"As I made my way up from the bottom of the course, the first rider I saw was Robin Goomes. Robin has been a steady hand all week and was putting in test hits from top to bottom. She was seen flipping a jump lower on her line near the finish corral, hiking, and ripping a massive chute off the top. In classic Goomes fashion, she was calm, cool, and collected-looking strong on every feature she hit."
"Cami Nogueira was back on course after dislocating her elbow a couple of days ago. She was alongside Georgia Astle, and the two were working out the speed for a drop mid-mountain. The ladies were dialing in speed and figuring things out step by step. For the women, this is a bonus day. Since today was initially supposed to be contest day, the extra practice and added bonus of great riding conditions have been a gift."
"Chelsea Kimball was working her way through a couple of massive features on her line and, after dropping El Presidente, set her sights on the top of the course and taking her first hits on the Battleship. Kimball spent a good amount of time dialing in her speed and visualizing. At one point, she could be seen running across the ridge with her arms out in front of her, mimicking having her hands on the bars."
Practice on the fourth official day at Virgin, Utah featured the women's side of Red Bull Rampage riding big and confirming key line features. Robin Goomes ran top-to-bottom test hits, flipped a lower jump near the finish, hiked, and ripped a massive chute, appearing calm and strong on every feature. Cami Nogueira returned after dislocating an elbow and worked with Georgia Astle to dial speed for a mid-mountain drop. Chelsea Kimball worked El Presidente and the Battleship, spending time visualizing and widening lines by inches. Dirt conditions were prime and wind low, making the extra practice a valuable bonus.
