My nephew in Loops has been dressing up as Tippie for Hallowe'en for the past 3 years. I think he's getting a little old to trick or treat, but at 10 years old he can clear the cliff on Dale's trail on Seymour. Damn the youth!
It is not a bike, but rider being healthy, fit and commited. It is not even about being brave and doing crazy stuff, but doing what you feel like. I think more about focussing on being an athlete with all work and care devoted to develop oneself. Anyway who cares, becasue I don't.
Sounds like Pink Bike needs to do a "GF Check". It's funny tho, this is why I wouldn't want my girl to be exposed to the media if I was a pro shredder. People lose focus on what's important, the riding
@Daddybear - agreed, with Semenuk in 2nd and Rheeder in 4th. It's a bummer Zink can't keep it rolling after landing massive three-drops or he'd be a 3x champion by now.
I agree, if Zink can just put a full run together with his bag of insane tricks then he can win 9/10 times. he always lets his adrenaline get the best of him and not complete his line. if he had just rode the middle section(in any way) instead of just the road and tricked the Polaris jump I think he woulda won.
To his defense, I don't think ANYBODY would roll out of that kind of insanity with their bearings straight. That was some serious balls-outedness he laid down with that three-drop.
Not taking anything away from Zink, but isn't that why they have a practice day? Still, I agree, he deserved best trick, considering the difficulty/consequences, but I think he belonged even below Rheeder.
I wasnt surprised a bit by Andreau winning. He stomped it all year long on the big bike. The course and all the building, this was some next level shit for sure. So good. Best contest ever.
I hear young teenagers on bikes in Poland overusing the phrase "super stoked" all the time. I get it with a bit of irony, but I am glad it is not "cool" anymore. From now on, "stoked" should be under penalty of one spoke undone from the back wheel of the blasphemer who dares.
So Godziek did more tricks in the finals like suicide nohander and another flip on the bottom section and get 5 points less than the qualifying run... Pretty weird cos he's outside the top 10...but Tippe living Legend haha
I agree 100% as well, I had Godziek in my top 5, the judging seems to be biased towards the bigger names. It's funny in the Wil White article he made a comment that he didn't think the judging was fair and a lot of people were calling him a whiner, I didn't see his qualification run but I wouldn't be surprised if he was unfairly judged.
Could someone give a reasonable explanation as to why Tippie IS NOT commentating??? Its been said before, but the commentators at Rampage just don't seem as invested in the sport as some other people could be
Steenbergen has that classic look of deep reflection after a big crash. Scared the s**t out of himself and clearly realizes he could be in a wheelchair or worse if lady luck hadnt been on his side.
Obviously he's a great rider and knows what he is doing but I honestly think what he done was so reckless , even if his wheel touched down right he would of head but the handle bars.
Was genuinely shitting my self until he got up , thought he was gonna be air lifted out
cheeseburgers a fucking lad for trying that. you cant say hes lucky hes not in a wheelchair or hes reckless, theyre riding at rampage everyone riding down that hill is lucky in a way because its crazy and thats that
Me and my buddy got the sickest cameo ever! Right behind Andreus flat 3 holding the signs! I'm stoked out of my mind right now! Not to mention a nice chat with tippie.
With Zink praising his suspension is it fair to say that Steenbergen could have rode away with a better setup? Compression that would have been adjusted for that gnarly front flip landing without kicking his ass?
This may have already been mentioned, but the guys with the Huck-o-meter thing... and especially the ''Well that was neat!" sign was AMAZING. Such a great crowd by the looks of it.
Its always sort of unnerved me how a pun can be made about rape and somehow seem an appropriate label for something that I think is highly entertaining.
Urban dictionary definition and Internet memes. Then it is settled. Just the tip means rape...
Plus even the urban dictionary definition doesnt mean rape. It basically implies that the males try to have sex while the female resists...like every single species on earth. I hate to break it to you buddy but that's not the same thing as rape. Its called nature and hormones. I suppose you can continue to pretend that humans are not subject to the influence of these things if you would like though.
From now on, "stoked" should be under penalty of one spoke undone from the back wheel of the blasphemer who dares.
