Forum discussion: Rampage 2013

By BikeHubCoreAdmin · 172 comments

It’s all over, the dust has been eaten and the bones are set to mend. Rampage did not disappoint this year and even had its first repeat winner. With 25 riders attacking the infamous red Utah dirt, and between Chubey’s huge gap and Doerfling’s huge crash on the Oakley Icon Sender, this years Rampage was no small affair.

Thought this needs a thread :thumbup:

Zink sends it. Simple fact, if Strait hadn't sent the Oakley sender today; neither would have Zink. Takes two to tango. With an added lip on the side, Zink plans to go full out tomorrow and flip the sender. Just as the sun goes down and the moon rises, Zink sends it rocking out to Black Sabbath on the loud speakers.

Who watched later than 00:30?

 

We got tired of waiting out the wind stoppage so called it a night. Did the riding resume?

This is all I can find:

 

 

Riders took their first runs, and 11 guys managed a second run before the contest was called off due to the wind.

Waited till 00:45 and still didn't resume. It was starting to look like they were going to call it off..?

How crap is this comment?

If you're upset about the scoring at Rampage, remember, it's a publicity stunt for an energy drink firm, not a sporting event.

No I don't mean it like that Those guys are athletes as much as anyone.

 

I think tho for most of the riders just being there and riding that terrain and conquering their own fears makes them all victors. I guarantee you the very last thing on any of their minds when they drop in is the judges scoresheet.

 

Also. how the *******ing ****** WTF ********************* was Zink's backflip?

I heard the commentators saying that McGarry was thinking about front flipping the canyon on his 2nd run :eek:

 

Probably better that they called off the competition... fronting that thing would be victory or death (odds leaning towards the latter)

Any idea how far into the coverage I should go to see Strait's run?

I was in Chatel watching the Mountain style event in 2011 (I watched qualies not the main event) and seeing the features on that track up close gave me shivers. The chicken line on the roll in drop had a 8m vertical drop. I got vertigo just standing next to it. The drops and gaps were beyond comprehension.

 

The rampage stuff tho makes Chatel look like a pumptrack.

Just rewatched McGarry's run... He got Norbied!

 

Straits run was fluid... yes... but pretty uneventful.

 

McGarry should have won!

Eish, I'm tired today.

 

Some damn good riding at Rampage but I thought that McGarry's run was far better than Kyle's. That backflip on the gap jump was insane!

 

Just a pity that only the 1st runs counted.

He did at least win with the fans.
