How Red Bull Rampage works
Invited riders get to carve their ultimate lines into the side of near-vertical sandstone ridges with the help of their two-person build crews. In advance of the competition, riders and their support crews will spend four days building their lines. This is followed by a rest day and then four practice days.
The competition format sees each rider having the chance to take two runs but being ranked based on their highest single-run score. All of the preparation will end in an epic showdown in the desert.
