Sponsored: Red Bull Rampage Clothing Collection Released

 agreed. the only way i buy these is if the athletes get a percentage of the profit.

 @NorthcountyAM: yup - think I'll save my money for now and pass it on if there's an injury. their care of athletes at this event has been deplorable over the years.

 I think the water bottles are kind of cool, funny how they thought they should feature only the tackiest stuff.

Also you gotta love the marketing: "But you don’t have to wait until then to grab your official event gear. Drop into Red Bull Shop US to find the brand new, limited edition collection of t-shirts, hats, accessories and more"

yeah buying a rampage t shirt will definitely help with waiting for actual rampage to happen.

 and just like that is off the front page

 @NorthcountyAM: Or it goes towards insurance....

 Is there a shark feature in this year's rampage to jump over?
....anyone?
....is this thing on?

 @nicolai12: i would be good with that.

 If you want to support a Rampage Legend
www.thesensus.com/streetwear/mcgazza-memorial-t-shirt

 Not sure they could fit that on a thong mate.

 Pre-stained?

 Except these explicitly say RAMPAGE 2017 on them and have a different logo from "athlete apparel"

 "I see no changes, wake up in the morning and I ask myself
Is life worth livin'? Should I blast myself?
I'm tired of bein' poor..."

 What in the actual f*ck? ^^^

 @chillrider199: I'm so sad we live in a world where kids have no idea about Tupac.....

 @scott-townes: Ohhh.. Sorry more of an ACDC, Lynard, Slayer, Metallica kind of guy.

 Maybe once the event has happened perhaps?

 You know the event isn't until next weekend, right?

 @jamieSaunders: Yeah, but there has already been a lot of building and scoping lines on the site, Instagram is full of coverage from all the athletes so would be cool to see some similar materials made by Pinkbike journalists. Plus I didn't say Rampage finals Photo Epic, did I? ;-)

 @BorysZG: Building only officially started today. Before that, it was just guys already there checking some of the lines etc.

 @RichardJBos: would be cool so see some run up to rampage thing. Considering it is such a big event for RedBull the build up is always a bit meh, plus why work so hard on these lame tshirts instead of some sick road to rampage for the lesser known guys at the event.

 You do realize literally every company even remotely involved in mountain biking is doing the same thing right? You think companies would sponsor athletes if it didn't make them money? Or that they would pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to have a WC team if it didn't make them money? Or that the UCI gives a crap about DH other than that it makes them money? People in the industry still have a bottom line and that is to make money, so yeah Red Bull is going to try and make as much as they can but so is everyone else. Don't just go after them, go after literally anyone who is making money in the sport.

 It's ideas like those that seem to kill off my favorite parts of my favorite sports. Wait for it. 5 years from now,
Rob Katz will own the whole f*cking rampage site, all the gaps will be gone and there will be yellow jackets issuing athletes citations for riding "in a manner inconsistent with and unbecoming of a Vail resorts affiliate."

 HA!

 I don't know where you live, but New Era hats go for anything between 35-45 euros here in Austria. So 30 USD isn't too bad.

 New Era trucker-style blanks (not the high crown fitted caps) in bulk, are around $5 per unit, after embroidery and set-up charges comes out to like $8-9 per hat. So your $35-45 sounds even more ridiculous than their $30.

And while we're at it, depending on the brand of tee and quantity, Gildan/Hanes/Fruit of the loom/etc.. with screen printed art - those are all $6-8 t-shirts that they're pushing for $30.

RedBull, fire your promotional marketing design team.

 @NYShred: you listed embroidered/printed in USA prices, you know that's pure china and even cheaper

 @bluntaaronr: just received my little bit of Rampage apparel ever, the desert camo flat blim cap and it’s so legendary looking!!! Now just wait for the event to play out!!! It’s gonna be a doozy!!!!!!!

 @DigRenno: Works for some! Rock it if you've got it brother!!!! You making it up for the big show?

 @bluntaaronr: Nope!! never have been to a Slopestyle Event or a Freeride Event!! if I had to pick one it would definitely be Rampage.... but Crankworx Slopestyle Innsbruck or Rotorua sound awesome too... but Rampage is a whole nother level... and with the mixup this year!! Some Pro that has never won might get a chance for redemption!!!!!!
