The BIGGEST JUMPS EVER BUILT at Red Bull RAMPAGE?!

Matt Jones walks us through the Red Bull Rampage digging process and explores some of the new lines for 2023. Riders are allowed a team of two diggers, 75 sandbags, and ten days in the Utah desert to build a winning line at the world's wildest freeride mountain bike event.
Red Bull Rampage returns to the former site of the 2008-2013, 2022 competitions, which last saw riders on the course almost a decade ago. It’s the site of the contest’s most iconic moments, with new history-making sends to occur this week in Utah.

I will never forget the day when Szymon Godziek came into my workshop, telling me the head tube of his Slopestyle frame got bent. Apparently Nicholi Rogatkin told him to travel with his bike in a Hockey Bag, because it's the cheapest way to fly with your bike. Now the same guy who made me put a hammer to his frame is building one of the most ridiculous lines mankind has ever seen. I love it!

[@SnootchieBootchies27]

Red Bull, you really need to give this bot some new things to say or shut it down. It's embarrassing for you.

[@WorkingfromWork]

I would watch a docuseries of just the riders and builders choosing their lines and digging out the lines to make it ridable. I'd watch like 10 hours of that, EASY.

Same.. I have a KZbin window open on my laptop while working from home 🤣👌🏽

[@yorkshirelad3133]

the reason they don't is because they leave that part upto the rider and their team, to gain any publicity if they want it, some of the riders do it, I always used to watch zink's and brendogs dig vids, the hype is just as fun as the comp

It’s easy to forget that Red Bull is a drink when they put on crazy awesome events like this, dominating the extreme sports 🔥💯

[@Dannyjones1]

I sincerely hope everyone gets through safe. May the best man win.👏🏻

[@Lylisuvanto]

Why don't redbull have a team of like, alpine builders who scutters around and put nets maybe 10m down from the certain death zones, just to make sure there's some safety. I don't think anyone watching would/should complain about that. I might be wrong, but that would be kinda nice.

[@xpndblhero5170]

I've been waiting for someone to make a huge spine out of one of those ridge lines or a huge quarter pipe drop..... These are insane and I'm all about it. 😮❤❤❤

[@Sck519]

If eveyone walks away with out a major injury this will be a success and push the sport sooo much. I hope the judging awards the hard lines and not just freestyle tricks off perfectly built jumps

[@justh4195]

The shot at 1:10 finally does a feature justice. That thing is just massive. Takes a special kind of person to look at that cliff and say "Yeah, that's rideable."

[@arturchmielewski5044]

That's what i said last year when i saw Godziek's gap that he flipped. Riders get more insane every year. I just hope nobody gets hurt.

[@sabenator2770]

(he crashed and got heli lifted out)

[@millsshumps1968]

Unfortunately Gee crashed hard on the first practice attempt and now airlifted to hospital. He made the drop but the impact pitch him off the bike. He confirmed to medics that he can feel his toes so that is a decent sign of recovery. Doubt he'll return

[@markhowermtb227]

Ollie and Brendon actually spotted that huge gap at the top first, feel like they are not getting the credit.

[@ReverseRG1234]

Exactly, Brendan said he researched the line before they even got there

[@FreerideQuebec]

[@Mechabjornis]

For Pythagoras’ sake, that is not a 20m drop ! Guessing a horizontal travel of 5 meters, the vertical drop is 19,4 meters (64 ft.) Mellow.

[@sethharris3189]

On video the take off angle of the kicker looks way too flat, like he'll be piling into the back of the landing... can't wait to see him prove me worng though!

How do the lines this year feel to you compared to previous years @mattjones ? Also, I’ve done a little sum and I recon BrenDog with have a vertical vector of just over 70 kph at the bottom of that first shute and he’ll carry virtually all that - 70 say - forward. That sounds a ludicrous speed, but seems enough to get over the next 18m gap using that lips angle and the compression generated. But, honestly, I agree, FFS 🎉
