A shadow fell over the sun-scorched cliffs of Virgin, Utah, during this year's Red Bull Rampage. What is celebrated as the pinnacle of freeride mountain biking became the scene of a terrifying sequence of events, as two of the sport's biggest stars crashed within moments of each other.
The back-to-back falls of Emil Johansson and Adolf Silva left spectators in horrified silence and prompted fans online to declare the competition the 'cursed Rampage'.
