Kyle Strait 2013 Red Bull Rampage Champ – Videos & Photo Gallery
The 2013 Red Bull Rampage is in the books. Due to high wind during the second session, the finals were eventually called and results taken from each rider’s first run. Kyle Strait took the win with a smooth, confident run that featured a huge no-hander off the Oakley Sender feature. This is actually Kyle’s second win, making him the very first rider to have two Rampage championships under his belt. His first time was back in 2004, at the original Rampage location, when he was only 17.
Diamondback pro Kelly McGarry, from New Zealand took second place with what is arguably one of the biggest tricks ever at Rampage, a backflip over the 72-foot canyon gap. That earned him the inaugural Red Bull Bike People’s Choice Award. Third place went to Cam Zink, another previous Rampage winner. He also won the Utah Sports Commission Best Trick award for sticking a backflip off the Oakley Sender – another huge move that hadn’t successfully been done yet. Check out the photos below of Kelly and Cam’s big moves. Also make sure to check out the huge gallery of Red Bull Rampage photos by Rob Norbutt, below.
