No option for Bizet...I know he DNF’d, but for pure balls out freeride I’d vote for him.

JoseBravo (Oct 16, 2015 at 14:01)

Bizet and Paul Bas where definitely on a winning run, I hope they heal up soon.

Nico Vink..

felimocl (Oct 16, 2015 at 16:04)

Bizet easily had one of he gnarliest runs but for me it had to be the claw. Seeing one of the oldish timers come in the top 10 on a new bike is always something. He was also one of final riders to brave the wind before the others got cancelled Just my thoughts....

ANYONE HERE THINK ITS A BIT CONVENIENT THAT SORGE WON AND SAM REYNOLDS WON BEST TRICK AND KEPT BEING INTERVIEWED (WAT WAS GOING ON WITH BEARCLAW) BOTH RIDE FOR POLYGON BIKES - WTF EVEN ARE THEY. POLYGON LOW KEY SPONSORING RIDERS AND BRIBING JUDGES BLATENTLY. WE NEED TO START AN OFFICIAL APPEAL BECAUSE BRANDON SEMENUKS RUN WAS CLEARLY THE BEST THAT MANNY OVER THE FINISH SHOULD OF EDGED LACONDEGUY BY 0.25

Charlie-likes-bikes (Oct 16, 2015 at 16:47) (Below Threshold)

@jamesbigjumps has a valid point. Polygon came out of nowhere and now their media exposure has never been higher. Its clear to everyone watching that semenuks run was better than Sorge's, the only difference was that Polygon have a history of collusion and ethical malpractice regarding sponsor attended events. A couple of riders from Polygon have even said they've been overscored in runs at high profile events. I'm not one of those guys that buys into conspiracy theories but there is definitely something suspicious going on regarding the judging at rampage.

Another interesting point to note is that the wind is alleged to have picked up mid way through second runs conveniently after sam has completed his second run but just in time to prevent the riders still on the hill from challenging Sorge's score. It must be the case that only semenuk has the profile and influence to supersede the corruption that is increasingly becoming imbedded in these events as he was allowed to complete a second run. But answer me this - did it even look windy up there? Can you even see one ripple in lacondeguy or aggasiz jerseys? Go through the footage again and ask yourself these questions.

anyway for the wind I'm not so agree with you...ok maybe it wasn't so windy up to the hill but the problem was on the jumps where there was a lot of blue flags for check the wind...and wind was present down there believe me! ..do you think that a mad man like Lacon could be stopped if the condition was good? I dont!

scott-townes (Oct 17, 2015 at 9:05)

You can tell how people think Rampage should be judged based on their choice. Semenuk = more about style/tricks over raw tech line, Zink = more about raw tech line than style/tricks. They each had both in their runs but their entire lines leaned towards one or the other. They both got scored low (especially Zink). Out of any comps. in years' past, this would be the hardest judging gig because of how hard everyone was throwing down on different but gnarly lines.

If Vink stomps his line next year along with the tricks he will throw down lower, I have a feeling that one will take it. That was just absurdly huge. And Paul Bas, pretty sure he just set the world record for biggest MTB drop ever landed.

B650wagon (Oct 17, 2015 at 13:10)

Hard to judge, it looks like they may have factored the wind conditions for each rider on their run. The only thing that seemed a bit off was Aggy's score, maybe got rewarded a bit too much. It seemed more like this:

1. Kurt Sorge
2. Andreu Lacondeguy
3. Brandon Semanuk
4. Thomas Genon
Tie for 5. Cam Zink and Graham Agassiz

ihatetomatoes got the point. While you can definetly tell the difficulty of brandons tricks and his insane unique style, you can't really judge how gnarly the lines are if you are only watching the live stream. Always keep that in mind when you complain about the judges again. That's not slopestyle where everybody rides the same track

riding406 (Oct 17, 2015 at 12:17)

The great thing about rampage is that you can ride like Remy, or like semenuk and still score high. But I think the judging layout needs to be changed so that it's more fair. If you huck it like zink, or you trick every feature, both riding styles are awesome and extremely difficult but they aren't even comparable. There needs to be a better judging system so that the score represents the difficulty of the riders' run. In addition, zink's run for example, had way higher consequences than brandons and I think all of that needs to be considered and evaluated when created a score. There will always be discrepancies but zink, semenuk, and remy are just a few examples of the vastly different riding styles at rampage and they all need to be receiving their respective scores

Semenuk is too good to win without going out of his comfort zone. People expected more. Not saying his run wasn't worth the score, just that it wasn't a winner. Zink should have been higher up though. If Andreu wasn't so loose he would have scored lower as well.

anchoricex (Oct 16, 2015 at 14:31)

The problem with anytime any of the slope guys coming here throwing a trick people automatically discount them because "it's not a slope run" and totally ignore the fact that they actually do flow, slay and free ride they just have the capacity to do more on top of that. Let's not downplay it like semenuk went in just tried to win an xgames bmx half pipe competition, he flowed the shit out of that with ridiculous style. The only thing missing was one big amplitude feature, but even still he did a pretty massive drop AND oppo 3'd it. Most of the commenters here wouldn't even hit the drop without tricking it.

30 3

ihatetomatoes (Oct 16, 2015 at 14:33)

ihatetomatoes (Oct 16, 2015 at 15:09)

Pretty much. It's why Sorge won today, he tricked everything he could with style and had a narly line at the top and had that huge drop. You have to be able to do it all to win.

22 2

anchoricex (Oct 16, 2015 at 15:13)

even the fest dudes are into big tricks. speaking directly opposite of your post, what if you took all the tricks away? what do you have? is it about straight airing and speed at that point? because thats called downhill racing.

my point is tricks *are* a part of freeriding, they ALL go together. And brandon did ALL of those things very very very well. too many people are discounting him almost because he is *too* good at his tricks, so what are you people implying? is anyone here going to argue that semenuk doesn't have flow/style/speed/amplitude? I would argue that he has the capacity for just as much amplitude as aggy/andreu/sorge but there's no chance to demonstrate it because it was such a bloody menstrual territorial cat fight over the huge drop spot of the terrain.

lucinluka (Oct 16, 2015 at 15:20) (Below Threshold)

semenuk deserved less than 94 considered amplitude and exposure of his line. now fuck off butthurts, this isn't a slope style event. Sorge deserved the win, I only think that judges missjudged Zink, he was supposed to be on the podium anyway

16 2

ldhbaker (Oct 16, 2015 at 15:26)

@anchoricex - exactly. Semenuk did everything he could with the line. How the hell is he ever expected to win, if lacondeguy and agassiz don't let anyone ride their line, when they know that it scores the highest. Semenuk rode far better than any other rider, but the judges simply decided to continue to reward line choice rather than tricks and style.

Bummer for Semenuk, although at least he can be encouraged by the fact that pretty much everyone other than the judges think he should have won.

7 5

ihatetomatoes (Oct 16, 2015 at 15:27)

I'm saying you have to be able to do it all these days. Rampage isn't just about tricks like it's not just about going huge or picking the steepest line.

Also Sorge won without doing the Aggy / Lancondeguy line so you can't go reasoning that for Seminuk not winning.

11 1

anchoricex (Oct 16, 2015 at 15:28)

Exposure of his line? What? Not enough cameras on it? Not enough wind blowing him off his bike? Should he wear a bikini next time he rides?

And no shit it's not a slopestyle event. Did you see anyone on slope bikes, did you see any three pack jump line ups? Because I saw the c3 project out there dropping cliffs and BUILDING AND SHREDDING TRAILS.

14 2

anchoricex (Oct 16, 2015 at 15:38)

@ldhbaker word. If Redbull wants to continue rewarding line choice they need to lay down some ground rules for shared trail useage. Because as it stands a more hot headed rider whos hellbent on keeping others off his trail has an advantage. And that's just stupid, this year was exhausting watching the rewards go to who could best claim territory for the queen of spain

I felt like sorge had the most complete line in rampage history. gnarly top drop then flips up high in the course then charges the ridge with so much style then does a huge flip combo. but semenuks was so amazing too its so close. but I really don't care. everyone killed it and its great for our sport its all on film forever for everyone to watch and get stoked about that's what rampage is all about. who wins is just a bonus

ihatetomatoes (Oct 16, 2015 at 15:13) (Below Threshold)

Seminuks was too much like a slopestyle run. No real gnar or huge amplitude compared to the other guys. Sorge had it all in his run, tricks, gnar line and huge amplitude on the hip and that drop

17 4

anchoricex (Oct 16, 2015 at 15:17)

^ I'm getting real sick of this argument lol. Semenuks run was NOT like a slopestyle run, neither was Genons or Zinks. Just because these guys got a bigger trick bag doesn't mean they're not sending it, flowing and styling. Also, Aggy/Lacondeguy have been massive buttholes about one of the very few spots you can actually utilize big amplitude.

11 12

ihatetomatoes (Oct 16, 2015 at 15:22)

If your saying Seminuks was like Zinks then you need to rewatch the event. Zink was all steep and gnar off the top. Almost the opposite of Seminuks. Zink is the only guy who should feel robbed today. Top 3 for sure

Too much like a slopestyle run? You have to be kidding. He rode the same terrain, and arguably one of the more difficult lines, and on top of that threw in some incredibly difficult tricks. Now you're saying that he should actually be penalized for doing tricks that not many others can do?

stevesmith-ss (Oct 16, 2015 at 15:56)

I would say brandons run was the winning run.. however, in comparison to some of the lines his line was alot more groomed, which gave the impression of a slopstyle run. But you cannot take away his style, tricks, speed and flow. Thats why he should of won.

Rorymick77 (Oct 16, 2015 at 14:16)

Bizet and paul Bas were WELL on their way to podium runs Brandon has sorta shot himself in the foot by being so talented. Only way he would have won is if he pulled a rabbit out of his ass doing a flat 3 over the canyon. And even then maybe the judges wouldnt be impressed because they expect such amazing talent from him.

19 2

anchoricex (Oct 16, 2015 at 14:59)

I really do believe he could hit andreus/aggys lines just fine if not better. His talent and other competitions (joyride) have kind of given him a negative stigma for rampage. People think he's coming in to just do a shitload of tricks, and they ignore his flow, style, and control over his bike completely simply because he can do tricks ON top of all that and put it together in his run. I don't even know if robbed is the right word here because it's not like rampage judges have changed this f*ckery. That nose wheelie alley whip into one of his trail cuts was so filthy

Nothing special? Watch it again, gnarly line off the top (it's what rampage is supposed to be all about), backflip over the ridge, HUGE amplitude on the hip, MASSIVE step down landing almost too far but holding on, plus the sick styled out no handed backflip.

His run had it all. The perfect combination on gnar and tricks. Seminuks was all slopestyle

Guys, don't urge this guy and argue. He probably is one of those jealous dudes, who says he could out ride Semenuk, but knows inside he just is angry that he blew up his wheel sending that curb drop. Rampage should become a "mountainbike expression session" all riders recieve a base payout, then show there interpretation. No actually judges ranking anything just fan votes for a bunch of categories that cover elements of freeride. I know it doesn't make for as dramatic of comp, but it might be a better format for rampage...

This. Reynolds even said it on the interview. So did Cedric. TV doesn't give the best perspective of these features. The judges are right there and have scoped every inch of that place out. Plus - sorge was flawless. Andreu was not. If he had of been - they would have scored him higher. I was mosted stoked of fairclough - racer flip! - and bizet - would have been a podium for sure.

mulletator (Oct 16, 2015 at 16:01)

I think the voting was pretty fair. This is not a slopestyle event, its a freeride event. They gave credit to the guys that gave a gnarly run with big airs and momentum. I still think that Zink should have placed higher but he and Semenuk were going super slow in the middle of their runs.

Gutted for Bizet, that run was a winner, only front flip I remember seeing today and if he landed the double back on top of the rest of his run it should've taken it. Rogatkin could've shaken up the top rankings and it would've been good to see what he had for the finals. Missed what happened with Tom van Steenbergen in qualifying but I really wanted to see him land the front flip over the canyon this time.

1 0

anchoricex (Oct 16, 2015 at 15:02)

I think rogatkin actually lacks on the big bike. When he went down yesterday i could see he just doesn't have the time on a big bike saddle these other guys do. I remember a couple years ago when he decided to go from bmx to mtb his filmmaker tried to do a free ride segment for him and they actually sped the footage up because he was pretty timid on the big bikes. Totally different beast and he's still got a lot of room to grow into them.

aldo79 (Oct 16, 2015 at 15:41)

Fair comment, he's clearly not got the same time on a big bike as most of the rest at rampage although it would have been interesting to see his take on some of those lines if he got through and given some more time I still reckon he's one to watch. Either way, he deserves some credit for stepping outside his comfort zone of the fmb tour and finishing his qualifying run after slamming hard showed some grit

@aldo79 you couldn't be more right. I honestly wasn't that big of a Rogatkin fan, and was kind of wondering how he got in. That said, his sackness has gained some respect and cred by stepping out of his comfort zone, and then not taking the easy way out (or down).

Vaclav (Oct 16, 2015 at 17:40)

Here's my two cents. Judges should give scores to all runs after each round. No scores until everyone has ridden, then compare things because honestly, every run is the coolest thing we've ever seen. I kept thinking that nothing could possibly be better until it was.

4 0

eball (Oct 16, 2015 at 18:47)

Rogatikin, Vink and Bizet are the winners in my book, the rest is relative as this event will never be judged properly due to the fact that everyones line is so different that it comes down to the difficulty of the line and not the riders ability so how could they ever judge this properly? It was clear from the get go that Aggy's line was going to judge higher based on that Andreu used that line to win last year so how is that fair for a guy riding a different line that may have more tricks but not more knar? and It really seemed like the powers that be wanted Aggy to win really bad, he was the most covered athlete on Pinkbike throughout the event. Another thing that sucks is that we wait all year for this event to only watch two runs that are never completed because of the weather. They really need to re-think the whole thing and COMPENSATE these guys for putting there life on the line. Lets not forget that mighty red bull will be selling the licensing of the broadcast to NBC for big dollars so how about you guys take better care of the riders with some fat purses.

Judging should be done by the riders no one else. If I remember correct that's how the fest series works. There is too much money on the line to have a safety run win. Semenuk along with a lot of other riders risked their butt bucking huge tricks they should be rewarded.

Think rampage needs to be stopped as it has moved beyond commercial than the pure gnarly freeride event it was. That's what happens with any sport that grabs so much attention.

benwearsahat (Oct 18, 2015 at 1:45)

Judging system at rampage needs to be rethought. The judges should simply order the riders based on which they think had the best run, and reveal the standings after each run, giving riders a score means it's harder to move the standings around fairly. Imagine how much easier it would be for the judges to go "yeah that was better than lacondeguy but not as good as sorge so put him second" instead of trying to figure out arbitrary numbers to represent a riders run?

2 0

el-nombre (Oct 18, 2015 at 3:16)

They'd still have to end up with a scoring system though. I'll watch a run and think 'no way was that as good as that guy that went half an hour ago" but then go back to the replay and realise that actually all in all maybe that was better.

Just going on an overall feeling of which is better is even more subjective and open to inconsistency. Maybe it would work if the judges had a couple of hours to go through replays after the comp but I don't think doing a real time ranking this way would work

benwearsahat (Oct 18, 2015 at 4:20)

Also did anyone else notice that it was apparently too windy up there to complete a second run for agassiz and lacondeguy the only competition for sorge. But did anyone even see a flag move up on that top section? Everytime the wind was gusting it was a flag away from the riding area. I went back and checked the footage and the flag blowing in the wind is an extremely well edited loop to give the impression that the course has become unrideable. So sketchy

If you read through here, it's easy to see why no one agrees. So how could the judging spot on in everyone's opinion? I think it's been pretty spot on however. Sorge got robbed in 08 and the sport has been making up for it every since. Sorge should be the first three time winner. Rampage is about the biggest drops and jumps, period. Everything else is second.

Maybe they should breakdown the scores? Make them clear and transparent? 25% style, 25% gnar factor, 25% Amplitude, 25% time. However you break it down, they must already do it, why not show it. It makes it more obvious and understandable when you break it down. I think it can help reduce debates to some extent and maybe improve accuracy.

BIZET. Hands down. I know he didn't stick his run but what he pulled was pure rad...

why did claw's score get bumped from an 84.something up to an 87? no way a top ten run.

Bizet by a mile...he had me up out of my chair cheering him on! I know he didn't finish, but he had the best run

As much as I love Brendog and I totally feel like he deserved to be higher up the score board, Semenuk's run was just fantastic and he should have been a two time champ.

I love semenuk, but really that big of a gap in the votes? Sounds like a bunch of fanboys are sad their daddy lost. It was a killer run though.

Seems like many of you guys are judging this as if it were a slopestyle competition. This is rampage not joyride. The gnarliest real free ride run was Zink and I don't think anyone could deny that...

I really thought that's it for Semenuk, he was SO smooth and hit so rad jumps. Stoked for Sorge, but sorry Judges, watch the replays and think about it.

riders are judged on line choice rather than line build and as such all lines should be up for grabs.

Don't know about any of you but I think rampage is gnarly af but the event sucked this year. Wish rampage was like a fest series.

So many for semunuk, i thought sorge deserved to win. Watch his run again...he is fast the whole time, stylish and that drop was absolutely huge..... Semunuk fanboys

Is McGarry not even trying anymore? Why did he even bother coming halfway across the world to half ass his runs?

He was free and feels like doing some freeride.

I believe he's had some injuries this year, spent time off the bike..

Mcgarry is as good as flipping the canyon is. Nothing else

He successfully rode down his line twice -- AT RAMPAGE! How is that not trying?

Alias530 (Oct 17, 2015 at 17:24)

@burnbern - because compared to prior years, he looked like he wasn't trying. He rode an easy line and didn't do any tricks and his score reflected that.

doctorsunbeam (Oct 18, 2015 at 12:22)

Because he ain't that good. Or at least not on the same level as the other competitors. Never has been never will be. One trick pony. Has he ever top tenned in anything other than the year he flipped the canyon? Yt snapped him up to sell bikes in the Southern Hemisphere. And he has the ugliest style going.

Milhouse1050 (Oct 18, 2015 at 13:42)

There are riders I like less than others, for sure, but I hope I never take to just slagging off riders. Now that's ugly.

pedroreginato (Oct 16, 2015 at 14:06)

R-DOG was the only one actually got ROBBED. The first one out there always gets ridiculously underscored. Semenuk had the chance and couldn't pull out all his slopestyle combos.

All I see is "the Judges are SICK!" And some riders got robbed! Why not do an open event? PB users vs SICK JuDGES down that mountain. See who gets sick at the end of the day. That'd be sick. Congrats Sorge.
