The videographer is Thomas Sandell - he cut his teeth doing FestSeries edits for Reynolds, Vink and the boys. Great eye for it! And yes, Bienve is real! Check it out: https://www.youtube.com/user/10bienve10

Can. Not. Wait!

Nothing wrong with the judging - great experienced panel of riders and judges. But perhaps explain the judging criteria and weighting so the viewing public understands better: is difficulty of line worth more points than tricks and style, etc. Also - camera angles! It's only once you've started trawling through the various rider POVs and 3rd partly social media clips post event that you start getting a true appreciation of what the riders are really pulling off. Perhaps more technical commentary and motion graphics - show air amplitude, explain the degree of the Shute, what speed are the riders going, how many feet is the drop, etc. Most notably - do away with 1st, 2nd and 3rd position and instead award: most difficult line, best tricks and style, etc. The world's top freeride 'contest' should award specific styles - not try and turn all the riders runs into a prescribed carbon copy of each other based on set criteria. Long live The Rampage! ????
