How and when to watch Red Bull Rampage ad-free (UPDATE: now Friday & Sunday)

October 15, 2025

The Red Bull Rampage 2025 competitors are onsite in Southwest Utah, starting the final countdown to the events.

The first days onsite saw athletes scouting their potential lines. All 12 female athletes and 18 male athletes checked in for registration, marking the start of the competition.

Due to adverse weather, both events have been pushed back a day.

On Friday, October 17th the top 12 female riders will compete followed by the top 18 male athletes on Sunday, October 19th. Both broadcasts begin at 5.30pm UK and will be streamed right to this very page without the ads you may otherwise encounter on YouTube et al (scroll to the end of this article when it’s time)..

  1. just do these things for no reason, they’re pro-athletes or aspiring pros, so they’re doing it for making money, it’s their job. Whilst they enjoy it and would do it, they still do it to make a living. So with no prize money or event they may not push the same limits, however they would still ride the same stuff day in day out.

    That’s contrary to what you said above, that they’d ride it even without gain and regardless of who sponsored it.  So they do it for money, so the motivation is to push it.  I don’t believe that double backflip would have attempted had there not been cameras filming, media exposure and prize money at stake.  If he was just dossing around on the hill with a couple of mates.  

    Look their Instagram feeds and YouTube channels.

    Isn’t that sort of the point though, they ride this stuff normally but does it get a mention or exposure and “likes”. When you have a big media brand like RedBull behind it, with all the media support, does it then become all about (rider) exposure and profile?  Pushing it to grab the limelight? If it wasn’t RedBull and a much lower profile event on the same hill with no media or prize money, would they do it and be happy to much the envelope of risk?  

    Well no, that wasn’t exactly it, but i don’t see how we’re going to find a middle ground here, so i’ll bow out.

  2. I think the whole thing is a recipe for disaster.  one event per year, limited chances to make a living leads to riders taking insane risks they probably wouldn’t do usually.    Feels like the organisers are taking advantage of people trying to eek out living a dream.
    They don’t practice this all the time.  Don’t know if there would be enough support for several rounds across a few venues to help take the pressure off.  Could look at the snowboard/ski big mountain comps for inspiration 
     
    I also find Cam Maccaul increasingly annoying and the whole watching experience is something like NFL.  Boring.

  3. That screaming WOOOOOHOOOOOO woman on the live feed was worse than the crashes. Regarding the crashes, the riders are wired differently, total fruitcakes but know what they are doing at the same time.

  4. Just caught up. Had to stop watching after Silva’s crash, but only cos my partner was getting bored waiting and listening to concerned Americans. 
    Still think the event was amazing, one of the best Rampage’s I’ve watched. Some phenomenal lines and spins of stuff no-one else in their right mind would ever even ride off. Loved it.
    Naysayers, and wrap em in cotton wool declarers should just go watch something else.

  7. Don’t get me wrong their talent is amazing. I almost prefer the women’s runs as they have more natural flow to them, but why bother with a dig crew , just given them a JCB and big roller thing to pull behind it 
    Its a manicured track carved out of the side of a hill
    It appears all mtb these days is heading in direction of very man made tracks. Maybe it’s I’m just getting old and boring, but to me mtb was about getting out in nature and riding natural stuff

    I don’t think it would be possible to get the equipment up the hill. I’m sure you know, no paths are actually natural and they were probably a lot smoother than they are today when they were first made. 
    totally agree with the women’s runs  I feel the same about the World Cup dh. It’s possible to make out the riding technique rather than see the racers passing in a blur of speed.

    Sponsorship and prize money obviously help, but I guarantee if you ask any Rampage rider if they’d be doing it without the financial incentives they’d say yes.

    I feel that part of the issue for people is that red bull make more money out of rampage and take none of the physical risks.
    fortunately I was away from the telly during Adolf’s second run, I would not have wanted to see the accident.

  9. Re Red Bull covering medical expenses – I saw a Matt Jones vid recently where he said that they support their own riders really well with this and cover all medical expenses (I guess there’s an element of ‘he would say that wouldn’t he’), but it’s probably different if you’re not a red bull sponsored rider, but in a red bull event? I imagine that would be down to individual sponsorship arrangements…

    Fair enough. It would be interesting to know how far that extends. What if they have a life changing injury? Sure covering the medical cost of surgery but what about home adaptations, long term support etc. 
    It does feel to me that the riders take huge risks for the sponsors profits

    you think uci or whoop would cover costs if say Matt walker put himself in a wheelchair at a WCDH? No chance

    Of course not. The difference is one is a race and one is a glorified marketing stunt. But I’m not going down that road again as it’s well traveled

  14. That Silva crash looks really bad, he was nowhere near landing that double flip… Couldn’t believe Godziek got up from his to be fair! It’s a hard watch sometimes

    Hope he’s ok.
    Emil’s crash wasn’t great either.  Mad props to the guy who legged it over to catch him, which it seems like he did.  He was able to grab Emil and stop him from slipping further.

  15. There is a thing called Insurance so it wouldn’t be funding the costs, just the (likely extremely expensive) premium.  For a one off event like this, I’d be surprised if there wasn’t some sort of policy either taken by RedBull, or offered to the riders, or the riders organise this themselves.
    To go into something like this with no financial provision plan if things go wrong seems bonkers.   But we’ve all seen the use of GoFund me etc when people do take risks with insurance, or lack of it, so maybe they just don’t have it or the risk is too great to even get cover.

    At least in Rampage they get something out of it.  If you’re at the Olympics, you get absolutely nothing.  Yet Coke et al pay loads for sponsoring it.

  17. Injuries aside, that was an amazing spectacle and the best Rampage for some years IMO.
    The judging feels increasingly irrelevant though. I’ve no idea who should have won, but Isted got robbed.

    Forum reply »

  19. Everything I wanted to say has been said, but this 

    but Isted got robbed

    One. Hundred. Percent. The judging is an absolute farce. He had big exposure, tricks, big technical moves, and was given an utterly shit score.
    Kirschenmann was great to watch as well, felt like I was watching NWD on VHS.

  20. I wasn’t expecting Isted to win, as his top section wasn’t quite as gnarly as some – but I thought he might slot in around 3rd or 4th.
    The riding generally felt fresher and gnarlier this year though. Great coverage too.
    I was really impressed with most riders’ risk management as well. Not quote sure what happened to Emil as normally rides so precisely, but the two horror crashes were from riders who were really pushing it.
