given he's been to Fest Series before, can't say i'm too surprised he's nailing the big jumps

 

[vivisectxi]

quite the well rounded prodigy. something to be said about being raised from birth on a bike in whistler i guess?

 

[Gary]

dude was hitting Megaramp at 10 years old and double backflipped at Audi Nine's at 15. and now in his second Jnr WC DH season is posting FTD @ just 18
I'd say he's the best rider there

 

[Gary]

Talking of style n tricks... is Vinny T there? haven't seen him in anyone's footage.

why is he posting this on instagram? the playback feature sucks. could it be because he's not keen on youtube's monetization policy?

edited to add, maybe I'm just old.

 

[Gary]

maybe I'm just old

Yes. definitely

 

[Gary]

He's also in field at the bottom of a Welsh mountain. Where with phone reception a 3min video for Instgram will upload in a minute or so but you could be waiting until next Tuesday for a decent quality Youtube upload to complete

 

[buckoW]

Yeah, Vinny T is there.

Grandad!

Close enough!

I like his shit post YouTube channel. I feel like I am learning a foreign language when I hear him talk.

 

[Kanye West]

So did Kerr throw on another Reynolds wheel and go full send with it?

 

[Gary]

You're hearing your native language @Westy. 'Bout time you learned it

 

[Gary]

Yes. But he then went with his other bike from MSA & Snowshoe as they found a swingarm crack on the Martini

 

[sethimus]

she blewit again

 

[canadmos]

This video is old now, but I liked it. Jono Jones is a good nonobnoxious commentator.

 

[SylentK]

As a spectator, I'm all for huge jumps. As a former racer, I thought they were a bit of a risk. Mainly due to wind, which is out of your control. Never liked the feeling of the wind taking me for a ride.

These guys are pros and know the risks. But still I can't say I agree with the giant ass jumps, I'd prefer more gnar steeps. But I'm just a spectator.

 

[Westy]

Ha! I actually grew up speaking with an English accent, just the Peterborough version, not the completely different version from two hours north.

 

[aaronjb]

This event is like injury porn or something. No thanks.

 

[Da Peach]

I feel the same way about rampage.

 

[aaronjb]

I feel the same way about rampage.

At least Rampage isn't timed. But after Paul Bas's injury, it lost some lustre to me.

At least riders build and scope their own lines at Rampage.

I'm probably just and Old Man (TM) now, though. I go to Highland and see the kids do the flippy spinnies, or the local teenage racers launch giant rock drops on nearby hills, and realize that bikes in my subconcious mind may still be the 2" travel death machines from the 90s. Riding off a curb could result in death back then.

I'm guessing there isn't much to differentiate riders speed with those huge jumps, they are pretty much all going the same speed, so it is all just a show and the time is made up elsewhere.

I dunno. I’m all for “progression”, but I’m a patient man. Let the nut jobs put out clips of their insane-o tricks on their own time. The contest environment certainly speeds things up, but I’d rather not be a part of adding pressure towards a life altering injury TODAY for the sake of making the most of a hyped up event.

Alas, we are not known for our patience, so let the bodies splash!

 

[Bikael Molton]

Not to mention many (most?) of the riders are making low 4 figures from the event, if that.

 

[rideit]

They are all just in to meet hot nurses, amirite?

Yeah we don't really want to watch our buddies die or get maimed for beer money and bro cred. Stopped watching Rampage many years ago. When I see footage of it now it also looks like a BMX course carved into the side of the mountain. Nothing raw or natural about it in recent years. Might as well hold it on any random hillside, preferably one that's a shorter life-flight distance.

 

[toodles]

Hardline this year seems to hit different hey. Maybe I got older or watched too many Friday Fails, but I'm genuinely concerned watching it. I'll try to make sure I get some rums in me before its on to get ride of that concern though.

Seriously though, hope they all get sendy. Well done to them all just for ticking it off.

 

[Nick]

at least it looks dry and not windy. let's go!

 

[slimshady]

Why are the riders surrounded by flying turds in the videograph before they drop in?

 

[Bike078]

That Vinny T is a mad man. Not really into the whole thing though. I'm just hoping everyone makes it through safely.

You've been to Wales?

amarite?

Looks like those Continental tyres didn't hook up so well....
