Jaxson Riddle was the only first-year Rampage competitor to make it all the way through to Friday’s finals this year. The young Utah rider stood out from the field, with his freestyle moto-inspired riding bringing a refreshing change of pace to the competition. With big airs, different tricks and a silky-smooth style from top to bottom in his run, Riddle clearly made an impression in his Rampage debut.
While the judges didn’t reward Riddle with enough points for a podium, he ended up ninth on the day, they did single the Rampage rookie out as this year’s most stylish rider. A solid prize for a rider so impressive in his first appearance at the iconic event.
