SAN MATEO, Calif., Oct. 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, GoPro (NASDAQ: GPRO) announced its return to the iconic red cliffs of Virgin, Utah for the 2024 Red Bull Rampage as the exclusive action camera of the world's premier big-mountain freeride mountain bike event.

All riders competing, including four of GoPro's mountain bike athletes, will wear GoPro's flagship HERO13 Black equipped with an Ultra Wide Lens to deliver immersive POV throughout the competition.
In the highly anticipated women's competition, GoPro athletes Vero Sandler and Casey Brown will compete against the world's best female freeriders.
