Out in the deserts of Utah a squad of fearless females are building their ideal freeride line. The female freeride scene is popping at the minute, and Red Bull Formation is a culmination of the past year of progression with each rider getting a dig crew and pushing the limits of what they can do on a bike.

Based at the old Rampage site, there are some familiar features running about if you have a few Rampages under your belt. Headed by Katie Holden the rider list is stacked with kiwis, with Whistler whip-off champ Vinny Armstrong throwing down, and Veronique Sandler fresh off her Vision film both keen to see what they can put down.

2019 Red Bull Formation Rider List:

Vaea Verbeeck
Micayla Gatto
Tahnee Seagrave
Veronique Sandler
Vinny Armstrong
Hannah Bergemann

It still feels so surreal that this is happening right now and I’ve had the opportunity to be a piece of this puzzle and help make this thing a reality – I just keep looking around 🤯🤯🤯. It feels like a culmination of everyone & everything within the bike community – inclusive of all the people, experiences, successes, failures and dreams. And yet, this is just the beginning. I can’t imagine having had the path or clarity to have been able to create this a day sooner because I needed every bit of it to get here. You are all a piece of this puzzle whether you realize it or not, thank you. ❤️ 📷 : @parisgore
