VIRGIN, Utah (October 8, 2026) \u2014 New Zealand\u2019s Robin Goomes became the first rider to win three consecutive Red Bull Rampage titles, topping the women\u2019s field with a 93.50-point second run. Hannah Bergemann finished just 0.75 points behind her in second, and Canada\u2019s Kirsten Van Horne took third.<\/p>\n

Rampage returned to its original venue near Virgin for the event\u2019s 25th anniversary. The competition began there in 2001. For the first time, men and women shared a start gate at the event\u2019s tallest venue yet, which offered more than 200 meters of vertical descent across 90 acres.<\/p>\n

Goomes delivered the winning run with a flat spin 360, a backflip off a massive step-down and a backflip cancan near the bottom. Her flat spin 360 marked a first for the women\u2019s field.<\/p>\n

To prepare, Goomes built a training compound at home in New Zealand and practiced the backflip step-down until the move became second nature.<\/p>\n

\u201cWinning once was something I never thought I could accomplish, so winning this third title is a dream,\u201d Goomes said. \u201cThe pressure seems to just keep building. All I knew this year is that if I wanted to do it again, I\u2019d have to push harder than I\u2019ve ever done and be better than I have been previously. So that was the goal coming in \u2014 just work hard for it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bergemann claimed second for the second consecutive year. She opened with a 91.25-point run that combined a backflip near the top, a raw chute section, a massive drop and a suicide no-hander at the finish. She improved to 92.75 on her second attempt, landing the backflip cleanly and charging through the technical terrain.<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, for me, the podiums are just the cherry on top of the week. So much goes into this event behind the scenes,\u201d Bergemann said. \u201cMonths and months, years of prep on the bike, getting everything ready, then building for ten days and practicing\u2026 by the time you get to comp day, you just want to do your thing. And if I accomplish the goal I set out to do, I\u2019m happy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bergemann said she took particular pride in the power and speed she brought to both runs.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just really wanted to charge and was super fired up to finally ride my bike,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Van Horne rounded out the podium with an 86.50-point first run. She linked technical chutes and exposed ridgelines with precision, maintaining flow and control through the venue\u2019s steep terrain.<\/p>\n
