I don't even see Rampage as the best avenue for his riding/marketing. Real Street was actually quite good for him. Like obviously whatever placing he got on real street wasn't what he got at Rampage. And he missed some of his cues on Rampage which wouldn't have even scored much higher but I really really wanted to see a proper flair at Rampage, and not just a flatspin hip or whatever. I love what he brings. Doesn't mean I need to see him at Rampage. Although as a BMX guy he can do a lot of slope stuff like Semenuk...

I re-read your first post after I already clicked submit on mine and realized they mostly aligned. And to an extent, I should probably take a cue from you, looking bummed on a podium probably shouldn't be harped on, people are due emotions. However, I still think a longer form response on a podcast where he straight up claimed he...

A) this is why i sneakily put HIMSELF in the original statement. (apparently B turns into an emoji... so b) i am not pushing for stark to get back in, nor have i seen anybody really push for it in this thread. unless it was somewhere in that last post? also he did not flip the canyon, he did a tuck no hander on the canyon. he's def not a '1st place rampage rider', he is the guy you invite SPECIFICALLY to have a moment like the rail moment. its dylan you KNOW there is going to be hijinks around...

I have to push back on Stark a bit. He was absolutely a savage BMX rider, but I would suspect his inability to rise to the top had other factors at play beyond on the bike talent (more on that below). As for Dylan in mountain biking, he has done some cool stuff and put our some wildly entertaining videos...

The only utility I potentially see for points is with the competitors and the decision to take a second run. Let us say two riders both complete a top to bottom run 1 and are slotted next to each other in the rankings. Rider A tricks every major feature in their line and has no discernible hiccups. Rider B leaves...

That is a wild rumor. If any resort(s) in Utah were set-up to host a large bike event it would be Deer Valley (ultimately the same corporate overlords as Solitude, Alterra) or Park City (Vail Resorts). Solitude has limited parking, limited accommodations, and limited restaurants. Everyone would need to stay in Salt Lake Valley and drive 30-40 minutes up each...

You got me (I mean him). Made an account in 2010 at age 14 (if I were TVS) just in case I needed to defend my future self and Rampage performance on Vital decades later.

The fact that bender is a judge still is crazy. What does that mean know about technical lines or flat flipping a drop.

Except you are just wrong. Even in snow sports, a properly executed front flip that is stomped to feet would be considered just as cool or more so than a basic straight backflip.
Except go watch Reed Boggs run again with a microscope. His ability to ride some of the biggest features more smoothly than even some pros could ride Whistler is incredible. It is just extremely nuanced and you have to be super eagle eyed to spot it because it’s so casual. That is also an insane level of bike handling that should be rewarded. He flipped a 50-60ft drop twice and when he landed it looked like he dropped of a curb.

Right or wrong, I think some of it comes down to the fact that nobody else on that hill could have done Brandon’s run. Meanwhile, Syzmon and Adolf had identical tricks on two of their biggest contributing features and three people flipped Price is Right. That being said, for the first time ever I’m not convinced they got the top...

i prob tell this story every year, but i went out there in '01 to film and left after the first practice day b/c i thought for sure someone would die. it was terrifying. von williams rolling up to the main drop of the day and slapping into a trials hop off the clif was the sickest. and lance canfield. he was right at home.

Its still way easier than World Champs. Either get a VPN and watch live, or wait 10-minutes after the live broadcast ends and watch the replay through RedBull TV. Considering its on a Saturday the latter is a great option because now you can go ride all day without feeling bad then watch Rampage over dinner and a beer.

Rumour of my demise have been exaggerated. We are safe. But we are forever changed. A water & wind event of near biblical proportions hit us & has taken far more lives than can be counted. Didn't know where to make my one post, but this will be it for a long time. No politician, no plan, no design could have stopped anything that happened here. A stream I could step across took the first home at the top of it. A friend lost 10 members of his family saving his wife and kids watching his parents & relatives swept...

Your assessment couldn't be further from the truth. I live in 87 year old home in an old neighborhood within walking distance of downtown. Most of my shopping uses no bags and no receipts. I drive a small hatchback from 2007 because the gas mileage is good, it's a smaller car so it's safer for those around me, driving it and keeping it in good repair prevents more stuff from sitting in a landfill, and I can fit my bike in by taking off my front wheel. I repair my shoes if possible. I repair my pants if possible. I...

Well a person has two options: 1) Try to make the best decisions possible (vote with your dollar) while still living life. This is in regard to sustainability, social causes, etc. OR 2) Take up direct action to spark a groundswell revolution and remove the late-stage capitalist system that will ultimately destroy the planet if not reigned in. Very few...

There is a solid Blister podcast recently with the FlyLow founder where they discuss pfas free dwr. California is requiring all outerwear to be pfas free starting in 2025 so any company wanting to sell there or to a large store (Evo, REI, etc) who has locations there will be pfas free soon.

4. Odds that YouTube users - especially mtb video watchers - click on an attractive lady: 95% 5. Odds that YouTube's algorithm prefers/promotes videos with thumbnails of people's faces more than products thumbnails: 100% Just wanted to also add those in there.
