the first thing that came in my mind was: ewwwwwww-that's gotta hurt

owned.

no the old rampage was a huckfest not a slopestyle competition. FREERIDING is not slopestyle thats why its called FREE riding. The classing rampages were just hucking with big bikes and some tricks as little sprinkles on top. There are slopestyle events for slopestyle. I was disapointed this year on the rampage.

like dude ritchie schley and shit got the ball rolling with like john cowan so it was a mix of freeride and dj,and theres a fair amount of stunts on sloestyles thats realy big ok the landings are smooth but like a 20 foot drop is still big even for a guy with a huge freeride bike

Whats your point this competention (many compentitions) arn't centered around slopestlye like you said it was. Quated what you said "you gota do tricks to win doesnt matter how big your line is." what about downhill racing? BIg hucking slopestlye events? like the rampage is suppose to be.

the line matters thats why semenuk won he didint do the bigest moves like paul basses tailwhips or aggies indian airs but he did techincal trick on way more tech runs for tricks,witch is what the rampage is about if someone were to win just by stiff airing a line it would have to be like the most rediculous run ever because no handers and supermans were going down off a 60 foot canyon gap.my point was the evolution of sloestyle started from the rampage.they just switched gnarly lines with easier lines to trick....i tootaly agree about comps that are not based ont ricks like dh or BIG huckign events,but the rampage has evoultion too and all the lines have great abtacles the only way you could have a first or last in the rampage or any event with a time to determine your place your going to have to do tricks what if 5 people took the same line.

without a time to determine your place**

dude do you not get the point? the rampage isn't one single bit about tricks. Sure like I said earlier there nice but the rampage was brought up as an event for riders to make there own lines and go crazy with it.

Can't you get it Freerideguy14? It WAS, but it evolved, and now tricks matter too. I personally think, the old editions were better 'cause i'm not the fan of slopestyle but it's just the normal way of evolution. Anyway guys do their best and it's always great to see them tryin' to push it to the limit Peace

well said
