Over the course of three short years, the Red Bull Rampage has single handedly rewritten the book on mountain bike competition. Held amongst the desert cliffscapes of Virgin, Utah, this invitation-only freeride event features a unique format of judging a rider's performance on five categories, including line selection, fluidity and control. This format creates no shortage of dramatic action, and in that regard, we've posted some video highlights from the 2003 edition of this groundbreaking event. Click on the links below to bring the action straight to your desktop, and see how it all went down.
