Showed this to my girlfriend. " Why would you huck yourself off a cliff". "Cause it's Rampage!" "I don't get it??" "Get out of my apartment" "See if your bike will lay you tonight" "Rampage!!!"
I think that's why guys should get together and watch the Rampage without girls around. Only dudes get what dudes like. You can talk whatever sht you like and get stoked, drink beer, smoke weed, talk bike parts, tricks, scary crashes you had or managed to save, buddies who ate sht, guys you don't like, girls on TV you like. Guys rock. Then when it's done just suck each others dicks and go home.
FUN
Gotta show this to a guy who works for me. He's always saying "going biking tonight? I mean blowin dudes in the woods?" Funny shit. So funny I'd still vote for you for president Waki. Unless you have a man bun.
@NormanPerez: I have kids so I eff a mother. @kubaner - no man bun, had one for a month though, when I thought that dirty passive can be my thing. @speed10 - come over, I'll be spitting vodka into your bum everytime the Redbull player goes down. Rampage is a rampage right? That's right, that's what bros do after a rough year in the park.
He will be robbed believe me .. the win is for kyle strait, lacondeguy, or sorge because it "has to " ... i hope i m wrong when i say this but rampage judging sucks for ages
@RedBurn: there have been many changes for this year, starting with venue, and they have completely re-worked the judging panel....a lot of the previous ones that were grandfathered in are gone and have been replaced.
I gotta say, as disappointed in rampage winners as I've been, that I question my own fanboy motivations. I always want my favorite to win. And have a lot of favorites. I guess you have to be there to really appreciate what it takes to link a bunch of no fall lines together and still pull off a couple tricks. Not taking away from the big trick guys but building a duplicate of a jump you hit all the time, and tricking it, isn't nearly as bad ass as picking a line down a vertical face you've never ridden with little room for error and still squeezing in a few big hits before your done. I know, all been said before.
Macfarlane
Strait
Aggy
Top three
Likely in that order
Amazing that so much course is built by so few people in only an week! Name one other sport where the participants bust their asses this hard just to complete... Rampage is unlike anything else.
5:55 *Tippy gestures toward vertical wall of death and giddily states "Its steeper than it looks, loco!". Apparently the "always steeper than it looks on camera" adage applies to sheer cliff faces as well!
When there were wooden features everyone's lines were kinda just there to connect them, but now with a full natural venue, everyone has to get so creative, it's so sick! I mean, look at what Norbs built, it's a piece of art!
Am I the only one who thinks that one of the craziest parts of Rampage is the fact that riders spend all day working their asses off, THEN ride right afterward? THIS is a real endurance event. I'd be so beat after a week of shoveling...
Trailbuilding if you take it seriously is way more exhausting than riding your bike... And damn i was fit on the bike... So in the desert, the heat, the steepness and 8 days... Props up, true athlethes.
It's hard to gauge how big these cliffs/jumps are on a screen, I wonder if this year it actually is a lot bigger than previous years. The riders definitely seem focused on making it a proper spectacle for everyone
The f*ck? I assure you, there was no sarcasm intended. I included the name of the article so you could read the whole thing if you wished. Don't ASSume things about others, eh?
@therealtylerdurden: In that case I offer a sincere apology because I read your reply completely wrong. Trouble with the internet is you can never tell which way to take a comment and there's so many "google it" or similar replies I made the classic mistake of assuming your's was one of them....sorry dude
5.30am in New Zealand for us.Gonna be hard to hold back the tears when they present the McGazza award-if Conor can make it down after those crashes he may well be in line...
The red bull rampage is BS and should not be allowed. Riders and their "build" crews destroy the natural environment sculpting massive lips and giant transitions. At first rampage was raw just pick a line, be creative and ride down that shite. Now it is just like slopestyle. Keep all the destruction of the natural environment to resort areas like Whistler, etc. leave the natural environment "natural".
" Why would you huck yourself off a cliff".
"Cause it's Rampage!"
"I don't get it??"
"Get out of my apartment"
"See if your bike will lay you tonight"
"Rampage!!!"

Content was good though which is the important part

Hell it probably doesn't even take 100 years considering the wind that venue gets.
This environment is harsh and does not need to be cosseted.
