Red Bull Rampage 2014: Aggy's Crash

RED BULL

FIRST RUN BLUES

RAMPAGE


bigquotesWell it was a guinea pig, learned pretty quick that I need to go a little quicker. Hopefully tomorrow get a redemption run and we'll be golden!

Aggy guinea pigged the upper drop in his line today, hitting it for the first time in his first qualifying run. He came up short with not quite enough speed into it. After missing the landing he was bucked down the transition, luckily he managed to walk away unscathed from the cloud of dust that had enveloped him.

Everyone is pulling for the weather to clear tomorrow so that he will have a second chance at qualifying for the finals.

Aggy guinea pigging his upper drop for the first time during qualifiers and came up a bit short after not coming in with enough speed. Came out alright from it and will hopefully have another shot tomorrow morning at it.

 Seriously, PB posted this up on facebook as him casing the 70+ft. drop... thankfully whoever wrote that is a complete idiot and it was only a drop less than half that size he cased. The headwind was vicious apparently... thank baby jesus he wasn't hitting the biggins when this happened.

 Dude's got to qualify just like the other 24 riders. Would be pretty harsh to everyone else if they were to just "let him in". Hopefully he can run it again tomorrow, but drop the mundane hashtag chant, folks.

 You guys realize this is a contest right?

Graham is one of my favorite riders and and without a doubt one of the favorites to win this whole thing but at the end of the day you have to earn your spot in finals. This isn't Aggy's Reunion, this is Rampage, and no matter how popular or progressive you are, if you don't put it together, you don't put it together, that's simply the cruel and ever-evident reality of this event. Having said all of this, if and when he lays down a full run 2 tomorrow, his line is absolutely of qualifying/winning calibre and I dearly hope the weather allows that possibility. #aggywillearnit

 Thank you. Pinkbike peeps are ridiculous, and I'm glad someone else is being logical. Can't just "let him in", as that would be a huge slap in the face to all the other riders. May the best rider win, and at after the first run, it doesn't seem to be aggy. I certainly hope he gets a chance to redeem himself though!

 Who needs sentences when you have hashtags, eh? When will people quit overplaying the use of hashtags? Anyway... Aggy needs to earn his spot like everyone else. If he puts down a clean run there's no doubt his balls, skillz and style should put him on the podium - maybe even the top step - but as @dustinguilding pointed out, this is a contest and everyone else out there is putting their balls on the line too!

 Aggy should've been prequaifiyd just from his steezy 3 drop last year. I hope he comes back and qualifies tomorrow. Go Aggy!!!!

 I am fairly sure no one would want to be "let in" or would go if they didn't earn it, about respect.
