First Ride: 2024 YT Jeffsy - Now With Updated Geo & In-Frame Storage
I'm in the small minority here for sure. But I do not want in frame storage. I don't need my bike to have doors or more opportunities for water ingress

Intense Reintroduces the M1 to Their Catalog
@slayersxc17: you’re a small part of the reason bikes cost so much.
If there is a legitimate warranty claim, a company should handle quickly.
Purposely abusing it to get a new frame is whack. I hope they deny you when you try.

Rampage Judge Darren Berrecloth Speaks Out On 2023 Event
If you like big mountain riding, Zink’s run should be your favorite. The top part of his run is the steepest gnarliest line on the mountain.

9 Thoughts on Red Bull Rampage 2023
Bienve’s downfall was having 25-30% of his run a ‘bland’ ridge line to get to the meat of his plan.
You’re never going to win if your first big move is 30 seconds into your run.

9 Thoughts on Red Bull Rampage 2023
Except that the entire podium rode the gnarliest ‘freeride’ lines of the field up top. People are overlooking the steepness, brake control, and commitment the center of the venue requires.
If you want freeride scored well, you got it.

@OceanParkDan351: there isn’t a scoring criteria for whether a line is new or not. That is not a factor.
People also conflate exposure with technicality. While it absolutely plays a role, it is not a sole determinant.
You could recreate the battleship feature without the extreme cliffs and even some skilled amateur riders could do it. It is absolutely an insane maneuver but step back for a moment to look at the whole picture and not just the visual strikingness of it.
Much fewer people could ride the top of Cams line.

@wolftwenty1: sorry you’re getting downvoted for actually understanding what goes into the scoring.

The tops of Cam’s like is probably the most technical riding and demonstration of brake control on the mountain. Just because he has ridden it before doesn’t change this fact. Couple that with a flat drop flip off the biggest feature of the course that requires speeds at take-off that are probably three times faster than the next flip drop performed and that explains everything.
You explained Beinve’s score yourself. You can’t ‘skip’ 25-30% of the mountain and expect to podium, even if the remainder is mind blowing. He is incredible, and watching what he did, twice, was mind blowing, but it wasn’t a ‘complete’ run.
How to slot Brendog, TVS, and Carson is the only real debate, and there are a lot more critical considerations and nuance than most any commenters here can understand or articulate.
