"Rampage has come a long way since its first edition in 2001. Over the years, the bikes have gotten better, the hits have gotten bigger, and the riders have gotten more rowdy than ever. Now, in its 19th edition, the contest has expanded - with the women returning for year two. The event is set to not only reach new heights on the bike but to push female freeride to the forefront of the sport."
"The top three was a pool of deep talent from all over the world. Coming off the 2024 debut edition, expectations were high - and the riders answered. Defending champion Robin Goomes (NZL) claimed her second straight Rampage women's title by the narrowest of margins: 89.50 points, edging out female freeride powerhouse and Rampage rookie sensation Hannah Bergemann with 89.33 points, and Canada's ever-solid Georgia Astle in third at 87.66 points."
"she kept things smooth through the middle of her run, hitting a few more drops before setting her eyes on one of the most infamous features of this venue. Dubbed El Presidente, Astle took the quick way down - dropping 53 feet from the upper ridges into the middle of the course. Following up with a suicide no-hander, Astle kept things flowing all the way to the finish corral."
Rampage has evolved significantly since 2001, reaching its 19th edition with the women's field returning for a second year and the contest expanding. Twelve of the world's top female freeriders climbed, seven rode finals, and the event showcased larger terrain and progressive tricks. Robin Goomes (NZL) defended her Rampage women's title with 89.50 points, narrowly beating Hannah Bergemann with 89.33 and Georgia Astle with 87.66. Georgia Astle progressed from alternate to podium contender, choosing a bold line that included a 53-foot drop known as El Presidente and a suicide no-hander. The women's competition underlined rapid evolution and deeper global talent.
