 I won't say who but it's somebody you wouldn't expect to poach
  • 20 1
 For some, it must be hard to compete with guys who have a big and well organized digging crew. Will probably only has his girlfriend there
  • 14 2
 Who is it?

 Yeah seems like there is some controversy over who's territory it is… Is it that bad? Or guy's help out each other?

 MTBers don't like bikes for the riding, they like the gossip. Spill, spill! Smile

 I told Wil I wouldn't tell anybody. I'm not going to break that trust.

 Best not to post anything at all on an international site in the first place then...
  • 4 2
 "I'm going to tell you that I know but I won't tell you who it is" So you're just claiming that you know a bit of info. then? Cool...

There are not many line choices off the top. More than a few riders will be using parts of lines that others have built and some of them are working together. In a perfect world there would be enough space for everyone to have their own line but there's too many people out there. Oh well.
  • 3 0
 Ultimately it's a competition of riding, and competing over lines seems a bit juvenile. In saying that, I think the riders who use part of someone else's line should ask first, help with digging, and generally be a good dude about it.

 I read last year Strait and Zink claimed the drop in for the highest Oakley Senders, riders have to pay toll to use it else they wouldn't have enough speed to clear it.

 ^ Source or it is just more mindless gossip Smile
  • 25 1
 'pretty mellow' for semenuk is probably some 40ft canyon gap with a couple of 20ft senders

 He's not coming. It's in the article on Mike Kinrade :/

 Why is Mike Montgomery pre qualified and dudes like Aggy, Rheeder, Granieri, Vink, Gulevich, etc... aren't?
  • 1 0
 he had higher points last than them last year.

 Maybe in table tennis competitions...

 You know when Semenuk calls something pretty insane it's gotta be absolutely absurd
  • 2 0
 I was just thinking about that. Fairclough mentioned something about scary lines from other guys too.

I can't imagine what's about to come.... cos if these guys are "scared".... those lines are gnarly as hell for sure!!!

Mama mia!!!
  • 7 0
 I wanna see Steve Romaniuk and Mike Kinrade come back and just slay all these guys... A bit of nostalgia would be good...
  • 8 0
 Don't know if Romo and Kinrade could slay that field but a masters class would be cool. Get those guys along with others like Wade, Super T, Bender, Shandro, Watson, Schley, etc. for some cool old school huckin'
  • 3 0
 Does anyone know the riders on the start list who won't be riding?

Are Chubey, Mike Mo and Godziek riding for example?

I would love to see Mitch and Mike Hopkins put their dreams runs together this year. Two crazy talented guys who really pushed things and got overlooked by the media a little last time I feel. Don't even get me started on how crazy Will Whites line was too! Rootin' for the underdogs this year!
  • 2 0
 Just seen Mitch on another video which is great news Smile

 ^ * "I've just seen" is actually correct (present perfect) in British English.Sure I omitted the "I've" by mistake but then I also omitted the "I" required for "I just saw" which is more US grammar although technically also correct as "just" is one of those weird exceptions Smile
  • 1 1
 Just making sure the slack jawed " I SEEN HIM DO THAT" wasn't making it's way across seas.
  • 3 1
 "I have just seen" is strictly more correct and "I just saw" is an evolved, lazy US use of grammar.I think poor grammar is travelling the other way across the seas Smile

Dont' u hat et wen u currect spilleng an' gramma on the internetz. Ther iz no winnerz Smile

Anyway, has anyone spotted Mike Mo or Godziek at Rampage this year?
  • 6 1
 Brandon seems pretty confident about his line choice, can't wait for the finals
  • 3 2
 hope doesn't go like last year's he was so unlucky.

 Can someone please explain to me what constitutes being Pre-Qualified. Is it based on past results?

Thanks in advance.
  • 13 1
 Being a complete fucking badass essentially.
  • 2 0
 Past results and winning diamond events.

 I just hope nobody gets hurt. It is impossible not to love rampage... but year after year things are just getting scarier and scarier.... Anyway... let's hope for the best!!! Can't wait!!!
  • 7 1
 Beyond stoked!

 Semenuk will have quite the tan line after that
  • 2 1
 Why are there so many riders? Obviously all the riders on the list are great, but I don't see how it would be possible to build 38 different lines for all of the riders. Stoked to see this go down, but if I am being honest, I think it is going to be a show of about 10-15 riders with most of the rest eating shit or just having an unimpressive run.
  • 1 0
 Qualifiers brah
  • 3 0
 Have you seen that line up? None of those riders are inferior...they are all capable of hucking 30 foot + drops, just some of them can throw tricks a bit better than others and maybe add some nuanced lines to their run Razz
  • 5 0
 Brendog is the man!!
  • 3 0
 Cut the prequalifie thing and let any of them qualify for the main event, that's my 2c....
  • 1 0
 Completely agree, all of these guys are worthy of the main.

 Wil white is going to crush it. Just the way he sends it on the big bike with so much flow....this is his favorite style of riding. Don't count him out!!!!
  • 2 0
 Hell yeah bouncer, see my comment above. Wil has the potential to get on the podium. He may not have the super technical bmx tricks, but he can flow tricks off huge jumps and a big bike is where he is most comfortable. GO WW!!

 Rite with you mate, Wil White has been killing it for years and its been awesome seeing him finally get the exposure he deserves. Really hoping he gets on the podium.

 Does anyone know's what's up with darren? haven't seen him around yet ? Is he competing at all?
  • 9 0
 I think he got a shoulder injury and isn't gonna be able to ride at rampage.
  • 1 0
 Correct Claw is out, shoulder injury, he seems pretty upset about it.
  • 2 1
 damn, i hear sorge is out too! I haven't heard about doerfling either? Is he hurt too ??
  • 3 2
 With the new terrain, and guys like Lacondeguy and Agassiz in full force, this is going to be one gnarly comp this year! #Stoked

 where's sorge? I thought he was back from injury. hope aggy kills it this year.

 No Gee atherton?
  • 5 1
 Rampage has changed too much and no longer plays to his strengths I guess. Completely understandable when you see how some of the runs like T-Mac were judged and I guess it doesn't hold the same attraction for some riders that it once did, not to mention the massive effect an injury would have on the racing which hasn't been going all that badly recently
