The Red
Bull Rampage is an invite-only freeride mountain bike competition held
near Zion National Park in Virgin, Utah, USA, just to the north of Gooseberry
Mesa. Previously it was held off the Kolob Terrace Road, on the western
boundary of Zion National Park. The competition was held from 2001–2004 and then canceled due to the increasing
risk competitors were taking. The Rampage however was re-introduced for the
2008 season. In 2010, the event was held October 1–3.
The event is similar to freestyle skiing and
snowboarding, where competitors are judged on their choice of lines down the
course, their technical ability and the complexity of tricks. For the 2008
event wooden features have been introduced to what has previously been a
'Natural' only course.
