Ultimate Mountain Athlete, presented by the 2024 Toyota Tacoma, returns to the wind-whipped summit of Red Mountain 3, where athletes transition to the Big Mountain Descent. This timed and judged individual run puts points on the line as the athletes—with legs and lungs burning—navigate high-speed lines down nearly 2,000 feet of steep, cliff-lined terrain. Next, the competition moves to lower elevations for the first of two gravity-based bike challenges, starting with an Air DH flow race. Riders earn points for speed and judged style, while pumping through a series of tricky jumps, tabletops and berms. Learn more about the 2024 Toyota Tacoma and watch the complete third episode of Ultimate Mountain Athlete.
