according to the redbull rampage website Kinrade didn't make the finals but got 4th in the finals Confused . I was hoping to see him do well so i was miffed when he didn't make the finals so i'm not complaining.

Actaully it was his shoulder, supposedly he dislocated it about two months prior and in his qualifying run he hit a huge hip and landed weird and tweaked it again.

He got hurt practicing for his run on the second day...saldy it was serioulsy like 25 minutes before they were about to start and he just went down. A shame to cause he had such a sick line and some gaps no one else even hit. Fast fast fast!

actually gee was still in the riders list as did not start and theres 15 riders still. but if you notice dan atherton isnt in the list as he had been, dont know why, but kinrades inclusion is awesome. 4th is huge over the guys hes riding against since he hasnt been under a spot light for a while. anyone remeber the first season of drop in?

Gee couldn't run because he separated his shoulder, sadly. He had the gnarliest run set up, too.

Bender didn't ride, he was just up there to watch. I think he's a calmer rider now.

I'm pretty gutted that Semenuk won, his run was really damn tame, it was just a bunch of stupid little tricks off the smallest drops on the hill.

In all, RedBull stabbed the already dieing big mountain scene with the stupid wooden features and incorporation of slopestyle into this once legendary event. I miss real riding.

i didnt hate the wooden structures, but remeber the old spot? there was alot more length to the runs. Semenuks run was tam i though also. remeber dave watson shreding though the old course? or shaums? i think they needed a location where longer runs could have been built. the video of the winning run was about a minute long. from that run to i did see to much stuff that was smoothed out. however i also think to who was judging. Shandro, Simmoms etc. they ARE big mountain riders. there the mostexperianced guys in the sport, been there from the start of it untill now, so i dont doubt there ability to judge the contest fairly. however i vanderham hadnt crashed form the sounds of it the results would have been different, i want to see video of this 60 foot gap suicide no-hander.
