Road to Rampage Episode 4 - Weathering the Storm

Sep 17, 2014 at 11:25
by Red Bull Bike  

It's time for the last stops in the chaotic season leading up to Rampage. Kyle and Andreu head to Retallack Lodge to take on some of the biggest jumps ever built for a mountain bike but first they will have to take on the local weather. With time ticking down Tom is still injured and doing everything he can to prepare off his bike and Kyle leaves Retallack early to help a good friend achieve a life long goal.

 Andreu's definitely one of the gnarliest ever. He always looks like he's having a blast, and it's so fun to watch.

 "No one's building courses we wanna ride "!
That's because you're too frickin good !

 those FEST jumps are just next level - amazing stuff and so glad these guys have found a home for their style of riding as they did not fit into the current FMB tour, FMB = slopestyle, FEST = freestyle - simple really, both are excellent disciplines, but gotta give it to the FEST guys for sheer air time, they is just floatin` free Smile

 I almost wish Rampage was further away so that we could get more of these episodes.

 front flip the canyon gap?! holy f*ck.

 spoiler alert...
  • 6 0
 I am genuinely terrified for Tom about his... when frontflips go wrong they have a habit of spitting the rider high in to the air only a few feet from takeoff... which doesn't bode well if there's a f'off big canyon gap in the middle! Fingers crossed for everyone's safety this year

 Can't ride if it rains? We don't have that choice in the UK.

 I Think it's a bit different when hitting 80 foot gaps on freshly built jumps Razz

 really am wondering what this years equivalent to the "canyon gap" is going to be. There is also going to have to be a huge drop that is somewhat equivalent to the Icon sender. I have seen photo's of a go-pro feature that is said to be 50' out and 20' down which is huge but not quite the same as the other two I mentioned.
  • 8 1
 Andrew, Zink and Aggy for the podium
  • 8 3
 i can't wait to see how many pounds Kyle Strait has lost on weight watchers

 Andreu's 3's over the massive second booter is magical. Must be an unreal feeling to be able to do that
