Video: The Battle To Make The Finals - Red Bull Rampage 2015

 Nico's drop size can only be compared to what josh bender was hitting years ago.

 yeah .. he needed 12 inches of travel haha

 just yelped at my desk............real incognito

 Rogatkin also has crashed TERRIBLY.

 Jesus - he literally fell off of a cliff!!! Aaaaand then got back up again......he just dusted himself off....and got up again......in the way I would if I had a little OTB incident! wtf?! Super human!!!

 There was live coverage. The site was posted in the comments of the results article. It was very evidently a test run for the staff, equipment, cameras and angles. Very raw to watch and not at the level of coverage that would have been widely accepted, not a wonder why it was not marketed by Redbulltv, but it was available.

 now you tell me

 no kidding

 And me too!

 ...2 minutes to start haha!!!!!!!AAAAAAAAA!! :-D

 And what again are you looking at his dangers??????

 I agree, some lines seems too much bike-parky. Aggy's pov shows how all is shaped...good for the flow but...but it miss some sketchy stuffs.

 agree 100% !!!!!!!!

 Some of the lines are groomed,but then some of the features are really just worked enough to actually make them (at least close to) ridable - like Vink's cliff, doerfling's drop.
Bizet showed a good mix of big mountain and insane tricks, Reynolds has impressive big-bike skills for essentially a pure DJ expert, and then there's good representation from the "free racer" crowd with Brendog, Remy, Pierre, etc.

So in short - can't it be both?

 I mean, must be exciting to be there in the public watching them fly over the lines but i don´t know... it looks like a big bike park. Miss good days with Kinrade, Simmons, Tyler T, etc. I remember when Kyle did a No-Hander in the canyon gap, that was terrific, too much hype for that days. And yes, i think it can be both but that´s why we have Crankwors and Kokanee. This event just shows and push riders to their limits in a big area modified in order to see riders performance. I totally agree there is a bunch of skills on every rider, i must say i´m very impressed. I remember when riders on the first editions, always kept looking for the best line without a design on the trails, just a natural line, what i can see here, it is a complete scenario.

 They have moved locations a couple times over the years. There's also a National Park you can't ride in (off trail) to the east, but there is plenty of terrain like that in Utah. So yes, that is not a singularity, but I'm not sure about road access (speculative, but probably one of the reasons this site is used is there's a decent road for all the equipment). You load up some 4 wheelers, you'll be alright. It's hike and ride terrain, not even push runs, I'm talking bike on your shoulders, if you are going for a DH trip.

 There is a LOT of terrain like that in Southern Utah. Multiple places Rampage could be set up.

 Old rampage site is just off the road though.

 only few hours to wait !!

 wont have to he didnt qualify

 Photo epic said he sustained an injury, probo out of contention

 oh yea. duh. still nutty line. i wonder if anyone will try to hit it today.... is it line poaching if the owner of the line isnt in contention anymore?
