RAMPAGE 2025’
Wow, that was a wild one. After a whole year of thinking about this journey, it definitely unfolded differently than we imagined.
Rampage is the pinnacle of this sport. The riders, diggers, and everyone involved go above and beyond to make this event happen. Yet, after this year’s event, we’re left with a lot of questions…
From the summer prep, building bikes, and the long drive south, to the final desert prep, scoping lines, hammering the build, and testing features through to game day, the whole process is an intense logistical and mental challenge, even when things go perfectly.
This year, things went quite the opposite. Crazy weather constantly interfered with the build, leaving minimal practice time and some wild test hits.
Unfortunately, after riding super solid all through practice,
@casey__brown__ took a massive slam on the biggest feature at the top of the line. She had to be heli-evacuated at night and transferred to the nearest city. Watching friends go down is never easy, but thankfully Casey was in great spirits and kept the vibes high even after taking a HUGEY!
We kept on the tools and lent a hand to friends who needed help finishing their lines. Contest days were a rollercoaster, the women’s event went perfectly, with all seven riders putting down two clean runs to the bottom - a Rampage first!
Men’s finals day was straight-up heavy. These guys are pushing what’s humanly possible, and sometimes, things just don’t go as planned.
Sending my sincere condolences to
@adolfsilva and his family ❤️ & really glad to see
@johanssoemil doing okay after a seriously scary crash .🙏🏼
I want to say a huge thank you to everyone involved. 🙌🏼
It’s going to take some time to digest this one.
