Video: Szymon Godziek's 2nd Place Rampage POV

 Where were you when I went to school?

 You are a W teacher.

 I think I got to watch Our Mr. Sun in 5th grade.

 @dbullmtb:

 Teacher of the year award goes to.... @sk8mountain!!!

 Wow that must be nice

 Rabble! Rabble rabble rabble rabble

 Sigh-mon Godziek.

 100% after they read his score our whole section and half of the venue booed! I was there for McGazza and there for this and his 3 into a run in that you had to grease the speed and then flip it, and then sui flip afterwards was the shit! There is a theme of the in club for Rampage riders and it seems they gear the score towards them.

 What i really appreciated about this run was it looked like he was ripping speed the whole time! Reeder was creeping down the mountain, slow rolling to the drops so he could trick them. Looked like Syzmon hit everything with more speed and flow.

 @Questlove967: Could not be more incorrect. Do you know how much speed it takes to flat drop flip a 30+ drop with a one foot can? Or tail whip an even bigger gap at high speed lol. My dude.....what are you talking about.

 @zone66: General flow, look at the top section on the narrow exposed ridge, Szymon was hauling at least 30% faster and on the back wheel for most of the ridge

 Rheeder had fewer tricks actually, but more diverse ones. And he had more big drops than SG.

 No I don’t, because Zink never won with a flip off the Oakley sender.

 My dude. Everything Rheeder hit was massive, absolutely massive.

 @zone66: Yes, I'm having trouble understanding how people thing Godziek got robbed. His run was sick but he was also given 2nd place. Personally, I'm fine with that. I just think Rheeders run was better.

It was a bigger more technical line (outside of the canyon gap) and his tricks were better. Godziek's big tricks were 3 backflips off jumps, one with a no hander, and two regular 360 drops.

Rheeder's were Flat drop backflip can-can, 50ft tailwhip, 360 drop, tailwhip step down, and opposite 360. Plus he had the big technical drop up top on the ridge. Outside of the canyon gap flip I think Rheeders tricks were all generally bigger and more technical.

 Zink got 3rd for that backup run since that was his only big trick. www.pinkbike.com/news/Red-Bull-Rampage-2013-Final-Results.html

Rheeder never did a sketchy 3 into the run in for 75 foot back flip. if oppo tricks and tail whips are winning runs, lets call this a slopestyle event.

I think godziek deserved a higher score.

 @slayerdegnar: I’m not sure I follow your logic. So Godziek should get full credit for doing two 360s in his run, both his natural way, but Rheeder does two 360s, one being opposite (which is more difficult) and you complain that his run was too ‘slopestyle’?

That’s how you differentiate the runs. If two guys are doing the same tricks but one is doing it opposite you score that rider higher.

 @zone66: 3rd

 @mi-bike: Rheeder rode slow and carefully - that a HUGE different

 @jergus: your brain is slow, stop supporting athletes based on where you live, it's super weak

 @jergus: you're so right. SG took only 80 seconds from start platform to finish corral. BR rode at a glacial pace and took a whopping 1 minutes and 24 seconds!

 @mi-bike: So...4 seconds longer? Is my sarcasm meter broken?

 @gnarnaimo: so right, glacial pace, whopping. Your meter is broken beyond repair.

 @mi-bike:

 It's funny how half of the pinkbike comments are complaining that rampage is just a slopestyle course, and the other half of the comments are arguing about which of the two runs that most resemble slopestyle (godziek and rheeder) should have won.

 @toast2266: If you look at rampage through bender's original interpretation of trying to mimic big mountain skiing, then semenuk, sorge, and storch nailed it. As someone who follows the freeride world tour as closely as rampage, those three understood the assignment. The rest were mimicking natural selection which is cool too, it just isn't big mountain

 @adrennan: Have you watched the Alaska stop on NST? It literally and metaphorically is bigger mountain than anything FWT has. Don't get me wrong - Bec des Rosses and Verbier and gnarly as hell, but the NST Alaska stop is HUGE mountain

 @adrennan: I'm happy to watch all of it - at the end of the day, it's a bunch of guys sending it in burly terrain. But yeah, semenuk, sorge, and storch had ridiculous runs. Sorge rode that top chute scary fast.

 Was definitely big mountain, but if that's your argument, then Andreu should have won, the line up top having to turn on the steeps not just a straight line was absolutely banana's scariest line out there

 Second

 he doesnt even look like hes going fast enough to hit that gap, then just explodes off the ramp. insane

 Me too - that's coming.....

 Godziek is from Europe and when ha came this year to Zone he tried to find big drop like he had in 2021 but all lines was accuped alreday

 That landing is hanging off the edge

 AGREE!!!! trick of the comp for me for sure. There is an epic photo of it here

 To do this while having kids..

 @Midnightwheelie: Doing this while being in labour would for sure be the most technical and would 100% deserve the win amirite?

 Yeah, no more barspins and tailwhips! We demand sui nohanders, 360's, and backflips!!

 Totally agree, this rampage not crankworks. Everything is gonna start looking generic.

 @Theysayivebeentheone: Generic in your town is very different from generic over here... Win or lose, all of the runs are way more insane than anything I ever come across

 @Theysayivebeentheone: @lalientoxc: What is this, Middle school? Totally unnecessary. And pathetic.

 Lol. "we don't want these tricks! It's too slopestyle and not big mountain enough! We want THOSE tricks that are the real freeride®!!"

 Sweet, I love typos.

 Sure it did. It looked fast as he shot debris all over. Way more aggressive than the rest up there.

 He had in plan make there BF superman seatgrab, but aftre 360 and canyon he didn't want to risk more to blew up this ride. He knew about wind afternoon.
