Men’s Red Bull Rampage // 2024
For the first time ever, both women and men brought their shovels, watering cans, and diggers to the Utah desert to sculpt what each hoped would be a winning Red Bull Rampage line.
After almost two weeks straight of digging, building, and shaping, competitors prepared and tested their features until it was time to put it all together in finals.
Robin Goomes made history twice over. She was the first ever woman to complete a top-to-bottom run at Red Bull Rampage with a score of 85 points and then claimed the first Red Bull Rampage win from that very same run.

The Men’s event was held two days after the Women’s, with a day of practice in between. Both Silva and Boggs practiced their backflips on the “Price is Right,” one of the biggest drops in Rampage history, clocking in at 95 feet. The energy from Boggs, Silva and everyone on the hill that night was buzzing.
The wind was building throughout the week and coming to a head the morning of the big show. All riders were able to get their first run in after a 3+ hour wind delay. Adolf Silva was the first of the Yeti riders to drop and laid down a solid first run - backflipping the ‘Price is Right’ drop and double backflipping his smaller trick jump, earning a score of 83.4. He sat in first place for a brief time until Kurt Sorge’s score of 87.3. Silva’s run earned him 8th place overall, a massive improvement over 2023 where he finished last after massive crashes in both runs.
“Rampage this year was a crazy one, everyone was throwing down and doing big stuff. Stoked I got to do what I wanted in my run and finally put one together. It’s been a couple tough years, but finally got it. Stoked to be in the top-8 and come back next year!"- Adolf Silva
Reed Boggs and his build crew were working on his brand-new feature, ‘The Guardian’, until the proverbial final bell. Between the last-minute finish and high winds, Boggs was unable to test The Guardian, forcing him to hit it during his scored competition run for the very first time. His plan was to use run one to determine run-in speed, and trick it in run two. As with Silva, the wind rendered his second run too dangerous, leaving him with his one and only run to be his final score. Boggs finished the day in 12th.
“Rampage man… you never know whose year it’s going to be. Although I didn’t get my dream run, I stomped the biggest backflip of my life, and competed a full top to bottom run without even practicing my last 50-foot drop! I’m excited to return next year with a foundation line, few more tweaks on it and I’ll have my dream run. Special shoutout to my builders who dug sun up to sun down to get me off that new drop, The Guardian! We will be back in full force... DON’T SLEEP ON US!”- Reed Boggs
