The ghost of Kelly McGazza followed him into the corral there. Rest In Peace ! Salute the the big guy. Nice line dude

The exposure on that upper traverse is nuts!

Right! And he just casually manuals across it.

ciechan (Oct 21, 2022 at 1:54)

so where will be the 360 of the drop? Before the canyon gap? That would be proper wild.

sethgale (Oct 21, 2022 at 7:07)

That would be so sick

vinay (Oct 21, 2022 at 13:22)

Yup, was proper wild indeed.

ciechan (Oct 23, 2022 at 10:32)

@sethgale: told ya

sethgale (Oct 23, 2022 at 11:49)

@ciechan: Yeah, it was so sick

His line is way more polished than almost everyone else, and still looks very loose with super-soft jumps. I think like the dig crews bit off a lot this year; I hope everyone gets finished for tomorrow!

Almost Go Time!!!!!!

GEEZUZ! I was frightened watching that. These folks are another breed. Here's to them all keeping it rubber side down this weekend.

I too am fluent in sarcasm

steezysam (Oct 21, 2022 at 5:59)

he should air straight to the second lander on that double drop. biggest drop ever.

Fat-Thor (Oct 21, 2022 at 6:20)

Wonder if he got a KOM on Strava on that run

bproelofs (Oct 21, 2022 at 7:04)

Of course he'd do a manual during the run because why not? That's so much scarier from his POV.

stuartd (Oct 21, 2022 at 1:35)

Insane !!!!

skimons (Oct 21, 2022 at 2:23)

Szymon for the WIN!!!

gemma8788 (Oct 21, 2022 at 4:11)

Worried about wind, weather report looks ominous with crazy wind expected Saturday. Hopefully it holds off just long enough after all the work these athletes and diggers have put in.

yoimaninja (Oct 21, 2022 at 6:14)

good thing the event is Friday! (today)

gemma8788 (Oct 21, 2022 at 8:47)

@yoimaninja: ah, I see how my post read - basically a huge storm in the middle of the country will start affecting Virgin Friday afternoon, turning into 40+ mph winds Saturday... so, makes me worried the wind is going to ruin everyone's fun. Trying to stay positive though!

yoimaninja (Oct 21, 2022 at 12:57)

@gemma8788: Damn you called it

BMXJJ327 (Oct 21, 2022 at 8:05)

Dude almost did that no hander 3 different times before he actually threw it

adistner293 (Oct 21, 2022 at 3:14)

I've got him for second in the fantasy, crossing my finger

LeToux (Oct 21, 2022 at 17:17)

Well done

robito (Oct 21, 2022 at 6:05)

Exposed AF

igxqrrl (Oct 21, 2022 at 9:29)

I want someone this year to do their whole run as a wheelie.

jimoxbox (Oct 21, 2022 at 13:34)

I have watched rampage since it first began and now it just feels like an oversized slopestyle event. Let's go back to the old days where they had just enough time to dig a line that was almost ridable and then relied on massive bike handling skill and cojones to make it ridable. If you want double backflip tail whips, that's what crankworx is for. #freeridingisdead #longlivefreeriding

I'm probably getting downvoted to oblivion, but I don't care.

I have watched Rampage since it first began, have been there in person for 9 of them, walked the course to the top for two of the venues and I have to say people like you are idiots. Its nothing like a slopestyle course, there are literally life-or-death consequences if they mess up. In 2004 it rained and they smoothed everything out. I guess they should have waited until everything dried out before having the event according to your logic or lack of logic I should write. I'd rather go by the opinions of those who actually created Rampage, created the discipline of freeriding and those who have spent their lives progressing the sport. The only thing dead here is your brain. LOL you care about downvotes. Hilarious.

olngjnsn (Oct 21, 2022 at 2:53)

can you ride Szymon's line without massive bike handling skills and cojones?

yoobee (Oct 21, 2022 at 4:57)

@scott-townes: Exactly! I've been at the ridge in 2015 (only, I envy you!). To everyone who had not been at the top of that mountain - S.T.F.U.!!!

VtVolk (Oct 21, 2022 at 9:02)

Yep, no massive bike handling skill and cojones to be seen here

waxed (Oct 21, 2022 at 2:50)
