Cam McCaul's line at Red Bull Rampage last year was pretty burly in spots, but from a lot of locations it may have been hard to tell. Even this sequence of Cam guinea pigging one of the drops at the top doesn't really show how crazy it is. This is a decent size stepdown that is a bit of a hip to the left, with a tiny landing that you have to hit. And you can't see the landing until you're in the air. Cam took countless run ups to this before finally hitting it, and to me that's just a confirmation of how tough it really was. Luckily he hit it perfect the first time...

Ian HylandsThe Pinkbike user with the best camment about Rampage wins a
Evoc Freeride Enduro 16L team pack.
Please keep in mind that we choose the winner based on the best comment, it does not and never has had anything to do with the number of props. Also keep in mind that anyone found to be giving out negative props to a number of users without explanation or reason given will be banned for prop spamming.
The same guy who posted "Norbs got robbed" on this article, posted it there too. I could come up with at least 10 more examples if I had the time. People post it everywhere and it is extremely annoying. This is what prompted me to take a stand and try to talk some sense into you people.
Rampage ≠dirt jumping ≠tight jeans ≠paved tracks ≠neg props?
I bet those words were exactly what Cam had in his head when he dropped this step-down like John McClane dropped Hans Gruber in Die Hard 1.
Rampage is just like John McClane (aka Bruce Willis) from Die Hard.
Unforgiving, relentless, and does not care if you need to get the job done with no shoes and bloody cut up feet.
Come on people!
First thing: I think the austrian-energy-company have enough money to finance these Extras...
Second: Then there should be the one guy (who is complete low-skilled in Mountainbiking...) and he has to say: "ooaaaahg - Utah is soo boring for Freeride ... do something with more action ... RedBull c'mom..."
I could be that guy!

Below is an excerpt from the a fore mentioned publication page 354, paragraph 17 to 34
Universal Red Bull Rampage equation: [ALL EQUATIONS SPOKEN IN ROBOT VOICE OF COURSE]
sin(ax)sin(bx) - kcos(ax)cos(bx) + 1 = 0
sin(ax) [ sin(bx) - {kcos(ax)cos(bx)}/sin(ax) + 1/sin(ax) ] = 0
sin(bx) - kcsc(ax)cos(bx) + cot(ax) = 0
SIMPLIFIED
Big boys bike + Immense skills + a total lack of respect for personal safety + insane dusty desert lines and much steepness + {drops} N Gnarly rocky sections - fear * ginormous ballsack / the need for mtb glory,fame and pussy = RAMPAGE!

Ride your bikes well...and maybe you can parlay it into the best job ever.
Now that would be epic.
Don't mind the haters; I see what you did there.
I think this guy says it best.
