In October 2023, I had the privilege of serving as the personal photographer for Austrian freerider Clemens Kaudela at the iconic Red Bull Rampage in Virgin, Utah, USA. This legendary event pushed the limits of mountain biking, with Clemens tackling awe-inspiring lines and massive drops carved into the rugged desert landscape.

As part of the production team, I worked closely with Clemens to document his incredible journey, capturing every intense moment—from the preparation on the ridges to the final adrenaline-filled runs. The result is a powerful visual story showcasing the grit, creativity, and pure passion of this world-renowned event.
