WHAT: Red Bull Rampage rolls into Virgin, Utah for the seventh time since 2001 and is guaranteed to be filled with suspense as fans get to watch the world’s favorite riders battle it out on a unique desert mountain course.

WHEN: Qualifiers, October 5th and Finals, October 7th

A live webcast will capture all the action on October 7th at 1pm MT at www.redbullusa.com/rampage. Fans can tune into the TV broadcast on NBC as part of the Red Bull Signature Series. The event will air on Saturday, December 8th from 2 to 4pm.

WHERE: Remote site near Virgin, Utah located off of Highway 9
