The competition format will remain the same, with an elite group of riders carving their ultimate lines into the side of near-vertical sandstone ridges with the help of their two-person build crews. In advance of the competition, riders and their support crew will spend four days building their lines, followed by a rest day, and then four practice days. All of the preparation will end in an epic showdown in the desert, where only one will ride away as champion of the 2023 Red Bull Rampage.
