SEMENUK AND GOOMES WIN 2024 RAMPAGE
History was made as the world’s best freeride athletes conquered the Utah mountains and raised the bar for women’s mountain biking.
Seven of the world’s top women riders dropped in on the famous course in Virgin, Utah, for the first time and pushed the level of progression to new heights. In the end, New Zealand native Robin Goomes came out on top with the biggest and baddest line of the day.
The women’s debut Red Bull Rampage contest featured no shortage of mind-bending tricks and harrowing terrain. The coveted prize was ultimately claimed by Robin Goomes with 85 points, wowing the judges with two big Backflips during her run.
“It hasn’t yet sunk in,” Goomes says reflecting on the win. “It’s been such a process, so I’m trying to take it all in and enjoy it. I’m so stoked for my crew, they’ve gone so hard. If anything, I’ve done it for them, the sport and all the other riders.”

Brandon Semenuk Claims Record Fifth Red Bull Rampage Victory
Canadian star makes history in the Utah desert as the only five-time winner of the world’s premier freeride mountain bike event.
Seventeen riders descended on Southwest Utah’s red rock cliffs today, delivering some of the most progressive riding and biggest moments yet at Red Bull Rampage. It was anyone’s game, but Canada’s Brandon Semenuk eventually emerged victorious with a historic run.
Ultimately, Semenuk claimed a record-breaking fifth win in dramatic, last-gasp circumstances. The Canadian started his first run strong, wowing with a highly technical Tailwhip into his double drop, but what was looking like a podium-worthy run came to a halt when he crashed while attempting a Flip Whip.
“I’m just stoked to build a cool line, hang out with my friends and get down to the bottom,” Semenuk, 33, said. “It was an exciting event to watch. Some of the riding is on such a crazy level. I have good people around me and I’m happy to get down the hill.”
Following Thursday’s ground-breaking women’s red Bull Rampage contest won by New Zealander Robin Goomes, the men’s event left spectators on the edge of their seats, with no shortage of suspense.
