roars back to the ridgeline after a devastating injury year in 2021. A tibial plateau fracture during an April practice session came first. Then, he broke both collar bones in two separate accidents — the second one during Rampage practice.Alex Volokhov arrives at Rampage for his ninth straight year but is slated to ride for the first time ever. That’s because he’s graduating from his longtime position as Kurt Sorge’s lead builder to the rider field thanks to a wildcard bid.
Anyone who’s ridden it in previous Rampages most likely had to start almost from scratch in the digging phase this year. Wet weather rapidly makes mud out of the soft, loosely consolidated Southern Utah sandstone. Almost every Rampage athlete recruits digging help from people they’re close to. Diggers have to know their rider’s style and be able to communicate fluently and transparently about how they can best express it on the terrain they’ll create.
Sorge’s lyric description of that pivotal moment is the tip of the iceberg: Rampage is notoriously challenging mentally, and riders spend months building the confidence they need to perform in such a demanding arena.
