The New Zealander claimed her second consecutive women\u2019s Red Bull Rampage title today, throwing down a run that blended technical precision with huge freestyle flair.<\/p>\n<p>Under perfect blue skies and calm desert air, Goomes pulled off a run that will go down as one of the most progressive in Rampage history: a massive backflip, a suicide no-hander and a crankflip. Then a second suicide no-hander and another massive backflip. All linked through steep drops and exposed ridgelines that define freeride\u2019s biggest stage.<\/p>\n<p>There were no weather interruptions, no wind holds and no hesitation. Every rider got two full runs in, and the level of riding was higher than ever.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately Harriet Burbidge-Smith, <a href=\"https:\/\/cyclingmagazine.ca\/mtb\/casey-brown-and-vaea-verbeeck-crash-out-of-rampage-early\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Casey Brown and Vaea Verbeeck<\/a> were injured during practice and couldn\u2019t drop in today.<\/p>\n<p>Perfect conditions, perfect progression<\/p>\n<p>After years of campaigning for a women\u2019s event, this second standalone women\u2019s Rampage proved the point: the riders belong here. The lines were bigger, the tricks were cleaner, and the risk level was sky-high.<\/p>\n<p>Canadian pride on the podium<\/p>\n<p>Canada\u2019s Georgia Astle delivered one of the day\u2019s smoothest, most creative lines to take third place. Just like last year. She combined technical drops and clean style from top to bottom.<\/p>\n<p>Hannah Bergemann, one of the pioneers of women\u2019s freeride, took second, landing a fast, aggressive line that showcased her trademark control and confidence.<\/p>\n<p>A new era for freeride<\/p>\n<p>The 2025 women\u2019s Red Bull Rampage will be remembered as a milestone, not just for the tricks, but for the tone. Riders supported each other at the top, celebrated each other\u2019s runs and collectively raised the bar for what\u2019s possible.<\/p>\n<p>No wind, no drama, no excuses. Just progression at its purest.<\/p>\n<p>And at the centre of it all, Robin Goomes; backflipping her way into freeride history, one perfect Utah landing at a time.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Robin Goomes has done it again.
