Red Bull Rampage - The Evolution - Brandon Semenuk takes it home!

 i honestly wonder if they kept all the tricks hidden, and are saving them for the movies. so far the filmography theyve realesed isnt nearly what i was hoping for...

 i called semenuk on that one....

 CANADA KICK ASS!

 what happened to cam?

 He crashed- reports of a slight concussion too.

 this is sick, love it, congrats to brandon, and to thomas vanderham for #3 AND biggest trick

 that sucks for cam. sure he woulda been up there in the top 3

 Wheres the 60 footer? Thats what I really want to see.

 there were jumps and step downs/ups that were bigger than previous years i think. but there wasn't any stupid out of control hucking this year. I think that this year the fact that bender didn't ride was a shame because he's definitely a fun guy to watch. at the same time though because bender wasn't there destroying himself gives mountain biking a better image.

 not necessarily smaller but more flow to it, longer transitions and since it has been 4 years since the last rampage alot of progression has happened and alot of the riders are alot smoother now. Back during the first rampage freeride mountain biking was still fairly new and the riders were focused on throwing themselves off of cliffs and generally had little style while doing it. That being said i still think this rampage still wasn't as hardcore as the other ones. To me a 45 foot huck is more impressive then a backflip over a 30 foot jump.

 Backflip over a 30 foot gap is the norm, a 45 foot huck is fuckin nuts. Regardless the contest shows the mountain biking has drastically changed in the past 4 years but is still keeping to its routes by going big as well. Rampage Evolution is the perfect mountain bike contest.

 It didnt seem nearly as big as the past rampage years. They had plenty of style and were smooth in the past. That gap that Kyle Strait was throwing suicides off looked just as big if not bigger than everything in this video.

 I was there working the course. Everything was just as big if not BIGGER. Just no hacks in it this time around to make crap look sketchy. It was all about flow and smoothness this year. If it couldn't be done smoothly, it was rebuilt.

 wasn't it a little biased having shandro judging with the two trek riders?

 If he earned it, No. Shandro isn't that type of judge. Proves it when Kurt and Thomas had first runs as 1-2. Giant and Evil's new face have nothing to do with Trek.

 plus mccaul would have been up there to if it was biased..

 McCaul got knocked out. He's got a concussion. Him and Van Dine.

 oh shit. that sucks

 hahhaha made me laugh:P

 except bowl

 good point the kid lives in whsitler shouldnt it of been evident to evryone hes gona be able to shred the gnar in every aspect.

 Shorts and little to no armor have absolutely nothing to do with progression man... That's just a poor choice of the riders'.

 And Cedric as well?
