I'm betting on Andreu, if the judges pull their heads off their asses and stop praising Rheeder.
Rampage 2019
- Thread starter jonKranked
- Start date
i have a dr's appointment at 3. i plan on going media blackout until after the kids are in bed.
nice.
on another note, how have the new meds been working out? i recall you were having some struggles adjusting.
actually, i might let my son watch some of it with me. i let him stay up a little last Friday and he watched "return to earth" with me. he was stoked on the kids parts.
"This year at Rampage we're riding for Jordie Lunn, who was just as much family to me as he was a friend. A one of a kind human who could change the mood of any room he walked into for the better. Forever Jordie Lunn... Forever Rough AF."—Tyler McCaul
I'm still waiting to see him in a white kit, now that Brandon has moved off his murdered out looks.
was watching some of the footage coming out, there was a bit of a tribute to jordie that involved shotgunning a beer and pushups
I already told my son our lunch this Friday wouldn't be accompanied by Captain Underpants as usual, but by the Rampage broadcast.

Day 2 Photo Epic: Labyrinth - Rampage 2019 - Pinkbike
The maze of lines that weave back and forth across the mountain are starting to become more defined.
Quick question for the Monkeys in the know of that Utan location: isn't there a better season or a better start time (i.e. morning) to host Rampage there? The wind delays hit the riders every single year, even making some of them opt out of a second run. From the practice pics it seems this year won't be an exception.
everytime i've ever been there, it's been windy. no matter what time of year it was. but yes, mornings are typically the prime time...
it's crazy hot there in the summer..
It is always gonna be windy there because....

2019 Red Bull Rampage Freerider Interviews with Logan Binggeli
Learn what it takes to make the greatest mountain bike freeride contest in the world happen. Former Rampage athlete, Logan Binggeli, knows what it's like to be out there risking his life, and he interviews riders, diggers and Red Bull Rampage support crew to see how different it is in 2019...
I always thought Binggeli was a crossover between Jake Busey and the singer of The Offspring.

We caught up with the first-time Red Bull Ramage competitor from Spain in a brief moment where he put his tools down.

Did anyone listen to the vital interview w/ him? He basically kept talking about how awesome he was and how he was in a better position now than the rest of the universe. Super annoying dude, I am probably think there are quite a few riders doing better than you bud...Logan Bignelli is giving Rheeder and Semenuk a run for their money in the "least personality" contest.

Video: Behind the Scenes with Rampage Rookie Johny Salido - Pinkbike
Juan Diego 'Johny' Salido is a newcomer to Rampage - take a look at how his preparations are going as the big day gets even closer.
Optimum riding weather would be in late Nov-Dec, imo. Cooler temps, tackier dirt. But the chance of storms would be much higher which would interrupt the prep, practice and comp.
I’ve ridden there the week between Xmas and New Years a few times and it was primo. But I’ve also been snowed on there at that same time of year.

ADD meds started working. The performance isn't consistent but it's defo better. The guy who said Adderall is insulin for the brain was right (unless you snort it that is). No longer crashing after them which is nice because I don't go to my gym on low energy. Thanks for asking. My other meds kinda crashed today so I'm having a little panic attack but everything is getting better.
Also my GF wants to learn to ride pumptracks which is huge because she was super afraid of anything risky (yay good parenting...). Our city has a billion of them so this will be fun.
Going back to Rampage - I'm rooting for Godziek like every year. His progression has been amazing. I remember 10 years ago he didn't even want to take a FS bike to a slopestyle comp. Also he's a great guy and has a great brother. Would be cool to have them one day win 2 big comps in the same year (though David is winning big BMX events)
so anyone else feel that this years first time competitors are at a slight disadvantage because they have to basically start from scratch with their lines, whereas competitors from last year are reusing parts of their lines from last year (for the most part)?
Wasn't this the case with the previous venue too?
i believe so.
Yeah it was exactly the same. New dudes are at a huge disadvantage...It sounds like some of the guys are letting the new guys in on their lines in sections which is the cool thing to do IMO. I can't wait for finals tomorrow, I think I mentioned I was there last year but really wish I had waited to go this year when everything was perfected in the zone.
yea, it's definitely cool that riders are sharing lines to help out the new guys. i wonder if its been discussed to allow the first timers to have an extra dig day.
This. Actually really akward story. He threw it all away by not taking any advice and tried to whitewash it.
