Jeremy’s the man behind the iconic Red Bull Rampage content production and event livestreaming. He’s been to every Rampage for 21 years as well as directed around the world from the Himalayas to the Gobi Desert, from sold-out concerts in L.A. to uninhabited islands at the North Pole.  His epic award winning mountain biking films, Where The Trail Ends, North Of Nightfall and many more have set the bar for stunning cinematography and pushed the progression of what we know as freeride mountain biking today.
