    Going on 12 years of shooting Red Bull Rampage, Red Bull's photographer Paris Gore has been there for nearly every moment capturing incredible photographs perched on the side of a 50 foot cliff. Paris is dedicated to the athletes risking their lives out there to make sure their feats are captured with every bit of effort.

    Sunup to sundown, the world's best filmmakers and photographers are at the event lurking in the shadows of the cliffs that engulf Rampage waiting for the perfect moment in the perfect light. Beating the heat and hiking 10-plus miles a day around the venue is not an easy task, much less with a 50 pound camera bag gnawing at your back for hours on end. Paris's documentation of Rampage has hit global news outlets around the world in the most recent years with growing publicity of the event, showcasing incredible photography of some of the greatest moments in mountain biking.

    “Even from his early years of being a young photographer at Rampage, Paris never acted like a grom. I mean this in the way of feeling like he just always knows where to be at the right times, and he’s never getting in the way or approaching any of us when the timing isn't appropriate, calling out tricks or whatever,” says pro freerider Graham Agassiz. “After it’s all said and done he's usually one of the first ones to come over and check in as well, have a beer and share a laugh.”

    “This shot was one of my favorite pictures from my time riding at Rampage in 2015,” says pro freerider Tyler McCaul. “The people standing on the edge at the top left of the frame give a really good sense of the scale of this feature along with the steepness of the cliff. It feels like a look from the outside in … partially detached while still being a fly on the wall, and gives a completely alternate perspective from my view behind the bars. I always appreciate the way that Paris’ photos can tell a story in

    “As a rider in the Red Bull Rampage there's never a time you aren’t interested in getting your hard-earned features photographed and captured in the best light, best framing, etc,” says pro freerider Darren Berrecloth. “Having photographers like Paris behind the lens lets you focus on the task at hand as you always know they are coming home with the goods!”
    “Andreu Lacondeguy is one of my favorite riders to photograph in general and is always putting on an absolute show during the best light at Rampage,” says photographer Paris Gore. This image was taken at the 2022 edition of the event.
