than just make it down and survive. Competitors will also be judged on style, amplitude, fluidity and difficulty of the line.
