With a background in BMX and motocross, Reed made the full-time switch to MTBs after graduating from High School in his native Cleveland and shortly after threw himself into the heart of the Rampage scene, digging for Nicholi Rogatkin at the 2015 event before moving to Hurricane in southwest Utah to live, train and ride as close to the hallowed canyons of Virgin as possible.
Unfortunately, disaster struck soon after when the freeride icon hit the next step-down jump on the desert track. A mistaken landing on a backflip sent Van Steenbergen crashing over the handlebars. After on-site medical staff provided immediate assistance, doctors at a local hospital diagnosed several fractures.
– The riders had two runs of three minutes each to impress the judges with the rides scored on the difficulty level of the line, tricks and style, fluidity and control and finally altitude over the breathtaking cliffs, dizzying exposure and almost vertical gullies that connect the lines.
Even though the racing action this year has been affected so much, it was good…
