Tom Isted: Inside Red Bull Rampage 2025 (Judging, Building, Injuries & More)

Tom Isted is back on The Ride Companion!

Fresh from Red Bull Rampage 2025, Tom stops by the studio to break down every detail of his time in the Utah desert — from building his line and flipping flat drops, to navigating event politics and dealing with the fallout from Adolf Silva’s crash. Tom shares how he manages risk, his honest take on judging, and what it really takes to earn respect at freeride’s biggest event. Plus, behind-the-scenes stories about his dig crew, surviving the chaos, and balancing family life while being one of the world’s most versatile mountain bike riders. We hope you enjoy the episode.
