@cpeper21: Randy is the next gen rider that Rampage refuses to acknowledge. He makes Bender look like Batty! A friend of my cousin's saw him las summer and he was just sendin it!!!
Brendog's rock looks like the most technically difficult section (but so hard to tell from pictures). But in terms of being scared, i'm most scared for Silva, he is taking huge crashes in practice without tricks, and i think has mentally committed to doing big tricks in his run, not sure it is a good idea. Reminds me a Connor MacFarlane a few years back, after a certain point I was hoping he wouldn't keep taking runs...
Probably not much after the first or second concussion in a weekend. Looking at that POV footage of silva, it's hard to imagine that he did not concuss himself. Scary when they are allowed to compete a day or two after and risk the compounding effects.
@topherdagopher: Adolf had one crash in practice and it was because he came up a few inches short on a drop. It happens. Almost every rider will crash in practice, some worse than others yea, but its part of the game. Connor is a different story, he built potentially a winning line but it was almost unridable and it showed, but he kept trying. Making one small mistake compared to huge ones and then repeating it over and over is a different story.
a double flip off that drop would certainly be MTB history in my books.. even just a single flip off that drop must be approaching the size of Cam's world record from flip.
@northshoreshred: to me itd be the single biggest move ever landed on a mtb. Isnt it like a 72 ft drop? I mean wtf. I thought he meant he was gonna pull a double on some random kicker or something until i watched the outside the tape video where he said it was off the big daddy.
PhotoJohn is awesome. He took me out on a short ride in Draper, UT to show me those fine trails a couple weeks ago. Awesome dude and amazing photographer!
Def always kind of scary like you want to see people land these massive hits but don’t want to have to see someone break their back, part of the sport I guess
Are you implying Randy comes from Greece? Maybe Sparta? Randy Medias: great great great grandson of King of Sparta who kicked a Saudi prince in a pit. makes sense.
Drynk I cant comment really. Holy fk what yshould I say. 26for liqe
Hard to imagine what goes through their heads.
Especially Bizet
