OzGo: Redbull Rampage is Done!

So Red Bull Rampage is a freeride mountain bike event that Red Bull puts on. This year was the first time they put it on since 2004. It was the first event of its kind in the mountain biking world. Riders would start at the top of this epic canyon in Virgin Utah and ride to the bottom... Originally the riders would build their own lines down the canyon and the rider with the biggest stunts and most style would take the gold. This year, Red Bull had course builders make the course beforehand. The builders built all the stunts, drops, jumps, etc. The riders would then link them accordingly. These guys were hitting some insane lines and on top of that, lots of guys were throwing tricks in too! Insanity children!

Check it:
