History

Old Red Bull Rampage Course, part of the mountain used in Virgin, Utah

The competition took place from 2001 till 2004. However, by 2005 the organizers put the event on hold to try find a new venue. After a three-year hiatus, Rampage returned in 2008 at a new venue.^[3] The organizers introduced wooden features for the 2008 event. Previously, the competition took place on a natural piste, meaning it was devoid of manmade features.^[3]

The event usually occurs in October. Its format is similar to freestyle skiing and freestyle snowboarding, where competitors are judged on their choice of lines down the hill, their technical ability and the complexity and amplitude of tricks. Since its inception, Red Bull Rampage has become the super bowl of Freeride MTB .^[4]

At the first ever Rampage in 2001, the prize money for the event was $8,000. In 2024, the total prize fund was $ 100.000.^[5]
