Inside the minds of Red Bull Rampage riders

How do you mentally prepare to send it off a 40 foot cliff?

Red Bull Rampage 2018

How does a rider prepare mentally for a Red Bull Rampage run? What goes through your head before you send a massive backflip off a cliff? How do you recover, and get ready to drop in again when you crash hard, right before your run?

Red Bull Rampage is a unique event in mountain biking, happening just once a year and pushing riders to the edges of what is possible on a bike. With the increased attention comes more pressure to perform, to build lines that challenge the abilities of riders and equipment alike. A whole week spent digging and building features on the cliffs of Virgin, Utah only adds to the anticipation, knowing you will then have to build what you’ve made.

Inside the Helmet provides a different, more reflective perspective on one of mountain biking’s biggest adrenaline fueled events of the year. Plus, new angles showing just how big some of these features are.
