Mountain biking’s truest test of skill and mental toughness – Red Bull Rampage – returns today for its 14th edition, live from Virgin, Utah, USA, and will deliver one of the craziest events of the year, with the biggest drops, steepest cliffs and the best riders from freeride, downhill and freestyle all competing for freeride mountain biking’s most coveted title. Six Canadian riders are among the 21 invited athletes who will take part in the competition. Canadians will cheer for 2018 champion, Mount Albert, Ontario’s Brett Rheeder, who is known for his fluid style and huge tricks, as he will attempt to defend his title in his seventh year at Red Bull Rampage.
Buckle up! The Crandon World Cup returns to the Northern Woods of Forest County, Wisconsin for its 50th anniversary. This adrenaline-packed off-road racing is a non-denominational event open to the best PRO-class racers in the sport and is known as the “Super Bowl of short course off-road racing.”
