First Ever Women’s Red Bull Rampage: The Results

Great coverage Hannah. Tiny bit jealous.

I only caught two runs over lunch … guess which! Bit heart-stopping!

Hopefully catch up later. Looking forward to it 🙂

Great write ups Hannah. I found it very overwhelming finally seeing woman ride Rampage. Here is to representation and many more 🙂

Watched Robin’s POV this morning on You Tube, going to watch the replay this evening, can’t wait.

I just cancelled all my meetings and watched it in work time – holy smokes! What a show – those girls absolutely rip!

It felt so much more like freeride and the original Rampage courses. There were fresh, gnarly lines, and less focus on doing tricks off everything and more about the creative lines choices to get down. Loved it, loved it, loved it!

(I know they added 2 women judges to the panel this year, but would be nice to get an even better split – always next year!)

Damn! Absolutely shredding it! Awesome work from all of the riders and all of the teams and thank you so much for the reports; I’m off to watch it now!

Absolutely this. Robin used tricking jumps to demonstrate her comfort in the terrain rather than the purpose of her run which, for me, is the right balance.

Absolutely loved it, so impressive. The riders beig mic’d up is brill too, i dont remember that from years past?

Chutes R’ Us and the Slot Drop subtley different names from what the women have actually been calling them all week too 😀

Great coverage @stwhannah too!

 

This is absolutely awesome to watch:

 

That was hugely enjoyable.  Loved the chat from the riders (not so much the commentators) and the background stuff.  The lines from Chelsea Kimball and Casey Brown were lots of fun and having mics on some of the riders really works.  Great event

Good coverage. Can STW do the same for the enduro racing too please next season.

@chrismac It’s amazing to be here but I am broken! I don’t think I’ve got it in me to do a whole enduro season on 5 hours sleep or less a night ?

Robin was a bit sweary up there. 🙂

Amazing runs. Great to watch.

Loved the write ups Hannah.

Mrs_oab and I just watched the highlights – here’s to more women riding like absolute legends at such events…

Yeah, great event. The end got the suspense levels up with Chelsea electing to go for a second run and possibly then beating robin who was also up top. Add in the wind speed was up so there was a will she/won’t she go. Edge of seat stuff

Watched it on replay this eve, it was quite difficult to find on the red bull app.

Great event with amazing riding anyway.

But Jesus Chelsea, be careful will you (scared face emoji)

Outstanding, I’ve loved reading the STW pieces from Hannah and everything surrounding this. Absolutely brilliant work from the riders and dig crews; pretty inhospitable conditions, building trails from nothing, with not many people and no machinery. I don’t think they could have done better. Brilliant and inspiring to show my 11 year old daughter too! 🙂

Top job Hannah!
