Wow, it's like the Sierra Club showed up and forced them to turn the course into a multi-use bike path. Stupid and fun at the same time...
...like some women I know. :biggrin:

Maybe that's the landing for the gap?
Wtf is that supposed to mean shorty?
It means the water supply is replaced with sparks.
While I sip teh monster coffee with a raised pinky.
I heard "some of the dirtjump guys already showed up and decided it was too crazy and backed out" or something along those lines from nsmb. Which may or may not have any reputable sources to back it up. Don't quote me on it.
I got a feeling it may be Vanderham this year.
I was able to get some sneak peeks from practice. This is going to be intense!
thats just gold
ill be honest ive been always a fan of the rampage events due their choose your own line natural approach, definitely pushes the boundary of the sport
Not too sure im liking the idea of these wooden stunts being built.
Dont get me wrong im impressed, theyre crazy but I dont want to see this event turn into another slopestyle.
I want to see the lines be hard to ride and not necessarily be tricked
Hey I could be proven wrong, im sure the sport will progress into a new level after this weekend.
I still remember seeing the first photo if Super T hucking that 30ft drop, still looks crazy to this day.
This is far from a slopestyle, it will never be as easy as a slopestyle competition, in regards to terrain and line selection. A few pre built lines don't immediately mean its the new boneyard, thats still good old Utah ground they have to land on and pin it through to make it down. This is just the 'evolution', hence the name.

Lets hope though thats what i want to see,
i guess you get this impression from the photos posted on the net, without seeing the overall course and you base you internet opinions on that
Cant wait to see footage of it
yeah im clearly not attending and have never been anywhere near it. so im in the same boat as everyone else. pictures on the web. but it doesnt look like their flagging the riders runs directly into buffed, tame landings so there is still the same style of line choosing happening. this also takes less time for riders to worry about scouting areas to gap and build and test stunts. before it was on dirt but wood is a lot more consistent and easier to maintain and does bring another element to the event, because there were always gaps/hips/dirt lips....kyle strait threw down one of the hugest no handers in the last one. i dont know why everyone is getting so hyped people might be able to pull tricks on a few wooden takeoffs. berrecloth was doing indian airs his first time there...only difference is now its more than some dirt. they just pre built and streamlined some things imo.

You may all be having the same problem with Freecaster that I am: videos are sorted by "default" and when I click "latest" instead it doesn't do anything. Just did a search for rampage and found...

"You're world downhill mountain bike champion, What the hell are you doing here?!?!"
"it's like a ski jump and the landing is flat. If you don't make it, you have maybe 10m down...you die dude, for sure, you're done..."
"HOLY FvCK"
hahaha I love the commentary by Warner and CG.

Dang that canyon jump landing is kind of really overly flat.
i think that's rachel atherton. she's in one of the photos on the rampage site holding a pick axe.
Some investor needs to buy a parcel of that BLM land and put in a lift.
Works for ski areas.
Probably not the best time to be asking for loans though.

untested 1st gen proto + 60' cayon gap of doom /= confidence. probably a good call.
Only thing that would boost my confidence on that course would be lots of rope and a good belay device.
Not much different than the unrideable Turner/DW bike everyone seems to be be wetting their pants for . . .Looks like it which means there is still no evil proto. Who would have thought
Sorry, what?!
