Selected by Ian Hylands - Brandon Semenuk, absolutely killing it with this step down hip canyon gap. An unbelievable amount of work went into creating this line, and Semenuk stomped it first try....
This shot is very good at reminding me how f'ing sick Rampage is. It's a little easy to forget just how gnarly just getting down this mountain face is. Let alone any tricks whatsoever. Just plain wicked. No wood required
my mum saw this and said that is silly its obviously photoshopped. then i showed her all of the other ones and where the landing is she is confused "thats impossible". nope its seminuk. . . brandon seminuk.
Actually if you've ever ridden with Bender, he is an extremely talented rider and absolutely shreds trails. Dude definitely is a professional rider, just that he's known for destroying himself on absurd drops.
That and we can't disguard the fact that if Bender wasn't involved in the sport, it would be nothing it is like today. He changed what people thought was possible, sketchy or now we all owe him one.

The best line of Rampage by far. This was a life and death maneuver... as Brandon said, there's no way to practice the run in. His entire line on the upper course leading up to this was so insanely sketch and he rode it like a f'ing maniac. I could care less about the DJ's on the bottom of the course, this move was the "Evolution" of Rampage.
couldn't agree more. this is what rampage is about. for me i look for control, fear factor and use of natural features. mabye they should do a txt vote like the x factor and let the fans decide
Gonna have this as my wallpaper on my laptop for a few months to come. Would anyone know how to explain the feeling a rider gets when doing this sort of a step down..?? Excellent picture taken by the way..
That looks VERY HUGE indeed. Respect to Brandon. But I remember back in the day (03 -04 maybe) when Cedric made the first canyon jump in Rampage. It was simply MINDBLOWING!!
