Only Red Bull could pull off and finance a trip like this: Five male mountain bikers and two female mountain bikers from different parts of the world spend a week riding big mountain lines in Chile.

Blasting down sandy mountain slopes isn’t exactly new, but it never fails to look like a dream when the riders carve lines and kick up dust like snowboarders and skiers in Alaska.

With Red Bull Rampage just around the corner, it’s hard not to imagine that this is what the terrain of the “Big Mountain” mountain biking “Big Bang” must have looked like: steep rocky ridges, with dust and sand in between. Nothing is altered—no kickers are shoveled, no sandbags are stacked, no ramps are built. Nature alone has built the arena; the riders’ talent and creativity determine what they make of it. Given everything that’s happened, isn’t it time to return to this format?

Red Bull has already provided the answer. But the riders who competed in the Chilean desert just can’t stop raving about the incredible terrain and the epic runs they got to experience there. It’s also cool that there are two women among them, tearing down the spines and chutes.

And for those wondering why the most sensational rider of recent years appears frequently in the video but isn’t seen on a bike even once: Brage Vestavik hadn’t yet recovered from an injury in March 2026, when the video was filmed. Instead, you see him in action as a line-choice consultant, cameraman, and cheerleader.

And once again: What female or male mountain biker doesn’t dream of kicking up some dust like that someday?
