It seems that single backflip and 360 are the lowest standard for Rampage riders, so our French boy throw down a double backflip. It's a shame he was so close to make it. Hope you are ok and heal up quick Antoine!
I don't care who wins anymore. Almost impossible to fairly judge a contest like this with the slope guys doing their crazy tricks and the big jumps of the fest series guys or the guys riding fast tech lines. Definitely don't think Aggys first run was better than semenuks but what can ya do. Better to just sit back and watch the amazing riding.
This... I was getting frustrated with the judging but really this is just so fun to watch who cares who wins. It's impossible to judge this properly and appease everybody
Unfortunetly riders have got to play to the judging, if they want to score high, this isnt joyride, its not all about the tricks, as smooth and dialed as Semenuks run was it lacked the huge balls out style of the podium runners, its clear what the judges are looking for, its up to the riders to deliver that. Dont get me wrong that run from Semenuk was freaking awesome but i'm not a judge. I think Sorge's run was a good balance and deserving of the podium, however i think the scoring was way too high too quick, in some cases riders have decided its not even worth the risk of trying a 2nd run... massively dissapointing for us watching...
Is there actually a weighted criteria though? Like diving or gymnastics. I know they talk about amplitude, style, speed but is it broken down with weightings etc? It seems pretty haphazard...
Oh my word. Semenuk! The whole run was amazing and even the little nose tap/drift there mid way just shows the incredible bike control he has. He's just on another level.
Brandon still had some pretty techy shit to ride down (like that first drop which was also huge...)
The top guys did, but they all lacked the line difficulty in a sense if you ask me. Well, Sorge did do a better job there than Andreu or Aggy, but yes, everything was overscored in general.
Did anyone else hear the 3 mins of live audio leading up to the broadcast? Pat and some other guys taking bets and Pat talking about taking a dump. Haha. Not exactly professional Red Bull but funny at least. You'd think they'd know if they broadcasting or not...
Zink was under pointed, his run deserved to be a legend run. Zink, don't stop, it was just a mistake of judges. I'm old rider too, now 15 years of schredding, and I trully uderstand the decision, You got wonderful beautiful wife and gorgeus doughter. Keep save,You don't need to do anything to be a legend. You are right now.
I can't understand how Sorge's and others runs could be better than Semenuk's.. Than run was absolutely perfect! Speed, flat drop, oppo 360, flip can, 540 + so much style. Judges must be blind. I hope he will add 720cork and end this mess.
I'm pretty sure they were there too? No team support? No back up bikes? I think he was riding a borrowed spesh demo for his second run and he didn't look happy! Rampage is the big show. They def shoulda had a few extra rigs ready to go.
Not really live, if you go to dvr mode on the player you can watch first two runs at 30min mark, and please red bull remove the standings tab because it's already showing the score of the first 7 riders!!! spoiler alert!!
Too be honest R-dog, my favorite freerider, looked reserved, and kept a lot in the can. Wind maybe, hard when you're first run, so maybe he took a cruiser to see how things pan out and will beast his 2nd run. Brendo's run was kind of a meh too.
Gonna watch at work. If Semenuk pulls off a flawless run a la Crankworx I'm going ape shit (while everyone else in the office wonders WTF is up with that guy......)
So stoked for norbys run and congrats on the proposal to the missus, the wedding ceromony will be at the next rampage at the trophy ceromony ???? And fffffffffaaaaaaahhhhhhhccccccckkkkkkk yeah SEMENUK KILLED IT
Anyone else who was watching DVR while the event was still on get booted? Paused for a pee break and now not only do I know the finals result, it wont let me watch the event. WTF redbull.
Is there any chance redbull could implement some kind of 30 second rewind button on their media player? with a 5 hour video its really awkward to make the system rewind a tiny bit back without it snapping to the Live feed.
My feed on my phone keeps freezing and then going to a 5 week old superbike race, then on the laptop is slow and jumpy, hopefully the iPad casting to the TV will work! I've essentially missed everybodies first run, let's hope the seconds are all good!!
Best live thing to watch on tv ever!
Last year wining line is nearly the same for top 3 this year.
Aggy and andreu did well, just protect line and add few tricks.
Bizet coming for the first year on this spot, qualifying and trowing in final like he did, is the thing of this year. Only rider to flip the canyon, 3 times, first front flip landed, then first attempt on double back.
The aggy mania is over, cant wait for next year.
The judging inflated pretty quick but one for sure - it doesn't matter if you're defending champ like Andreu or a newbie like Reynolds, Fest is the best training for Rampage!
Someone could actually reach a 98 score but then it will feel like the contest is a joke. The runs this year were almost the same as last year and nobody scored that high.
fuck the red bull player! cant watch more than 4 minutes without it buffering or the sound shutting off and not turning back on without refreshing the page.
34 ft gap to 18 ft lead up to 24ft gap backflipped. Stalled a bit, sure, but nobody is linking up danger gaps like that. Maybe if he suicide no handed it tho.......
What is the point of a 2nd run? There shouldn't be one at this kind of event anyway. And now with first run scores in the 96? So whack. But props to the boys. This is the most progressive rampage by far. Everyone is throwing down.
The scores are way too high, however, I agree with how they are judging this...this isn't a slopestyle contest and jump heavy lines like Brandon's shouldn't win. The tech lines with huge drops which also incorporate the big booters is what Rampage is about and judged on.
Brandon's line is pretty tech and steep at the start. He carried wicked speed along the ridge and was able to style everything out while stomping his tricks. I thought his line was way heavier than Aggy's but Aggy did boost some other features a little bigger. super hard to judge but I was definitely feeling Semenuk's more.
I has so happy to see that Sal Masekela guy finally wasnt there commentating...and now he is, smh. That guy doesn't know anything about any sport he broadcasts...
Paul Basigoitia needs our support. Zink posted about it 4 hours ago on his instagram. He had surgery on his t12 vertebrae during 9 hours. He still doesn't have feeling in his legs. He has to be strong. Send him healing vibes with me please !
I really have no clue anymore. I mean probs to sorge, but the biggest hit was a tuck backflip over the rzr which also Thomas G did but i feel like Thomas' run was better overall. I am also not quiet sure about Aggy. Semenuk and TG should be ontop right now imho. (After the first set of runs) But i am no Rampage judge, right? So what do i know.
just me or does the commentary really just suck with these two... This is rampage no excitement in their voices.. Right now there dumbing down the comp for me ..Where the hell is Claudio !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Im really enjoying Cam on the mic! He knows the riders really well and their various styles, knows the hill and its features, and the various technical aspects involved such as noting loose/rocky/steep sections!
I think adding Claudio to this would be a awesome for that awesome excitment element
Cam is doing a great job on the mic! He has so much inside knowledge and history, it's great to hear him be able to provide a constant stream of commentary. It would be tough to do during this competition.
Just overly excited, Cam does know all about the event and riders...but after Claudio internet sensation did the preview and is currently present there seems like a slam dunk he would do it...
Only judge chould be Peoples Choice!
Dont get me wrong that run from Semenuk was freaking awesome but i'm not a judge.
I think Sorge's run was a good balance and deserving of the podium, however i think the scoring was way too high too quick, in some cases riders have decided its not even worth the risk of trying a 2nd run... massively dissapointing for us watching...
Btw, so much for broadband; I'm on a 130Mb connection and broadcast is stuttering all the time regardless of resolution..
The top guys did, but they all lacked the line difficulty in a sense if you ask me. Well, Sorge did do a better job there than Andreu or Aggy, but yes, everything was overscored in general.
And fffffffffaaaaaaahhhhhhhccccccckkkkkkk yeah SEMENUK KILLED IT
Out with injury???
