Pinkbike Awards - Best Trick

 Rampage needs to copy Crankworks and have a "Best Run" and "Best Trick" award. Could you imagine allowing each rider to focus on one feature and throwing their best trick off it without having to 'finish the run?' We would all be saying what Martin said when he almost died testing the x-games kicker... "Dude...That was insane!"

 That back flip was a real big dick pick-nick.

 They still do award for best trick, but that would be cool too.

 Not sure how well that would fly man. Trying tricks on perfect dirt, with nice wood lips, really brings down the intimidation of trying the trick. If you crash, you are probably going to be okay. Now take the idea of best trick and put it into the rampage style element. No one wants to try and 3 a massive drop, or flip a nutty stepdown, after you have crashed a few times... The risk of greater injury is much, much, much more real at rampage then on the nicely manicured dirt at c-worx.

 Don't forget it's also the first year the feature has ever existed, and he being one of a very few people to actually hit it... Mad props to Zink for actually doing a backflip over it, which just happens to be the largest in the world.

 McGary all the way!

 Yup, sign me up for the McGarry fanclub!

 Landing to a resi jump is way easier than landing to dirt.

 The frontflip bikeflip was 2014...

 i thought mikes flip-barhop-t-whip was pretty bad ass too...

 Saw that live during best trick, hot damn. The best part was he tried a flip barhop right before it and crashed pretty bad. So what, he figured he cant land a flip barhop, might as well throw a tailwhip in there just to see what happens? Haha Mike is the man!

 Watched it live on redbull.tv, could not believe what I had just witnessed. Could not imagine seeing it in person. Agreed, totally deserved!

 Totally agree. The pictures I've seen from the top of that drop look super scary, and the landing looks so small.

 What about flip barhop to tail whip by montgomery? no mention anywhere?

 surely you can be smoother the bigger with a back flip. cause you can rotate slower and spot your landing quicker and it's easier to slow your rotation, like he did to get it bang on.

 Well first of all it was off a drop so theres less momentum to flip, Its easier to over rotate and it was the first time he tried it. He wouldnt have known how fast to rotate and the landing forces on that drop would be massive, so to ride out of it with both wheels landing at the same time, then ride out straight I'd say was harder than flipping over a dirt jump personally.
