Georgia Astle's Unlikely Road to Red Bull Rampage | Just Ride Sep 29, 2026

Show notes

Georgia Astle's journey to the top of freeride has been anything but conventional.
Georgia joins Rob Warner and Eliot Jackson on Just Ride to tell the story of how she went from discovering mountain biking as a teenager in Whistler to racing downhill World Cups and enduro, before eventually finding her place in freeride and standing on the Red Bull Rampage podium.
She opens up about the pressure that almost took the enjoyment out of racing, why stepping back helped her rediscover her love for riding, and how an unexpected opportunity at Red Bull Rampage changed the direction of her career.
Georgia also takes us inside the reality of riding Rampage, from choosing and building a line in the Utah desert to managing fear and knowing when a feature gets the green light. Plus, she breaks down what it took to hit the enormous El Presidente drop, why riders sometimes resort to throwing rocks to judge speed, and what goes through your mind when you're still waiting for the landing to appear.
She also discusses the progression of women's freeride, mentoring the next generation and why protecting her love for mountain biking remains more important than chasing every opportunity.
