Kelly's tall stature allowed him to judge the wind speed with his hair to gauge how big he needs to go in order to flip the canyon.

Doerfling lost his bike round one off a cliff. He was lucky enough to get a second one unlike many of the others.

Kyle Strait. First to take a double Rampage win in history. Not to mention taking them both out with suicide no handers.

Mike Hopkins showing me a picture of his wrist after crashing off the steep chute at the top of his run. Get well soon bro.

This little duder, who was like ten years-old, was slamming lines at the side of the course after the event was over. Generation next. We'll see him in rampage 2019.

Gully was hurting all over from having cased the Icon Sender twice the day before, but obviously this didn't stop him from flipping off a scary as shit step down near the top of his run. Unfortunately he crashed. Then went on to ride the rest of his run, only to crash again near the bottom. Dude's one rugged mofo.

Aggy off the old Icon Sender.

Brendog had his canyon gap dialled.

Mike Montgomery whipping for the crowds, after crashing on the upper part of the course.

Kelly McGarry's backflip off the canyon gap.This was the first time anyone has ever flipped the canyon gap. Second place for McGazza!

Ramone Huntzinger was the first one to hit the canyon gap on run one of the finals.

With god not willing to let the wind subside, Rampage 2013 came to an end earlier than expected. Half the riders couldn't finish there second run. Were they robbed? You tell us.

A family that shoots together, makes a lot of cake. The Markewitz clan killing it big time.

Cam Zink's flip off the Icon Sender. Now he can have his baby in peace.

Logan Binggeli, one-hander off the medium sender. His second attempt wasn't so successful. Broken femur, metal rod, but he's 'gonna be just fine...in a few months.

Howey went into finals day with nuts the size of grapefruits. Not because he's badass, which he is, but because he sacked them off his seat during qualifiers. In fact there were a lot of riders going into finals with injuries.

Tyler McCaul sending it something serious off his all natural line.

Couch man.

Even with the pressure of having to be first one down the course on a very windy morning, Tyler McCaul has time to sign autographs. Champ.

'Merica. Home of the brave.
