Women Supporting Women, Wild Rye Sets Up Camp At Women’s Freeride Mountain Bike Event

Sun Valley, ID /OUTDOOR SPORTSWIRE/ –  Wild Rye, the women-founded, women-led and women-specific mountain bike, snowsports and outdoor apparel company, is proud to announce a partnership with Red Bull Formation, the premiere women’s big mountain freeride invitational progression session. Running from May 8-15, 2022, in Virgin, Utah, Red Bull Formation is the first-of-its-kind freeride event to incubate the world’s top talent and create a future path for women in the sport.

Katie Holden, co-founder of Red Bull Formation, helped establish the event in 2019 to push the boundaries and bring together the top female freeriders in the world to ideate, create and compete in one of the most iconic mountain biking locations in the world. Their task? To create a top-to-bottom line out of steep, unforgiving terrain, that illustrates their skill, style and power as well as push the women’s field further than ever before.

“Red Bull Formation is a chance for women riders to truly showcase what they’re capable of,” said Holden. “Now in its third year, this event is like no other in mountain biking, and brings together the best freeride athletes in the industry industry. Not only is the sport being pushed to new heights, we are also working side by side to lift each other up, learn from one another and create more space.”

Wild Rye will offer a media and industry lounge space at the event, a refreshing oasis and retreat for those involved in and providing visibility to the event. The aim is to provide sanctuary for those working and competing in the blistering heat, and to bring women together to share stories, laughter and memories during this incredibly inspiring and impressive display of athleticism.

“We’ve been huge fans and supporters of Red Bull Formation since its inception and we couldn’t be more proud to partner with them and to offer a space for connection and relaxation during an exceptionally tough week of digging and riding,” said Wild Rye founder and CEO, Cassie Abel. “It’s an honor to work alongside these women, who are putting their skills on display on some of the toughest terrain in the world, and doing it just as deftly and impressively as the guys at the top of their game. These women are inspiring and showing the next generation of young girls what’s possible, and we’re here for it.”

As a women-led and women-focused brand, known for its strong stance on women’s rights, supporting women-led businesses, and women in sports, Wild Rye is the perfect partner for Red Bull Formation, bringing its own experience, passion and dedication to the amplification of women athletes and events for women. Wild Rye’s collection of mountain bike apparel is representative of the brands commitment to inclusivity and representation in sports and life, and the brand plans to bring its powerful ethos and message to the Red Bull Formation playing field.
