Tyler McCaul POV Footage: Red Bull Rampage 2013

 Yea you get to see how fun and rowdy the trails are YEOo

 i actually got scared watching this!

 I'm so happy the UCI doesn't run the Rampage...

 well finally there are cameras, not potatoes taking the video, so actually worth watching, and the fact that everything is massive

 You can see every little rock on this video. The exposure and size of everything is insane.

 Dang dang dang! That is some wild sh*t!

 "yeoww! ha ha! i fcukin love rampage!"

- meanwhile i was nervous watching it on a screen. much respect to these riders. simply amazing. the exposure he had and that drop was scary.

 The best thing about it I think is that you could tell he just really had fun riding his bike, no wonder I like the McBros so much!

 I like POV...

 I thought this looked like a 3rd place run... OH WAIT, It WAS a 3rd place run, 'cept it didnt count. Durh, tmac done got robbed, durtdadert. *sarcasm*

 TMac got robbed.

 I don't want to start a riot on here but that run was tons more techniqual than mcgarys... I was generally scared for t-Mac send 30+ feet blindly onto narrow tight landings

 Keep in mind this was his second run, which didn't count

 ^^^this

 friggin crushed it. tenacious Tyler McCaul should have won. not chaotic Kyle Strait. haha

 Had the second run counted, he still wouldn't have won. Tyler and Andreu's second runs put them in 3rd and 4th (ahead of Zink but still behind Strait and McGary.) All four were unbelievable runs that probably would've won in past years. Zink getting a chance to link the backflip into a full run could've made it five. Great for those of us watching regardless of the judges' scores.

 I think he had one of the sickest lines..huge hits and very steep and technical...some of those landings were so skinny!

 Ya I like the natural stuff too, but throwing in a little bit of wood opens up some possibilities. And I'm pretty sure that the jump at 1:01 wasn't made out of dirt either . Take the canyon gap for example, it wouldn't be possible without that massive man-made jump.

 Who cares. Big wood features or big dirt features, they're both nuts and both are pivotal in freeriding being where it is today. You're a 14 yearold living in Whistler... you should know better than to hate on wood.

 No wood, no Zinc back-flip!

 Oh Snap, Scott done his research!

 Naw, dawg. My brains just stacked full of the goods.

 second that!!! no room for error.....

 x1000

 me too man. that flip looked totally blind from down there. was so sick.

 Met this guy in an elevator in Whistler. He immediately started a conversation with me and was hilarious and really humble actually. Which is awesome to me. And this line scared the crap out of me. It was so well executed, and so high risk. He looked poised throughout the entire run. Keep riding hard man, we all notice and appreciate how skillful you've become on a bike.

 "F*ckin love Rampage" haha total badass

 I'm thinking in a few generations the POV recorders will have 3D & tilt meters. Altimeters & speedometers will come with the built in GPS functionality. Then you will need a TV that can shoot wind, water, hail, sleet, snow, dirt & mud at you when you watch the video to make it 4D. And Mike Tyson waiting behind you, in case your POV recorder happens to take a fall. This will give the riding more justice, but still not a sense of realism. We just gotta go find 65 footers to jump or huck. Then we might have an idea.

 That's what I was thinking. He filled the entire run with huge airs from top to bottom. He practically fell the entire way down. Defiantly one of my all time favourite rampage runs.

 Agreed. Biggest natural drop of the event. Amazing run. He got screwed for going first. I'm a big fan of his and his brothers. They came up riding the hits I helped start and build. I think Cam got hosed last year and I think Tyler got hosed this year.

 Er, because it's natural, and not all made of wood, with a team of diggers and machinery! The 'buffed' out but was all done by TMac and his crew of 3.. It was also unique to only him, it required foresight to see the line and realise it.. I think you have misunderstood the term Natural with regards to mountain biking. If you think anyone is going to just launch 50+ feet or even 20 feet, without clearing some kind of run in and run out, you'd be mad! Besides the likelihood of finding something totally rideable without touching it, which is what you seem to be implying.

 I never said anything about not touching it or not grooming it in some way, that of course has to be done. But that doesn't change the fact that they built a run in, and built up and shaped a nice, basically perfect landing. Like I said, I'm not taking away from what he did, I think it's more that I think people sell short the wood features. People always compare the 'man made' vs 'natural' when I think they really mean 'wood' vs 'dirt'. Because lets be honest, at this stage of Rampage, everyone's run is full of 'man made' features. When you go to a bike park and see a buffed up trail with jumps and berms do you call that a 'natural' trail just because its all dirt? No that's considered man made.

 So sino428. We all know every line at Rampage is "built", and the judges know what line the rider is planning on running. So what will make it fair? Should the riders get bigger build crews that can build their own wood work? Or are some riders just going to be more lucky with selecting lines with the woodwork already built? So they have more time to practice.

 I'm not sure what you are asking here but my only point really is that most of the big stuff (Jumps and Drops) in Rampage are man made, whether it be out of dirt of wood. I'm just saying that to me the riders should all be given the same credit for going huge whether it be off their own line they built themselves or the pre-built stuff.

 I think you just agreed with what Sith and I have been saying?

 Think I've watched it at least 10 times. LOL!

 That's what impressed me the most. You can't even tell how big it is he hit it so smooth. Then you see it from the other angles and it's like... DAMN!

 Mother F'ing WORD!
