Robin Goomes makes Red Bull Rampage history with 3 wins in a row
From winning the inaugural women’s event in 2024 to landing a groundbreaking flat spin 360 in 2026, the New Zealander has become the first rider to win Red Bull Rampage three years in a row.

Robin Goomes has made Red Bull Rampage history again. With victory in Virgin, Utah, the New Zealander became the first rider in the event’s history to claim three consecutive titles.
At Red Bull Rampage’s 25th anniversary, Goomes delivered a winning score of 93.50 against a field of 10 women on the steepest venue used in the competition’s history. Her run also featured another milestone: the first flat spin 360 landed by a woman at Red Bull Rampage, earning her the Utah Sports Commission Best Trick Award.
“Winning once was something I never thought I could accomplish, so winning this third title is a dream,” Goomes says.

Holding on to the title meant finding ways to improve again. Back home in New Zealand, Goomes built a training compound to practise her backflip step-down until the movement became muscle memory. You can see how it happened on the day in the clip below:
“The pressure seems to just keep building. All I knew this year is that if I wanted to do it again, I'd have to push harder than I've ever done and be better than I have been previously. So that was the goal coming in – just work hard for it.”
In Utah, she landed a flat spin 360 on her upper jump, helping secure both the winning score and her second Best Trick Award in three appearances.

The setting added to the challenge. For the first time in Rampage’s 25-year history, the men and women shared a competition start gate, with riders tackling the tallest venue used in the event’s history, with more than 200m of vertical descent across 90 acres of terrain.
Goomes finished just 0.75 points ahead of the USA's Hannah Bergemann. After winning the inaugural women’s competition and successfully defending her crown, she had now achieved something no previous Rampage champion had managed: three titles in three consecutive years.

Bergemann finished second for the second consecutive year, scoring 92.75 with a performance built around speed and power. Getting there meant overcoming a practice crash on the Big Lebowski, a steep drop she shared with men’s competitor Carson Storch. She returned to land the feature and included it in her finals run, earning the BFGoodrich Tires Toughness Award. Watch her come back from that crash here:
For Bergemann, completing the riding she had worked towards mattered as much as the podium.
“Yeah, for me, the podiums are just the cherry on top of the week. So much goes into this event behind the scenes,” she says. “Months and months, years of prep on the bike, getting everything ready, then building for ten days and practising… by the time you get to comp day, you just want to do your thing. And if I accomplish the goal I set out to do, I'm happy.”
Bergemann also reflected on her run: “I'm really proud of the power and speed I put into my run. I just really wanted to charge and was super fired up to finally ride my bike. So, I was just stoked to get these two full top-to-bottom laps and charge and have a good time.”

Two backflips helped secure both the victory and the Best Trick Award, while a 12.5m drop and a technical chute showed the range of riding behind her performance. Goomes left Utah as the first women’s Red Bull Rampage champion.

A year later, retaining the title required a late change of plan. After the entrance to her intended line proved too challenging, Goomes switched her start, adding a technical drop and a front-brake nose pivot on an exposed ridgeline. She first tried the new manoeuvre the night before finals.
It paid off. Her run combined suicide no-handers, a crankflip and two backflips, including one on a step-down. A score of 89.50 put her just 0.17 points ahead of Bergemann, whose second run couldn't overturn the result. Goomes had become a back-to-back champion.
In 2026, she extended that streak with another first for women’s freeride. From two backflips in the inaugural contest to a flat spin 360 in her third victory, Goomes has kept adding to the riding that earned her the original crown.
