"The 2025 Red Bull Rampage is officially kicking off as riders and dig crews hit the Utah desert to scout lines, move dirt, and prepare for the most anticipated freeride mountain bike event of the year. Among the first on site is Casey Brown, riding for Trek Bicycles and Kenda Tires, who's joined by her hardworking crew as they begin mapping out the perfect descent for this year's competition."
"In her second daily Vlog from the Rampage venue, Brown gives us a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to plan and build a world-class freeride line. From tool selection and logistics to the mental focus required, it's a raw and honest glimpse at how much goes into the build process long before any tires touch dirt."

Teams often join forces to share sections, features, and manpower, creating a unique mix of competition and camaraderie that makes Red Bull Rampage one of the most special events in mountain biking."
