Video: DJ Brandt’s Rise to Rampage Episode 2

As a bit of an unsung hero of the sport, DJ Brandt is opening up about his rise into the top rungs of freeride mountain biking in his new series Rise to Rampage. Starting off with roots in Grand Junction, CO, the young ripper worked his way up through the ranks of slopestyle and freeride mountain biking, slowly making a name for himself in an industry already saturated with big names.
