Red Bull Formation announced today it will return for its third edition May 8 - 15, 2022. During the progression session, top freeriders will build and ride lines in the Utah desert in an event designed to provide mentorship, community, and the chance to break barriers and further develop women's freeriding.

Red Bull Formation 2022 will be the third edition of the event and it will have an expanded field of twelve riders, up from eight in 2021 and six in 2019. The rider list and venue have not yet been announced, but the format will remain the same as last year: three dig days, one rest day, and three ride days. Riders will work to sculpt their lines down the mountain with the help of mentors from throughout the industry.

bigquotesRed Bull Formation was formed to create a future path for women in freeride mountain biking. Last year was a spectacular event. We saw the sport progress in ways we didn’t think was possible in such a short amount of time, and it proves how much talent there is in the women’s field that needs the opportunity to blossom.Red Bull Formation Co-Founder Katie Holden

More information about the 2022 event will be announced soon. In the meantime, check out our interview with Katie Holden to learn more about the event and what we can expect from Red Bull Formation 2022.

 Not only did I subscribe forthwith, I paid extra for the VHS video series on how to pop a saddle rail back in.

"9 hours of saddle maintenance viewing ecstasy" Yo-ho-ho!

 I imagine the alternative subject choices were something like: “why is grease so greasy” or “why are stripped bolts so hard to remove” or maybe, “why is exercising so sweaty”
