What It Takes To Produce Red Bull Rampage

Twenty-three years ago, Todd Barber and a handful of freeride mountain bikers started an event that opened the doors to one of the most exciting disciplines in the sport. Red Bull Rampage has made a huge impact, and Todd and his team are continuing to grow the sport through the launch of Natural Selection - Bike, an event that is slated to launch next year in Queenstown. Throughout this discussion, we talk about the struggles and successes of putting together some of the biggest and most impactful events in the sport of mountain biking - including key moments of progression along the way, notably this year's inclusion of a women's category at Red Bull Rampage.   Show Notes: Red Bull Rampage: https://www.redbull.com/us-en/events/rampage Natural Selection Tour: https://www.naturalselectiontour.com/ Proving Grounds: https://www.instagram.com/provinggroundstour/ Josh Bender: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMTvzu4ojcU&pp=ygULam9zaCBiZW5kZXI%3D Paul Crandell (Original Red Bull VP): https://www.linkedin.com/in/paul-crandell-9974ba27/ Red Bull Recon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAPuKy9p9Xg Oakley Icon Sender (from Rampage): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnLGB7rqOis&pp=ygUSb2FrbGV5IGljb24gc2VuZGVy Natural Selection - Bike: https://www.naturalselectiontour.com/nst-bike Search For The Next Proving Grounds: https://www.pinkbike.com/news/full-film-the-search-for-the-next-proving-grounds.html Red Bull King Of The Rock: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzGtAVqzkow Hell Barge: https://youtu.be/oQA05rsD9ns?si=zuNdFJh35-fgn70O   BPC: Natural Selection: https://www.naturalselectiontour.com/ Where The Trail Ends (Film):  https://www.redbull.com/us-en/trailer-videos/where-the-trail-ends
