The Red Bull Rampage is an invite-only men's freeride mountain bike competition held in the Zion National Park near Kolob Resovoir Road in Virgin, Utah, USA. The competition was held from 2001-2004 and then cancelled due to the increasing risk competitors were taking. The Rampage however was re-introduced for the 2008 season. The Event will be held from 2 to 5 October.
The event is similar to freestyle skiing and snowboarding, where competitors are judged on their choice of lines down the course, their technical ability and the complexity of tricks. For the 2008 event wooden features have been introduced to what has previously been a 'Natural' only course.

Trivia
- Kyle Strait is one of few riders who has entered all four Rampage events; he was only fourteen when he entered the 2001 event.
- In 2004, a new area was to be added to the course. However, bad weather conditions meant that this part had to be abandoned.
- The finals of the 2004 Rampage was held on Halloween. To mark the occasion, Cedric Gracia dressed up as Captain America for his final run. Unfortunately, he crashed out of the competition, and was unable to defend his title.
- Kyle Strait also dressed up as a teddy bear, although he did not actually attempt his run in the costume.
- The Rampage will return in mid-October 2008 after a four-year hiatus.
