R120 Added a reply to 2025 Red Bull Rampage
10/21/2025 3:39am I like some others have become increasingly uncomfortable with Rampage over the last few years, and like others have said hard to put a reason as to why, given i watch and enjoy many other events across action sports with as much risk, where i don't get the same ominous feeling of impending doom as i now get from Rampage...

reckon im more interested in this clip... kinda happy to agree with some takes here. Godzy was probably the best 'Rampage' type run. and Semenuks run was arguably less clean/stylish and had some general dead/slower spots when compared to Godzy. Amplitude, Speed, Tricks. I may personally think speed should be less of a factor, for my personal bias, but at the end of the day the way Lacondeguy and Silva and Godzy as well as Strait and Zink ride the mountain is super entertaining.

10/31/2024 9:52am Zink and Strait on Gypsy tales breaking down Brendogs run - not sure how i feel about other competitors breaking down other riders lines, but it does give some insight into the scoring. Most interesting element for me is there view on Jordies chute where they comment that jumping off would give more points than riding down. For me this...

10/26/2024 2:23pm The issue is the judging doesn't make sense year on year, but then again maybe thats because Rampage itself doesn't seem to know what it is anymore - lets face it the actual event day is a spectacle, a hype fest, and more of a made for TV event than one thats scheduled to actually allow the riders to thrown...

10/22/2024 1:59pm R120 from the Surrey Alps just south of London Town. Been riding MTB since late 80’s and pretty much any and every kind of bike since i can remember, seduced from a young age by the mechanical anarchy of cogs and chains. Spent many years in the Alps on snow and dirt, been lucky enough to ride both badly with...
R120 Started a new thread Natural Selection Bike
10/22/2024 1:52pm Natural selection has long been one of my favourite snowboard events, and pretty much the only one that really manages to capture freestyle focused free ride properly. They are expanding to cover other events, one of which is MTB, taking over proving grounds. Given the recent hoohah over Rampage, might this be an alternative that takes more of a focus...

10/15/2024 2:33pm For me to enjoy Rampage you have to park the scoring and just appreciate what all the riders are doing - its almost got to a stage where the approach's being taken are so different its hard to judge and compare. You have Semenuk doing super tech on smaller features, but the tricks he is doing are still likely the...

10/13/2024 3:47am I don’t think Bren ever expects to win, just that what he is doing is rightly recognised. The issue for me is that amplitude/exposure/gnar seems to have taken second place to technicality of trick. I also think that the build element has got lost, especially when you re in an area used before - building new lines and features that...
