Bienve had a huge crash on his canyon gap today, misjudging the speed from his stepdown above, and sending it deep to flat. Fortunately, after getting checked by medical staff and various scans in the hospital, he’s reportedly alright and will hopefully practice tomorrow. Absolutely wild.

 Dude has the sickest kit in Rampage. Hopefully, he competes in finals because I wanna see that fire kit on the podium

 I'm afraid he's not Canadian nor American enough to end up on the podium of Rampage.

 @riccardoleumann: Lacondeguy was so far above everyone that year they couldn't not. But there's deffo a bias. Brendog, Bizet, McGarry, Godziek all 100% would have been on the top step if they'd been from NA

@Cocorico no best he's got has been 2nd, he should have but didn't grow up riding aptos/cali with the judges so isn't allowed to win

Nice concise assessment.

 I hope for the actual footage of the event they can get the camera zoomed a sensible amount, these crazy zoomed in shots are rubbish for understanding where the rider came from and is going

 The irony of having Bender talk about landing things cleanly....

 Overshooting this canyon gap by 15' still has a steeper landing than jah drop haha!

 I appreciate showing the med staff checking in with him proving there is attention to the athletes well being.
His line is going to be baller! So long as he can dial the speed…

 Maybe it's camera artifact, but in the POV section, if you slow it down, the flex on that front wheel looks massive! I'm sure that's normal for this kind of abnormal riding, but damn... a bit disconcerting.

 Looks like when Kelly did it. Dude is strong as hell. Looking forward to seeing his full run and seeing a gnarly front flip in there somewhere.
