Testing the reality of the Vision at Red Bull Rampage 2026 | Episode 2: Verification

The line is built, almost. Now it has to hold up. Episode 2 is where Tom Van Steenbergen finds out if the theory works. (Or sends in proxy, Carson Storch, to find out) Tom and his crew push through the final dig days before a rest day in St. George, where they spend time in a hyperbaric chamber to recover ahead of riding. Then it’s practice days 1 and 2, and the first real test of the features at speed, including Carson guinea pigging one of Tom’s biggest drops, the Big Lebowski. RAMPAGE 2026: TVS FIELD NOTES is a three-part series following Tom from first concept to finals day: EP01 — THEORY: Turn vision into reality. EP02 — VERIFICATION: Test reality against the vision. EP03 — STATEMENT: Put the result on display. Missed Episode 1? Watch here:    • Turning Vision into Reality at Red Bull Ra...   Subscribe so you don’t miss Episode 3.
