AFRAID Of Heights? Exclusive Red Bull Rampage Access - Dig Day Chats

#loamwolf #redbullrampage
After years of watching Red Bull Rampage from afar, our new-guy behind the lens, Max Rhulen and myself (Rob) were fortunate enough to pay a visit to Virgin, UT for the first week of the revered 2023 Red Bull Rampage freeride event. Thanks to Can-Am we were able to gain special access to the event site and witness the 18 athletes and their dig crews carve in their lines for this year’s contest. Since Can-Am ambassador and ten-time Rampage competitor Tyler McCaul was sitting this year’s event out due to a recent ankle fusion, we were able to wrangle him into being our co-host and historian as we ventured into the hallowed grounds for our first time. It was an amazing experience for a first timer from the UK to get this sort of a tour and time with the riders, their dig crews and to see the absolute massiveness of this event first-hand. Check out the interviews from several legendary riders and their diggers as they prepare for the craziest mountain bike event in the world!

As the 2023 venue had been previously used five times - including the most recent 2022 event - most riders did not have to start from a blank canvas, although some riders who were new to the venue opted to anyway. Due to heavy rains falling on the arid hillside over the summer, soils had shifted, and rain ruts had developed, so there was still plenty of work to do to get the lines dialed in, even for riders committed to riding the same line down the hill as the year prior.

Thanks to @CANAMOFFROAD for getting us here.
