Building at Rampage has been underway for a bit now, but as the show gets closer and the riders get their lines dialed, we're getting that nervous feeling again.


If Jordie feels sketchy, you know it's ludicrous. Claw and T-Mac's drop from last year

And the digging begins! #redbullrampage

if your digging doesn't involve a harness, you're doing it wrong at rampage

The proper way to pack landings in the desert! #rampagebuildcrew2017 #sorryforpartying #partytime

Zink, Strait, and PEF are building what appears to be the fastest way to get to post-Rampage beers:



And the view from the top:



Shit is so steep you have to rappel into it to be able to work on it!

Whoever thought riding their bike down this was a good idea???

Cliffside booters for Semenuk. He's on the same line as last year but with "improvements"...

WHOA. This angle gives an even better idea of the line Zink/Strait/PEF are taking down the mountain:

conor mcfarlane taking a digger! i'm gonna ruffle feathers, but i hope this year the "you're tough, shake it off, keep riding" element is lessened. if a rider takes a head smack, they should be out. (not saying this is a head smack, but last year conor took a beating too many times IMO)

@connormcfarland is a beast! #redbullrampage

Agree, it hurts to watch Rogatkin finish his run after he fell off the side.

T-mac sending his big drop and linking hits for the first time. Check out how nervous big brother Cam is watching on!

10/26/2017 1:22am
Uuuuuuhhhhh Reed Boggs, don't try THAT again... Smile

BOOM! It's done, Zink has ridden his line from the top. Parental advisory, explicit lyrics!
