Serious thanks to Vital MTB and SRAM for their outrageous prize package. Totally blew my mind. Really enjoyed the Fantasy competition and do hope that this continues for 2025. Thanks again.

Long live The Union. A fraction of the budget and a bigger stack of results than so many high-dollar teams out there. Their absence tells the story of things to come.

Having ridden at La Thuile in the past, I can confirm that the area where the world cup track is routed is steep as F£&K.

Shout out to Jonny. I learned a lot about a bike I'd probably visually pass over but he's made so many good points about the bike, and likely sold it more than Scott ever could. Love the external routing 'hack'. Love the little axle seated multi tool. (Don't love the pressfit BB but hey whatever.) He even mentions how to tame pressfit BBs too. Jonny is a legend for this one.

Hey, I’m Ryan Burney. I’ve spent eight years as an engineer for full-suspension bikes, working on some fun projects, like developing the flex Horst link for the Cannondale Scalpel and being lead engineer for the latest GT Fury downhill bike. With over a decade of downhill racing under my belt (even made it to one World Cup—though I didn’t qualify so I stuck to engineering), I've had the pleasure of racing alongside the Vital crew, like Jason, Tanner, and Dak. Below is a photo of me, being slower than Dak. These days, I’m focused on my own projects, but I...

I think it is safe to say Rampage changed a lot of people's lives. I got to go in 2003 and it for sure had an impact on mine. The rain in 2004 changed the direction of Rampage forever. It transitioned it from the big mountain ski style contests to evolve to what it is today, for better or worse. Seems like 20 years later, we are no clearer to clear outlines of what is a winning line. Though Cedric hit some gnarly stuff and tossed in a flip to win in 2003. Pretty clear winner IMO. Thanks for sharing...

Your story was pretty rad then and now and still holds well. I was there too in both 03' and 04' in which riders were mostly riding sketchy lines etched in the mountain and can say it was still raw and untamed compared to the slopestyle runs that you see today. I pretty sure I see me crouched in the Minnaar pic, hah.

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.
