It’s not  huge surprise who won Rampage today, but it was close for a minute there. Robin Goomes managed to do something no one has ever done before; she won three Red Bull Rampages in a row.

The 30-year-old New Zealander claimed her third consecutive Rampage title after a second run that included a flat spin, a backflip off a massive step-down, a suicide no-hander and a backflip cancan near the bottom.

Her score of 93.50 was enough to hold off American Hannah Bergemann, who had been leading after the first runs and came seroiusly close to a win just like she did last year.

One mountain, one start gate

The 2026 edition of Rampage is back on the same mountain where it started 25 years ago. Men and women are sharing the same starting gate this year for the first time ever. Both men and women have spent more than a week digging, shaping and testing their lines before today’s competition.

Chelsea Kimball was the first rider to drop and immediately crashed on Clifford the Big Red Drop. She slid out on the landing and disappeared into a cloud of dust. Thankfully she got back up quickly and rode to the finish.

Canadians get it done

Kirsten Van Horne dropped early on and had one of the strongest opening runs of the day. The Canadian mixed an impressive collection of tricks, including a toboggan, a tuck no-hander, a suicide no-hander off a massive drop and an Indian air near the bottom.

She rolled into the finish looking pretty pleased with herself.

“Stoked on it,” she said.

The judges were also stoked on it and gave van Horne an 86.50 that put her in the lead early. By the time second runs came around Van Horne chose not to take a second run. She was tired, the wind was starting to pick up and she was already on the podium.

Canadian Georgia Astle also had a solid day. Astle, who finished second in 2024 and third in 2025, tackled a massive 45-foot drop she’d named Job for Every Tool. After casing an earlier feature, she held things together, cleaned the big drop and finished with a stylish table. Astle scored 80.37 on her opening run. While she didn’t make the podium this year, her team did win the Digger Award.

Bergemann throws down

Bergemann was second at Rampage last year, missing the win by less than a point. Her opening run included one of the highlights of the day. She threw a backflip near the top of the course and managed to survive a nose-bonk on the landing. Super gnarly to watch. Then she charged through a raw chute, cleaned a massive drop and finished with a suicide no-hander.

The judges gave her a 91.25.

First place. Then Goomes dropped in.

The two-time defending champion threw a flat spin 360, a backflip off a step-down, a suicide no-hander and another backflip near the bottom.

It was an incredible run, but the judges awarded her a 90.62 for second place.

The second-run showdown

With the wind picking up and the tracks getting dusty, some riders chose to skip their second attempts. Goomes wasn’t one of them.

And her second run was faster, cleaner and more aggressive. The flat spin was smoother. The backflip off the step-down was perfect. She nailed the suicide no-hander and added a cancan to her massive backflip at the bottom. Everything she’d done in run one, she somehow did better in round two.

“Surely the judges like that one,” she said at the bottom.

They did. They gave her a 93.50. Now Bergemann needed the run of her life.

She answered with another solid run, cleaning the backflip, attacking the technical sections and throwing a huge suicide no-hander before rolling into the finish. But when the score came in, it wasn’t enough.

Goomes had done it again.

Three in a row

“It means the world,” Goomes said after the win. “I knew I could do it, but that was some really healthy competition with Hannah. I knew I had more to give, but it’s so hard to do it in a top to bottom run. It feels impossible.”

There were other impressive performances throughout the day.

Casey Brown made her return after a nasty practice crash last year, cleaning the intimidating Maxi Pad feature and finishing her run with a suicide no-hander.

Twenty-year-old Janelle Soukup survived a frightening second-run crash in the Poop Chute, got back up and finished. And Kimball returned to clean the massive drop that had taken her out on run one.

For the most part, the event moved along rnice and quick. There were no major wind delays, a welcome change from some previous Rampage broadcasts.

Twenty-five years after the first Rampage, on the same Utah mountain where it all began, Goomes became the first rider in the event’s history to win three consecutive titles.
