I've felt that the freeride part of Rampage has gotten watered down in recent years in favor of slopestyle (likely thanks to the scoring criteria) but this is the gnarliest line in Rampage history and will probably remain so for years. We'll all be watching this run 10 years from now.

[@hiroyopoetker]

Spot on Bro

[@daveypizza]

Amazing run. A 100 foot (traveling) corked backflip will beat out anything sorry not sorry. Also I will say the caveman was not the most impressive move on camera, but wow that’s got to be insanely high consequence when you do it off a 150 foot near cliff face

[@DaveDaveson]

come up short on that canyon after a run in off a cliff face that isnt even continuous @@daveypizza I dare you. Hell if you want flip tricks where the fuck was bienve's score? Lots of people can flip, even me, but very few can fronty let alone over a canyon.

[@spencerpearson6250]

a back flip is arguably one of the easier tricks for them to do. Ask him to do a no hander down that and see what happens. Not saying Cams drop wasn't impressive, but to say that Brens gap (where the entry is near vertical, onto a lily pad, and then onto a 2ft wide jump over with a no hander over one of the biggest, tallest gaps in rampage history) isn't worthy of a podium is crazy. Also, Bren rode the battleship, which is insane on it's own. Cams backflip didn't deserve first. Sorry not sorry. @@daveypizza

[@lphtahoe]

@@daveypizza he backflipped that same hit 10 years ago. Not exactly progression.

[@mrallmine150]

SICK RUN!!! Totally screwed by the judges….as was Bienve…Brendog was the clear winner!!!!

[@notetrail3826]

Gnarly line for sure but I think bienve should have taken the dub

[@BFBMTb]

Biene's had nice tricks but brendogs line was the most freeride. The others I felt had more slopestyle type of lines. Cam upper line was pretty freeride as well.

[@notetrail3826]

yeah fs. i think if bienve hit the battleship this whole rampage would be so different

[@ThatsMistaTwistToYou]

I hope Brendog knows how sick the stuff he does is to everyone. That gap better get named after him or something. Battleship to that gnarly chute to a skipper to that gap? Insane!

yeah - how Brendog didn't place higher is just unfathomable....insane line and an insane run!!!

[@bubbastard]

He’s not friends with the judges

[@KS-nm6rt]

because he's ranked low, so none of the first guys could ever wish for a 90. It's impossible and that's what's wrong with Rampage.. Judges thinking it's a street bmx contest jeeez..

[@brumm121]

This is one of two parts of 2023 rampage that will be watched for the next 10 years… the other is the front flip over the canyon gap… if that’s not enough to say the judges failed rampage this yeah I dunno what will be. This run was life or death almost the whole way, bring back the real rampage!

[@-TheRealChris]

100%

[@deividas_kimontas]

Brendan Fairclough's run was absolutely INSANE! 🔥 He deserves a podium place for sure!

[@SouthernLandRiders]

He was robbed. Absolutely insane run. The judges screwed up a awesome day.

[@hiroyopoetker]

This happens every year! The early rider goes gets a lower score then others judge over an awesome line and for a rider who is know for DH he slayed his line!

[@elliotwilliams7421]

I feel they do it on purpose. Pretty sure they know who's has won before a tire hits the dirt. Genuinely dull event now.

[@ThirdEye710]

It does not feel exciting anymore.@@elliotwilliams7421

[@sullenpuffin]

Watched this live on my phone, dropped it when Bren sui’ed the gap! Best run I’ve ever seen. Those judges should be banned from judging events that their mates are taking part in.

[@bjorntoulouse9080]

Not even a podium spot for that amazing riding. Yankee judges gave it to their mate fist bumping each other while they did it. Sack off the judges and let the riders vote instead.

[@dhmental]

It was ok. Cams drop was way bigger and he backflipped it.

[@Superteastain]

💯

[@Ericxnugz]

The judges only want Americans to win

[@spencerpearson6250]

Bren rode the battle ship + one of the gnarliest gaps with an even crazier entry. Cams run was good, but not even close in terms of how crazy the run was. @@dhmental

[@lphtahoe]

@@dhmentalhe backflipped that hit 10 years ago!

[@Kevin_Aus]

This was the most incredible line !! Absolutely bonkers. Forging your OWN path in the true spirit of rampage

[@jokermtb]

True freeride insanity The ride of a lifetime! He didn't need a second run! Stunning! and literally breathtaking

[@ThunderStruckMTB]

BEST FREAKIN' RUN OF THE DAY!! Bren Dog you are the man and I'm so glad you didn't do a 2nd run to chase some stupid ass points given by stupid ass people. Such a sick line brother and riding along with you in this video was actually terrifying! Simply amazing that you did that.

[@erod6468]

Second best after Bienve. 🤘🏽

[@nickthaskater]

I hope he sees all the love the fans are giving him. He rode perfectly and raised the game to a whole new level.

[@zacharymendez2849]

That run brought tears to my eyes. What a freakin beast!!!! Those screams of joy is what it’s all about, I wish everyone that has a passion will make all your worries and time stop for that one moment.

[@kate-birdsommer8139]

I was tearing up myself. Clapping and responding to his joyous bursts of shout-outs. Wish I could hug you. Hey, teammates, could you hug him for me. Thanks so awesome!!!!

[@benoosthuizen4961]

Incredible run !! Think those were screams of joy and relief… terrifying, literally on the edge between life and death !! 🫣🤪

[@stevecox1869]

Screwed by biased American judge’s voting for there mates. Brendogs run was by far the sickest run of the day, more risk, more exposure and that was just the battleship, let alone what came after… hold your head high Brendan you are the people’s winner

[@RockyPondProductions]

I don't think it has anything to do with nationally. These guys are all fans of eachother (for the most part). It does however have to do with the fact that flippy whips and the like look "better" for red bull marketing. It is much less about the big mountain lines now. That's why you see the big mountain guys doing risky lines, they need to keep up with the slope guys. Definitely not the right direction for the event

[@kaktusbert2288]

@@RockyPondProductions i mean you could see them celebrating cams run

[@bigshnitzeljesse]

How do you know judges were American?

[@bikesnblades6737]

This is the ultimate rampage run. Any future runs will have to measure up to this. It is the quintessence of what this event is all about and it has been executed flawlessly. And it did not score a podium. Let that sink in.

[@peterdelaney-cn9td]

He should have won with that line alone. It was literally life or death. Fearless GOAT.

[@TREVONBACH]

thank you olly bren deaks. your coverage was great and the line was SMOOTH. yeah we have a sorry heart but you made it out unscathed with an experience most cant even dream of. sad you basically did it for free.

[@charlielynes]

2nd that... thoroughly entertained, occasionally scared, and most definitely mind-blown... 🤯

[@timetherington-judge3719]

My favourite run by far!

[@dazmos_65]

Scariest line with one of the best runs & most professional dig teams to make it all work. Deep down a LOT of us know who really should've been up there!

[@JustJake77]

Everyone keep commenting and liking this video for the algorithm!!! The World needs to see how badass Brendog is!

Cannot believe no podium. That’s a few years now he hasn’t gotten the respect he deserves for absolutely SENDING it! Go Brendog!!

I thought this dude deserved the win just seeing it from the rampage perspective, seeing this from first person blew my mind, how did this man not take the win?!

[@Fantaman058]

Huge mistake from the judges how this is not a 1st or 2nd place run, this line is so crazy & insane this will be 1 of the best if not THE best rampage run i have ever seen.

[@howlsy6388]

How tf did that run not even podium! He’s the only rider who did a clean run including the battleship!! Absolute shocker from the judges imo

[@exhibitD79]

He deserves a podium for that. Probably second. That run was epic.

They couldn't even hide that the judges were jumping of happiness with Zink back flip, kind of a pool...

This probably should have won. But to me Rampage is not about the judging. Its about all of the riders and their incredible skills and lines. This run was insane!!!

[@bermchasin]

This was absolute INSANITY.... he really deserves more credit.

[@Bluhawaii]

Speed, technique, with the right amount of craziness jumps the canyon leaving the handlebars, 2 back flips with the best line (in my opinion) of the "Rampage" and only comes in fourth place ?? But what did they want to see, they wanted a double back flip in the canyon ??

[@amir_mtb]

Rampage POVs NEVER get old!! Go Brendog!!!

[@azzygreg]

Used to be about the gnarliest lines! Evolved into another crankworx event.

[@philipwalsh2567]

Gnarliest and most original line.

[@bastip160]

That’s freeriding! Period! Don’t wanna take anything away from Zink. Gnarly run. But winning with a line etc that basically 10 years old baffles me. Brendon’s line was exactly what this event is all about… at least that’s what I thought.
