What seemed impossible 4 years ago has been more than achieved in the past few days! Red Bull Formation 2022 absolutely delivered. So many wild moments, these 3 runs are just a fraction of the insanity that went down!

Yep that video editing was great. I think rampage should be filmed like this, rather than making it live with aerial shots from 5 miles away so the features looked tamed down. We would sacrifice having it live, but realistically I don't think many people would care since they tend have large periods of downtime between runs. And ultimately it will stop me whining about how tame and manicured the runs are, cause we can actually see how friggen terrifying it is.
You can. They had it at last rampage. It is a relatively recent development. Dont recall it being top to bottom though. May be due to safety with more people around. Or maybe range for the is not that large yet. @mmarkey21:
@mmarkey21: I think they may even have that, although not the close follow cam. Not sure of the technical feasibility of it all, but would also take some editing to make it a quality vid like the formation one.
@ajaxwalker: Agree on the drone footage, shows the scale so well. You can get HD drone footage fed into a live feed so the best of both is possible - live drone and sick edits
@Burningbird: Yep, that's one of the tricks she does pretty regularly. She can land a backflip like that too! Check out this Audi Nines vid if you want your mind blown youtube.com/watch?v=qti_WzhwYJ4
ALSO. I just want to shout out Cami's nerves of steel. Right after that gnarly crash, she went directly back up to the top and dropped in again. She's really something else.
@alicialeggett: while watching to video of that run is that if I crashed like that I would 100% never ride that line again. One of the many reasons Im not a world class freerider
Robins run def stands out! I think they all did great considering the limited time to dig and practice and the dry ass, loose conditions. Kind wished it would be a longer 2 week process so riders could recover better and pick ideal times to ride.
Hearing the girls breathe while riding down shows how hard just making it down the hill is. The adrenaline and focus needed is wild. So exposed! I'd like to just walk that stuff. To ride it? Maybe not.
Robin Goomes backflipping right after barely cleaning the step up deserves some more love! To get your head back together like that and then send it is rad!
So awesome. I can’t believe the size of the ovaries these women have to ride the lines they did and on top of that throw in some great style. My daughter was so stoked to see women pushing themselves and the sport they love.
I found this more interesting to watch than the gymnastics of the Rampage. It has the vibe of the earliest Rampage events and the ladies all ripped it.
Just watched the raw clips on the big screen, the audio is so well done. Brilliant decision to mic the riders.
In contrast the highlights reel generic soundtrack was unbearable through big speakers.
Great place to ride, I'd love to try out some of those lines and get into those zones........Bit embarrassing still for a professional level riders to ride around stuff they've "built" and not throw tricks.........last years course showcased their skill level a bit better I'd say.
I should also include: the riding was amazing
Katie Lozancich‘s photos in the none paywalled B€T@ link are fantastic. Congrats to Katie Lozancich ,the riders ,diggers and organisers

Drone footage is good too, would be great to follow male riders as well (as long as it films the whole thing, of course)
Unreal.
Great work.
Thanks to Redbull for putting on such a rad event, to Pinkbike for great coverage & to all the ladies for freaking killing it.

Yewwwwww!
