CMNCL Volume II - Brett Rheeder Red Bull Rampage 2022

From dialing in a custom FRS bike in Andorra to getting the wild card invitation at Proving Grounds, Volume I showed the necessary steps to get back into the highest level of freeride competition after a 2.5-year hiatus.

VOLUME II dives into the mindset of Brett and his new perspective toward competition. Following his team through the grueling 10-day process of Red Bull Rampage, this is a statement of pushing boundaries for what’s possible in trail building and biking. “The Volume series helped me transform into a better person. At first I didn’t fully understand the importance of telling my story of returning to competition after 2.5 years off, but now it is clear that it was to be able to put a positive message into the world. I don’t want athletes and people who put pressure on themselves to suffer. So hopefully watching both videos in the series can help inspire people to be true to themselves, and get rid of negative human character traits that subconsciously stick with us. I had to set the record straight for myself, that competitions can be won without having internal pressure to win. So many of us expect that we need to be the best, and anything less is unacceptable. This was how I used to live before competing in Proving Grounds and Red Bull Rampage. My future is still a little unclear, since announcing my retirement from competition I have been on a deep journey of understanding who I am, and finding what I truly want for my future. I will still continue riding my bike at a professional level, and activate for video content. I'm also currently in Quebec filming for a video project that should come out this summer! The Volume collection is an unscripted series blending the stories of product development and athletic achievement.” – Brett Rheeder
