[@dannybeck4339]

Btw the rawness of this podcast and the flogs, without all the clever edited has us feeling like its more real. Love this pump and dump 😂

[@ashpunting]

😂when are the let's go, T-shirts coming out Brandon's scared og heights I was scared watching you digging up there do you thing you'll be ready for the 13th thanks Brendon for the digging holiday 🤣😁😅pure class

[@letsride4653]

Pump Dumps and Flowage.. Let's Go!

[@underbikedoverconfident1142]

Let's goooo! Pump and dump time, baby!

[@amoxdnb]

FLOWAGE!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@fredhickpt]

Hey boys, loving the vlogs, bring the rampage home to Surrey hills. Here's some questions for you 1. Where and which is your favourite ever mountain bike trail/run? 2. Question for olly, you are known for being a quick rider, have you ever raced professionally? 3. How important would you say fitness is when racing? Do you train your fitness specifically other than just riding your mtb on some downhill trails? 4. Question for Ben, do you miss the army?

[@sholehan]

Brendan 'I'd be scared of heights if I walked on the roof of my house... So I rode my bike on the roof of my house' 😂

[@richelliott1337]

The raw cut is what makes this so good, you lads are doing what good mates do, having an adventure and a good laugh. QUESTIONS - BrenDog - is there a point when you would say no to one of the features? Deaks - your riding has improved so much, how many hours a week are you on the bike, and have your mates given you any coaching? Olly - Is all your family as funny as you?

[@markfitzurka9995]

You got me turning on my notification’s. I have not ever done that for such a simple podcast. I guess I need to search out your other videos. You guys are funny. Just so you guys know the stars and bars is referring to the confederate flag. That in most cases is considered as a symbol racism. The American flag are the Stars and Stripes. Maybe in Utah you might see a stars and bars flag but don’t confuse the two. Oh and by the way LETS GO!!!!!!

[@LRBorrill]

A Q for Bren. The Brendog Gap is a 60ft Canyon jump the largest in Redbull Rampage history but is it as large as Olly's forehead? Loving your work on your digging holiday, get a freezer box of Ice cream and beer in your truck for the ride back to the hotel LETS GO!!

[@nigelfox6683]

Love the little hysterical “flowage” at the end 😂😂😂

[@Lylisuvanto]

I'm the guy that wrote about the sound in only one channel, just wanted to clarify that it wasn't a complaint! Soo glad for all the content for you boys put out, and really build up the rampage buzz! Best week of the year!

[@bbuell80455]

Y’all make the undertaking of Rampage seem like a boys holiday out, love the vibe and having a UK crew cruising around America is good fun. Stoked to see the final product and for Brendog to do his thing, much respect!

[@CookieCogz]

Love the crack between you guys. I couldn't wait for this vid. 🤙

[@brynncarlile05]

From Aus, travelling in Europe, great to watch these every night with dinner, let’s goooo

[@alexbickham9715]

Quick question. Oli mentioned in an earlier drivetime vid that deaks had ‘bin headed’ him once already. Can we get an update on any recent bin head antics…?

[@threephase33]

Top of the morning to you gents. Question time!! How does Lowes compare to B&Q?

[@GaryB1980]

This is class keep up the flowage

[@SuperDoomed1]

Hey boys keep up the good work! Is there a limit on diggers? I noticed some riders like strait seem to have any army of support!? Surely that’s not fair! Plus he clearly digs Naf all big up Brendog! Respect go hard or go home boys!! ✌️ can’t wait for episode 5 and the main event on Friday!!! Xx

[@bongerrazo1]

keep it real, lovin the rawness of the drive vlogs. LETTTTTTSGOOO!

[@JustTex]

Thanks for asking my question and cheers 4 sharing this with us all sir.

[@joshtaylor6188]

The pump n dump content is great. Look forward to getting home from work and watching what you've been up to each day

[@montyburns9741]

I dont care about the quality of vids. Happy to see as much as you can provide. Good luck boys

[@OnzieGaming]

Lets gooo!! Really stoked to see how the line is coming together. Gonna be crazy seeing Brendan fly over that canyon, cause since it's so long it's no longer jumping :D

[@slater888888]

Loving the effort to keep us included in your day and your friendship bants.

[@AlastairReidBigredal]

Question - Given Brendog got injured and missed a year or two of Rampage, how did he get back his spot? Also loving this three-way. Possiblt more entertaining than the riding and digging videos.

[@JabRok86]

Does there need to be a change of venue to get more of a free ride element back to rampage or is free ride too subjective to judge properly?

[@customtobi576]

Keep that vlogs, videos, podcasts as raw as they are. Thats how we like em. 👍🏼

[@sandy_knight]

I commented about the mono audio a couple of videos ago but it was just a suggestion, not a complaint. I fully appreciate the extra effort that goes into these videos and I'm sure at the end of a hard day's digging spending another hour concentrating on a screen is the last thing you want to do. Cheers for the hard work... 👍 I also have a question, when you're riding in the USA do you wear your bullet proof vest under or on top of your body armour? 😜

[@justinmadair]

Love all the content you three are pumping and dumping right now. It's also cool that what Olly is doing here is a different format! Really adds to it all. Here's a question: Was the idea to do one vlog podcast style a decision made on the fly, or did you sit down beforehand and think about how each of you could uniquely share your combined experiences? If not, would you consider it for next time?

[@stuartlawrence4409]

Question - What have you broken so far...tools, promises, goals, other things? Supporting you through Rampage, thank for the videos and insights Olly, Brendog, Deaks

[@skiingisabitshit2560]

Feeling the man love between you 3…..so good to see some behind the scenes of Rampage!! I’m looking to head out for my 50th in 2025…..what advice would you give for anyone heading over from UK to spectate? LET’S GOOOOOO!

[@jahardin77]

Question: Have you seen a rattle snake during the dig yet??? -- Love the effort gents!

[@TimInertiatic]

If you had the opportunity, would you make any changes to rampage rules or judging guidelines?

[@MS-watch-YT]

Loving these videos. Question for you - seems like Red Bull have put a lot of coverage on Brendog, Gee and Szymon’s features and yet when it comes to scoring, in recent years it’s been slopestyle orientated runs which have won. What’s Brendogs opinion on the direction and scoring of the event?

[@Blondie5791]

Thanks guys. Loving the vlog. Keep up the good work 👍 Much more interesting than anything the UCI puts out. Also very relatable, as many of us drive to biking destinations ( obviously not as crazy as rampage etc😂) with our mates in a vehicle to go mtbing. Oh yeah, Let's GO!

[@stormrider22]

You guys are awesome. Let’s go!

[@bartandhisbike4147]

This is a lot of fun to watch. Let's go

[@Kenny-Somafunk]

Question : How do you get insurance to cover the "possible" medical bills

[@robertbeard2078]

If you had to swap riders who would you two chose to dig for or for Bren if you had to steal someone else’s dig crew who’s would you steal and why?

[@davidsansolivella5208]

Keep on keeping on lads! Vlogs are authentic!

[@jonlawson4374]

Brendan….Did you or either of the guys ask why you didn’t score higher than you did in 2019? I was there! Best ride that year by far!! How does this line compare to 2019? Go big or go home. Pulling for you three! Best attitude, team and rider there!!

[@adrianclifford2545]

What I'd like to know is which one of you is most likely to punch someone when given a salad to eat after a hard day filming...I mean digging? Just realised that the question might lower the tone, so a different question. After a week of hard work at Rampage, what would each of your favourite meals be?

[@barnyrockford]

I'm gonna ask the same question over and over and see if it gets your attention "LETS GOOOOOO". Q: Does your line choice incorporate a points mentality? Would you add a feature that you think ticks some sort of scoring chart for the judges? Or do you build from a purely Brendog's Autumn Style and Steez Catalogue? ie What you want to do... even if it might score lower? Its soooo hard to compare lines and tricks and flow and creative trail building expression from footage. You boyz are making my very testing year a lot more bearable. Massive Love. GOOOOOOOOOoooo

[@George-of8ib]

😂 what a bunch of plonkers!! You boys represent us so well. ENGERLAND!!

[@awtyhrh]

In many ways the pump and dump vlogs are better as theyre more real and honest

[@mogwaikid]

Is the crew staying in Utah one more day to catch the eclipse?? Happy trails boys!!

[@howlsy6388]

Question for Brendog: do you have a process to overcome any fear on a new feature? Best wishes from Newcastle upon Tyne back in Blighty dudes 🤙🏻🤙🏻

[@tobyehillier]

Anything worth watching is worth watching because of the characters involved and you're all having a blast and being authentic. I've seen more well produced and edited stuff over the last few days that is just absolute pants

[@dannybeck4339]

QUESTION: BK mentioned he wants in and is chanting in the pits "BK Rampage 24". Do you think he will get an invite and would he be a good rider for this event?

[@cjprimrose]

Brendan, if you couldn't ride your line and you had to pick someone else's, who's would you choose and why?

[@danbikington4454]

For me, this is way funnier than any individual vids from you lot do, I enjoy this more it’s like 3 for the price of 1 😂

[@Coolcmsc]

So my question’s about your house roof giving you the willies Bren. How did you feel when you rampaged up onto it and then along the ridge line? 🎉🎉🎉

[@creelick_foto]

Absolute Class lads, love the pod!

[@J_money193]

Lets keep the awsome content coming boys.

[@dirt-diaries]

Deaks mic control, on point! Let's go!

[@zomB-riders]

QUESTION for Bren, my other half wants to know if your better half watches the live broadcast or just ignores what you're doing and pretends you're just on a stag do again with the same two idiots! So sick to race alongside you and Deaks at Rogate last year and then get to see you at such a World renowned event. You're my lads fave rider. Good luck boys x

[@gtruckus07]

Is everyone chill on the hill, or do you ever get heated confrontation?

[@justgarethsphone9663]

LETS GOOOOOO Actually I wanted to ask, What’s your perfect Sunday?

[@JamesRobertMTB]

What is the magic number of full runs of your line before finals? Or is some of it left till finals?

[@CHMTB-IRL]

This is an amazing concept for videos and works so well cuz you guys are friends so the convo flows well af. Question: how does bren get in to the headspace to hit these mad features and what if you feel you don’t have speed on day, do you just have to pull out (lol)

[@mikerhodes6927]

Yes bolts eventually snap, but rocks crumble and erode, especially when you spend 5 days digging them up…???? Discuss..

[@customtobi576]

let‘s goooo! 😉

[@karlbarber1036]

Great content lads, what are each of your plans for the few days after Rampage? That's not me asking for a date 😂😂😂

[@FlyingMeta]

QUESTIONS Brendog, is a tester run in possible to gauge speed for the canyon or will it be fullsend first go? Also backflip or superman for that one? Deaks, is Gees drop as big as dropping from Watchmoor viewpoint down to the fence? Olly if you had to pick one, either do a run down rampage or play a whole season of disc golf? 🤣

[@eezyteezy]

how do you feel about the 2-run scoring format?

[@justaride1474]

I am so digging the updates here bro. (Pun tastic) Question! In your cutlery draw at home what is your format? Left to right. It should be spoons then forks and knives on the right.

[@robwilliams5165]

I'm Shure nivia will be on the the blower to make up the short fall

[@thebeardedman-drenaline5546]

Loving the content dump! Dont change a thing🤙 QUESTION: Brendog, when you do these insane features for the first time, how do you stay in a good head space to drop in and actually send it? What's your method man?😎

[@shaunbakewell702]

Loving the musical chair podcast, keep up all the good work lads. Quick question, are you all going to have a relaxing bike holiday together after all this hardwork 😊

[@MTB4loamer]

Let's Gooo

[@eezyteezy]

do you guys think the amount of build time and practice time is sufficient?

[@donriley6735]

#Letsgoooooooo

[@Cheapsh0t247]

Definitely Top Gear like, especially with the labels still on the rampage hats, lets go chaps

[@BrianShiba-lm7jq]

Digging dogs! Let’s gooo…!!!🫶🏼🤙

[@texlish7467]

Question time: Bren. What motivated your return to Rampage ? Olly. Are you and deaks going to do one of your budget weekends away camping in the Hobbit hauler ? Deaks. Do you have a special foot care and moisturising routine you use to keep them photo ready while in the desert?

[@xavier_mtb]

Love the content

[@Shedtune_Russ]

QUESTION: Out of the 3 of u, who has worn the bin the most so far? Lets GOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[@philipB31]

Here’s one: why can’t I buy the TLD Rampage static earth boonie hat in the UK? …and while we’re on it Olly, why haven’t you done a “I’m fine dude” t-shirt yet? On a better note, you may well be working on the best Rampage line ever, great work guys.

[@dannybeck4339]

Yeah i second that... i want a T with "im fine dude" and Ollys little head peeping up from behind that burn 😂😂😂😂

[@barnyrockford]

Q: Do you build your line to score points? Or do you just wanna express yourselves and watch Bren send it and who gives a *&^% about the prize money?

[@ryanvenn7595]

QUESTIONS!!! 🤘🤘🤘 Question for Bren- what is your mental preparation before dropping in on a rampage run? Question for Olly- do you enjoy course design and digging? Question for Deeks-how did you get roped into being part of the dig crew the 1st time round? 😂 Love the vlogs lads😂😂😂 IDEA- maybe Bren could shout “LETS GO” or “Oi Oi” at the start or the end of his run! Good luck Dude

[@darrenbailey7685]

Perhaps you could start a small crowd finder and all monies raised must be spent on viewer chosen purchases! Loving the updates - great insight

[@bensmithers]

For the record, I’ve never done coke with Gee😂

[@dub_rider]

Question for Bren and Odub, what are your work tools of choice on site? Would ask Deakes but we know he's a rake lover :) keep up the great work guys all three of you are smashing it!!! Lets gooo!!!!

[@Butleybadboy]

How much does you rig cost for rampage ?? Great vlog keep pumping and dumping 😂

[@Antjan46]

Enjoying all the updates from you lot! Entertainment at its finest! #question What’s the max amount of diggers allowed per team? It seems the amount of work required is massive for just 3 guys! We have similar terrain here in the Middle East and it’s a nightmare to dig in! Good job! Best of luck with the event, we can’t wait! 🤘🏽😉

[@coldshoulder3753]

Yeah, boys, Odub what did it smell like on the inside of that bin? Ha ha ha.

[@paulnorthe4113]

QUESTION: Brendog how does this years line compare to years past is it more gnarlier? Odub does your digging from jump bikes help here? Deaks what’s harder the army or putting up with those 2 Legions. LETS GO!!!

[@Fantic156]

If you need to share with anyone then Gee and Godziek are probably who you want to share with ... BUT .. did they do their share of diggin' and workload, or just buy you lunch ?? Brendog, scared of heights, says the guy that tried to jump his house, crashed, so built a ramp to ride over it!! Maybe scared but balls of steel to get it done! For Brendog, do you slack off the workload towards the finish so you're a bit fresher ready for the actual Rampage run? Gotta say you're doing brill, if results comes from workload and fun, you don't need to run it, you've won already!! 😜

[@chriswhite5537]

My question is ..who is the fastest out the 3 of you at downing a pint and how long does it take you to down it ...if you don't know we need to see you all race😂

[@davemcbeard]

Olly Wilkins has major Richard Hammond vibes! I'm not sure who's more like James May, Deak's is easily miserable enough. Keep up the great work lads 👍

[@mick-traildazed]

FLOWAGE! Q: Bren, how long before show day do you get to practice? When will you down tools and concentrate on the run? All dudes…. this is really entertaining and mega to watch. I know it’s a hard slog but keep the vlogs coming. Stay safe 🤟

[@dagga9261]

Looking good lads bring the gold home brendog and Well done boys I know the videos and pictures don’t do It justice but LETS GO!!! What happened brendog? I’m waiting for the next pump and dump all pump and no dump hahaha!! Lads what’s the worst thing about building there apart from the heights? LETS GO!!!!!

[@burbageadmtb3746]

Questions… 1) How many times will Brendan roll up to the canyon gap before sending it for the first time? 2) Is there a chance it won’t be ridden due to its disgusting proportions? 3) Is Rampage in the same spot every year, and if so are all the previous years features still rideable or do they get worn away by the weather in the course of the year between events. 4) LETS GOOO!!!

[@SevenTwo7even]

Question: who has had the most desert poos? I’d like to have a poo off of a cliff in the desert 💩 🏜️

[@86danjones]

That hat on Brendan got me wondering, any relation to Worzel Gummidge?

[@E_p23-q7s]

What tricks is Brendog planning to do? Also love the vids boys 😤

[@DonovanBuck]

Question: Apart from y'alls line (which is scary AF), what are the gnarliest features you see others working on?

[@elvislad]

"Pump and Dump'

[@DaveDaveson]

Out of all the other riders, who is the biggest shovel dodger?
