It took 2 decades, but the best women freeriders will finally get their time in the spotlight at Red Bull Rampage this year. The landmark mountain biking event has long been a boys-only club, but that changes this October.
Mountain biking lovers are clearly stoked to see women riders going for big-air stunts, because tickets sold out quickly. But you still have a chance to attend.
Outdoor apparel brand Wild Rye teamed up with Red Bull to offer two free tickets to this watershed moment for cycling. The brand will give away the tickets in a sweepstakes running from Sept. 10 to 20. So, if you (and your BFF!) would like to see eight badass women pulling off insane MTB stunts in the Utah desert, this ones for you.
The sweepstakes offers up a pair of 2-Day Packages for the winner. Already sold out on the Red Bull website, these packages cost $215-620 a piece. But the winner will get more than just admission. Theyll also receive two Wild Rye kits (so they can gear up a friend as well, obviously) and a $1,500 travel stipend.
The winner will be announced Sept. 22, just ahead of the Rampage event near Virgin, Utah, on Oct. 10-12.

Red Bull Rampage Tickets Sweepstakes So, what do you need to enter for this? Not a whole lot. Just enter your name and email address on the sweepstakes page on the Wild Rye website.
But to be eligible, you must also follow the Instagram pages of both @wild_rye_ and the outdoorsy comedian Katie Burrell (@katieburrelltv), who will be reporting from Rampage on behalf of the brand, which will air her comedic commentary via live posts on Wild Rye and KBTV.
Many sweepstakes now require a bit of social media tithing before giving away something for free, so nothing too surprising there. For more information, check out the entire list of official rules.
For the rest of us losers who dont have tickets, free or otherwise, well have to content ourselves with watching from the couch.
Catch the live broadcast of the womens event on Thursday, Oct. 10 at 9 p.m. Eastern Time or 6 p.m. Pacific Time. It will air on ESPN+, RedBull TV, and RedBull Bike’s YouTube channel.
In the meantime, get stoked by checking out the roster of women cyclists, including Argentinas Camila Noguiera, Canadas Casey Brown, New Zealands Robin Goomez, and Chelsea Kimball, the lone American of the bunch.
