"After this year's Red Bull Rampage, I think many of us needed a couple of days to let the dust settle. This year's competition truly embodied what the event is all about. While it included some high highs for riders like Rampage rookie-turned-Rampage champion Hayden Zablotny, it was also a humbling reminder of just how gnarly this event is and what athletes are putting on the line every single time they drop in."
"This year's competition was one that will undoubtedly live in infamy. In its 19th edition, this was more than just another showdown in the desert - this was a seismic event in the history of freeride and the legacy of Red Bull Rampage. The rookies came out swinging, the vets held it down, and we saw an event unlike anything else we've experienced before. New legends were born, and longstanding legends were cemented."
Hayden Zablotny, a Rampage rookie, won the event with an outstanding and daring second run. The competition combined pioneering tricking and high-speed stunts with severe, sometimes dangerous crashes among top riders. The 19th edition delivered a seismic moment for freeride and the legacy of Red Bull Rampage, with rookies impressing and veterans maintaining presence. The event included massive drops like the mandatory 21-foot Heart chute and high-speed triple drops topping 43 mph. New legends emerged while longstanding champions reinforced their status, underscoring a generational shift in freeride mountain biking.
