Giant Factory Off-Road Team rider Kurt Sorge was among the world’s most talented freeride mountain bikers competing at the October 1-3 Red Bull Rampage competition near Virgin, Utah. Sorge, who finished second at the 2008 Red Bull Rampage, once again put on a show, piloting his green Giant Faith to some jaw-dropping airs in the extreme desert terrain that serves as the arena for the Rampage.

First held in 2001, the Red Bull Rampage is considered the most challenging freeride contest in the world. It showcases riders and their bikes in a creative, free-flowing format that allows each to choose their own lines and tricks over a 1500-foot vertical drop against the red-rock desert landscape. Kurt’s tricks included a jump over a massive 60-foot canyon gap. In the end, he finished in the top-10 among the world’s best.
