FMB Diamond Series: The Final Round - Red Bull Rampage 2015 by FMBA

The riders are in the desert and digging their ultimate line for the notorious Red Bull Rampage with Thomas Genon, Brett Rheeder and Nicholi Rogatkin all neck and neck in the FMB Diamond Series standings. Without doubt, the Red Bull Rampage is the gnarliest freeride event of them all and when the dust has settled, will crown one of them the 2015 FMB World Champion. Due to predicted thunderstorms at the weekend, the finals have been moved forward 24 hours - tune in LIVE on Red Bull TV this Friday, October 16th from 6:30pm CEST to be first to find out who claims the win!

Three hundred – that is how many points separate the top three riders in the FMB Diamond Series after a year of progressive and rad slopestyle contests. But out in the Utah desert, Brett Rheeder, Thomas Genon and Nicholi Rogatkin have swapped their slopestyle rigs in favour of their big bikes and we all know things are going to get wild!

Six– the numbers of days the athletes have to dig, shape and ride their lines before qualifying on Thursday 15th October. Not very long considering this desert environment in Utah, the gnarliest terrain known to mountain bikers. The madness began last weekend and only now are the first riders testing their lines and dialing in the details. Follow the build on redbull.com/rampage.

One – at the end of it all, only one rider can claim the series and become the 2015 FMB World Champion. Brett Rheeder has been reeling in the title for years but Genon and Nicholi have been on Rheeder's rear wheel all season! Thomas Genon will drop in at Red Bull Rampage with just a slither of advantage over Rheeder (20pts).

While the 2015 FMB Diamond Series is in their grasp, all three athletes and every other contender at Red Bull Rampage will be happy to nail the run they want and show the world that they can ride this iconic mountain with style. On Friday, millions of fans from around the world will be rooting for their favorite riders and enjoying what is gearing up to be the maddest show in Rampage history. Make sure you tune in live for the final battle of the FMB Diamond Series exclusively on Red Bull TV on October 16th at 10:30am MDT / 6:30pm CEST.

Please don't post results anywhere besides in a post labeled "Rampage results". I'm really excited to watch the replay tomorrow evening since I will be at work all day.

Unfortunately it will be everywhere as it's the biggest event of the year, so pump,for this later!

Maybe somebody did already the math: Rheeder does not win if genon scores at least...?

I just love that Rheeder back-f style

No one does that look through maneuver as well as he does. No one.
