Check the rampage injury list since 2015. It’s gone down tremendously, and the scale/exposure has gotten way gnarlier. Graham had the one massive crash where he missed the landing. 2016 was when the new format came into place at behest of the riders, after the 2015 shit show where the riders were being treated like expendable product for entertainment. That’s not a vibe I’ve ever gotten from hardline where it’s a rider founded and operated event. I’ve never been to hardline, but I attended rampage 8 years straight as a digger for 5yr and media 2yr. Poached my first year...

It seems lost on some here that the riders at Hardline are there because they want to be. None of them are being compelled to do anything they don't want to. Watch the vlogs available, they're stoked. If someone (such as Kolb) decides it's too much no one is throwing shade on them, their decisions are respected. If a feature is deemed unsafe it's immediately altered (which doesn't always happen at WCDH races). It amazes me how many people think they have a better idea than the riders themselves about what they should and shouldn't be riding. They know exactly...

I think one of the most dangerous trends we're seeing are these quasi-mullet haircuts so many of these fellas are sporting. Sets a really bad example for the impressionable kids. At least the French brigade and their trash-stache's aren't here and making this really inappropriate for children's eyes.

8 out of 10 riders at Proving Grounds would not even make it down the Hardline course.

And after his huge crash, Gee is making his return to racing on this. The "Gee" definitely stands for gnarly.

The most numerous aggressive bottom-outs in any six minute video? For public safety those bikes need to either hung on a wall or buried deep in the earth. Oh my

Too far Stik. . . . we don't need to see someone else get seriously hurt or worse. There was a crazy stat that came out of Val Di Sole that about 45 riders were unable to make the finals start. Reminds me of some of the craziness that was going on in the early 2000's with course setup that were sending people to the hospital. With that said, healing vibes sent to the GOAT, Greg Minnar.

7 sizes, 2 different wheel sizes, 2 different frame materials, 6 colors, 6 build kits. I'm so thankful I don't have to do any product management at Trek! LOL

It's Norco engineer/racer/full-time employee Kirk McDonald on the new alloy Norco DH prototype. Looks like it's based off the Range, but more DH-ified than the new-link/longer shock Range frames the DH team is currently riding.

Kerr vs Kerr during the broadcast had me laughing out loud, especially during the virtual straight portion during which neither Rob or Claudio could tell which was supposed to be which. What a legend...thanks for everything, Rob!!

Some of his lines are just mental. After watching RAW from day 1, he is the only one taking some of those lines that are just outside the destroyed main line. The kid is something different!

So some French gamesmanship from Amaury Pierron and Myriam Nicole. Top on splits and then suddenly backing it in to the finish line using that protected status to get an early start in case the rain hits the top 10?
