History
The competition was held since 2001 till 2004 and then canceled due to the increasing risk competitors were taking. After a three-year hiatus, Rampage returned in 2008 with a new venue. For the 2008 event wooden features have been introduced to what has previously been a "natural" only course.
The competition is usually held in October. The event is similar to freestyle skiing and snowboarding, where competitors are judged on their choice of lines down the course, their technical ability and the complexity of tricks. Red Bull Rampage has become one of the biggest mountain biking events of the year.
At the first ever Rampage in 2001, the prize money for the event was $8,000. In 2015, the total prize fund was $100,000.
