Yeah all the ones this month were pretty tame, but if you aren't pro you don't get invites to big contests or a budget to hire a machine and build massive jumps.
October winner announced: Claudio Caluori and his Red Bull Rampage preview! I still can;t believe what he says " today i went to the top of the @redbullrampageofficial together with the sun. and my question was answered. you will see my go pro course preview shortly"
Thewinner is +- ok because the trail is sick !! But according to me, the guys in the bobsleigh manualing at 60km/h into a 80cm's wide concrete trail take it . These guys are just fools (Guillaume merlinge included). I don t know if it s the contest who specially pushed them to ride that, and I hope they stay alive and don't die in such conditions
This must be the token month where they let an average rider with cool footage win so it doesn't look like a complete scam... that looks like an insane trail, by the way.
Looks like they got t pretty much right this month. personally I love the second video due to the cinematography and I like the bmx one because it's a change from mtb.
I think its funny how in the fifth one the guy in front is tucking up trying to keep speed while the guy behind him is manualing and keeping up. Cool story I know
Also the trail on the second one looks perfect.
