CMac and Doerfling just kind of killed that place.

That canyon jump must be a little bucky at that speed if Cam McCaul feels like he needs to bar hump it a bit. At least they finally built a landing for it.

I hope zink doesn't kill himself.

He crashed it nose heavy the night before, compensation?

For sure. But if you look at both clips of his first AND second run at it, it looks a little sharp.......which means it's a pretty bad jump to consider flipping. But then again, it's also big enough that you've got enough time to just deal with the lip and start your pull afterwords. I don't know.......I've only hit small things and used the lip to rotate. At 60 something feet you just might be able to do it all in the air. Pretty gnarly though. Zink is all checkers or wreckers so I'd love to see him do it. I just don't want to see the guy paralyzed because he's stubborn.

Part of me considers this contest to be a bit gruesome...

I guess I'm just getting old. I suppose that most of these guys would be out doing this anyway...

whats up with the judges!?
In my opinion its too heavily weighted in favor of tricks and on terrain like this I think tricks look out of place. There's enough slopestyle/street/dirt jump events, this should be the one where big mountain riding is rewarded.

The McCauls runs have been 1 & 2 so far in my book.

what happened to fairclough? I thought he qualified 12th?
Tweaked his knee and decided to sit out the finals.
Red Bull had links to their twitter pages on the main site, he said he was bummed he would have to miss the finals, same with Gee.
