Video: Binggeli Returns to Rampage After Huge 2013 Crash

Sep 20, 2014
by Red Bull Bike  


Red Bull Rampage veteran competitor Logan Binggeli, who finished on the podium in third at the event in 2012, didn't enjoy the same kind of luck in 2013. After turning in a clean first run, Logan wanted to take it up a notch in run two, going for a huge backflip off the Oakley Icon Sender step-down feature. He landed it but quickly went off-line on the narrow landing and went over the bars, breaking his femur in the resulting crash.

As you can see in the video above, Binggeli bounced back for a successful 2014 season. "Racing's been really good this year," he says in the video. "I put that crash behind me as a crazy accident, and I'm looking forward to shredding it and giving it my all for this year's Rampage, just having fun and going for the win."

Unfortunately, in a heartbreaking twist, Logan broke his fibula in the same leg one week before athletes were due to arrive on site for Red Bull Rampage 2014. Showing his true colors as a die-hard Rampage competitor, however, he hasn't ruled out taking a run at the brand-new venue during the qualifying round. He'll make his decision two days prior, so send some positive vibes his way and help get him back on the bike.

 My DH/Shuttle bike is essentially a 1 speed, sometimes 2 or 3...it shifts so bad right now that I just don't bother, hahaha....not ideal, but it works around here...for now.

 Logan is testing out the single speed for rampage, trying to drop as much weight off the bike as possible, plus there's not much shifting involved

 Are the riders gonna take 650B wheels for rampage ? It s not a race SO here 26" have ALL the avantages !!
  • 1 1
 Apart from rolling over the rough stuff and the fact most racers competing at rampage will be used to and comfortable 650B?
  • 2 0
 And maybe some sponsor pressure

 Sponsors don't care what wheel size you run.... haha
  • 2 0
 Depends on the sponsor, if I'm advertising a new 650b bike and how awesome and versatile is I will put some pressure on the rider to use it on every contest possible. In the other hand if I'm a goggle sponsor I don't give a damn what wheel size is the trend

 What about rolling over obstacles?
  • 1 2
 Yeah for advertisements/edits and for shows where the bike is most on display but not for events where the rider's comfort level determines if they do well or suffer a really bad injury. That makes zero sense. If they completely stopped production of 26" wheeled frames then possibly but that's a different story.

 Well people.... looks like we might have weather to deal with, really hope it doesn't effect the contest! What if weather is a factor... what wil happen? Were gonna need updates people........

 He rides that jet ski like a goon! Stagger your feet buddy! Surprised those insane bike skills don't transfer over. Bummer that he was injured right before, would have been a sick rider to watch.

 Glad to see you are better. You crashed about 40 feet infront of me at Rampage and it totally looked like you broke your neck! Kick ass at Redbull Logan! Good luck.
