Garth Milan\/Red Bull Content Pool.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The competition took place in a brand new venue set against the incredible backdrop of mountainous Southern Utah. This year\u2019s competition went back to basics with an updated event format, providing the riders a clean slate to carve out their own personal lines down the mountain with the help of a 2-person build crew.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI loved the new venue. There were fewer riders with really big open space, which provided more room for people to get creative. The digging and the builders were on another level this year,\u201d said the champion.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image\" href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-13651500-1476648991.jpg\" data-fileid=\"821632\" data-fileext=\"jpg\" rel=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-fileid=\"821632\" class=\"ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed\" alt=\"ccs-62657-0-13651500-1476648991.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-13651500-1476648991.jpg\" title=\"\"><\/a><span class=\"italic text-sm text-slate-500 block mt-1 mb-4\">Graham Agassiz rides his line at Red Bull Rampage in Virgin, UT, USA on 14 October, 2016.
