At the second Women’s Red Bull Rampage in Virgin, Utah, riders pushed the limits of skill and courage. Robin Goomes claimed first place, followed by Hannah Bergemann and Georgia Astle, building on the historic 2024 debut. MTB Girls photographers Ashley Stewart and Mack Lambert captured every moment of determination, creativity, and progression as these women redefined what’s possible in freeride.
The red rocks of Virgin, Utah, were alive with energy this week. Dust swirled in the desert sun, and the wind carried the sound of shovels striking stone, the hum of tires on dirt, and the quiet, focused conversations of riders and dig crews. It was Dig Week, the sacred prelude to the second-ever Women’s Red Bull Rampage, and for those who had front-row seats, it felt electric—like watching history being carved literally into the cliffs.
MTB Girls photographers Ashley Stewart and Mack Lambert were there every day, cameras in hand, capturing each moment: the tense pause before a drop, the joyful fist pump after a clean landing, the quiet determination between runs. This was a week of grit, courage, and progression, and every rider on that course knew it.
Dig Week: Crafting Lines, Building Dreams
At Rampage, Dig Week is more than prep—it’s ritual. Each rider is paired with a small crew, armed only with hand tools and sandbags, to sculpt the line they’ll ride in competition. For three days, women hacked, shoveled, and molded the rock and dirt into features that would challenge the best freeriders in the world.
Beyond the physical labor, Dig Week is a mental game. Riders visualized every transition, every drop, every landing. They rehearsed moves that could only exist in imagination until the dirt took shape. And Ashley and Mack were there to capture it all—the quiet focus, the sparks of creativity, and the camaraderie that fuels women in this sport.
Women’s Red Bull Competition: October 16, 2025
The sun rose over the cliffs, painting the red rock in gold. Twelve women were scheduled to ride, though a few withdrew due to injury, leaving a field of fearless competitors ready to push the limits. Each rider had two runs, with the higher score counting toward the final results.
The course was unforgiving: blind drops, razorback spines, and rocky landings tested every ounce of skill, courage, and precision. And yet, the women didn’t flinch. They attacked each line with a mix of aggression and finesse, raising the bar higher than ever before.

Robin Goomes, already a legend from last year’s inaugural Rampage, showed once again why she’s a pioneer. Her fluid yet aggressive lines, combined with fearless drops, earned her the top spot. Hannah Bergemann was a close second, her precision and control evident in every feature she tackled, while Georgia Astle demonstrated finesse and courage to secure third.
Looking Back: The 2024 Debut
The women’s movement at Rampage began in October 2024, when Robin Goomes (NZL) made history by winning the first-ever Women’s Red Bull Rampage with a score of 85.00, followed by Georgia Astle (CAN) at 79.00 and Casey Brown (CAN) at 77.33. Goomes also claimed the Best Trick award with two flawless backflips, showing the world what women were capable of on Rampage’s massive cliffs.
Other 2024 standouts included Vaea Verbeeck (Trailblazer Award), Cami Nogueira (Toughness Award), and Vinny Armstrong’s Dig Crew (DECKED Digger Award).
Making History, One Drop at a Time
From 2024 to 2025, the progression has been clear. Bigger tricks, tighter lines, higher scores. More than just competition, Women’s Rampage is a stage where riders push each other—and the sport itself—to new heights.
For Ashley Stewart and Mack Lambert, capturing this evolution meant freezing moments of courage, determination, and creativity in time. For the riders, it meant leaving a permanent mark on Rampage and the freeride world. And for fans of mountain biking, it was a chance to witness history, in real time, on some of the most demanding terrain in the world.
This is freeride. This is Rampage. And these women are leading the way.
