well...people have been talking about rb rampage safety for a long time...so maybe that accounts for the seemingly disproportionate response to bas's injury as opposed to wil Olsen's death. I personally fault the corporate sponsors less than I fault "we" the rider---sponsors wouldn't be fighting for our dollars if we weren't spending so goddamn many of them on stupid, redundant equipment. but we live in a consumer society so not much to do there except complain and moan about it. and corporations certainly can be villains. not sure if rb is one or not...... as far as safety is concerned...this...

Unless mistaken, I don't think the author was telling the riders what to do or feel. As far as I could tell, he was writing about Redbull and corporate exploitation. In any event (no pun intended) it's often jobs where there's a lot on the line that you have to do what other people tell you--public opinion matters, for better or worse.

fwiw, I found that reply by Steve Romaniuk to be insulting and myopic. "So why are you speaking? You don't get what it means to sacrifice and hang it out for something you truly love." What a foolish thing to say. Many of us put it on the line each and every day--just cos it's not at Rampage doesn't mean it's not valuable. I'd argue that there are TONS of jobs that are way more important than riding your bike around.

Hi Friends, In the wake of Paul Basagoitia's injury there has been a real uproar over the pay for these athletes, insurance coverage and corporate exploitation. The common theme here is people looking for something upon which to heap their blame, focus their anger and cope with the reality that a fellow mountain biker has once again been seriously hurt...

This guy is incredible. Watched it like three times already. His palmares is out of this world too. Here's to hoping he's a next top dog on the WC DH circuit!
