Everybody commenting that rampage is a slope style contest are fully unaware of what Freeride actually is. Do you know who Bender is? Ever see him huck fifty foot cliffs ? How many did he land? Groomed landings are necessary!! And I think you forget that these are the best free riders and slopestyle guys on the planet. And this is their interpretation of Freeride. I love this contest and the progression it has undergone. All the props to all the riders and builders!!!! This videos gives a very tiny taste of what these amazing riders are doing and it is super gnarly!!! Crankworkx has nothing on rampage!! Take your “rampage is slopestyle” comments and eat them like all the dirt and rocks you would get smashed down your throats if you even tried to ride this terrain.
So many dumb cliches... "Wise beyond his years" "Steely focus and determination" "Hes unapologetic" Its f*cking nauseating! Came rad though, super excited and actually knows what his talking about.
This video underlies the main flaw in the GoPro stack for the average consumer: editing. This was brilliant with the cuts, slow mo, and commentary overlay. Sadly will take the average Joe too many hours to do something similar with some footage from a day in the bike park which just discourages me from bringing it out on the next ride. They've made some progress with the highlights, but it's still a ways away from easy.
Lets be honest, Red Bull Media should just buy GoPro.
Maybe not everyone and their dog can have top level footage and edits and that's just how it is? That stuff takes skill. To assume it can be compressed down to the push of a button is maybe diminishing the craft a bit. I don't mind watching un-edited footage anyway, as long as the topic is good.
Just a guess, but I would say it's because they don't want a big old burp upon impact after sending hits that big. There may be a higher chance of a big burp than running a tube and having the tire roll right off. Bummer for Carson that actually happened. I'm still impressed his tube didn't blow up when the tire rolled off.
