Rampage Finals Highlights: Red Bull Rampage 2022

[@BgRdDg40]

I don't even care what the judges think. I LOVE rampage. These guys are amazing! I barely even view as a competition. Getting all these guys in one spot at the same time!

[@neightarch]

Exactly, next level

[@conord5043]

Maybe they should drop the point systems. There is just to different of riding styles to even compare and rate these riders on the same scale. Maybe only giving out awards for different achievements is the way to go. It's just to awesome of an event to be ruined by a broken scoring system.

[@GerietCrumm]

@@conord5043 you’re on to something! Make it more about progression of the sport and not a contest

[@0harris0]

i don't think the riders care about the scores :)

[@HAMSTERKILLER666]

Lacondeguy deserved more highlights! His run was definitely underrated

[@just10case]

He’s had number 1 runs more than once I believe 😢

[@user88..]

Exactly, shame on the judges.. next time they better judge fairly and concentrate and not just eat pizza🥲

[@SidiNic]

Yep, thought it was perfect!

[@barnabyjonesdangerdog758]

The riding, the editing, the music..gave me chills. Excellent work.

[@downhill64]

Congrats Pink bike. The filming and editing of this video was next level, nothing short of outstanding. You guys are just killing it. Great job

[@cloudkap]

Exactly what I wanted to say

[@baileybeltramo5737]

"Just pick the bike up and jump" -- Brandon Semenuk. Words to live by.

[@thewebheadgt]

Godziek deserved 1st place for that McGarry tribute canyon jump.

[@cloudkap]

Dude. I have been thinking about that 3 into the flip over the canyon repeatedly

[@GoodTrails]

Sadly this video doesn’t show Brett’s step down tailwhip - but I would say that was the biggest move of the day and the rest of his run was great too. I thought the judging was much better than previous years

[@Biker790]

Tippie is the man. I love his coverage and energy. What an event!

[@record7465]

Yeah, really so!

[@scottpratico1315]

Tipple just keeps getting better at this.

[@Sixty4Fifty7]

Agree as well. Dude is in tune. He puts so much shine on the riders.

[@taylordarion3477]

Judging was horrible yesterday 😢

stunning shots and music choice... KUDOS Pinkbike! I could FEEL every trick... literally had a tear in my eye after Szymon's canyon backflip

[@mtbpaul6122]

Godziak deserves gold for that run

[@TheyForcedMyHandLE]

These highlights edits this years are soooo sick!

[@ashleytombs]

Wow what an amazing event this year Godzike deserves a higher score than a 86 he deserves a 90 just for that 75ft Canyon flip in memory of Kelly I cannot believe Brandon got best trick what is so special about a caveman Sam pilgrim does them in every video near enough however flipping a canyon gap not something you do every day I don’t think even Bender would do that and he’s probably the craziest free rider on the planet

[@conord5043]

It was a massiv caveman in combination with the following super loose and steep downhill on a singlecrown. Not saying the canyon gap wasn't deserving of a price... But you're downplaying an absolutely crazy send.

[@ashleytombs]

@@conord5043 Yeah I’ll give him that but if it was a 30 foot drop then yeah but the 75ft Canyon gap no room for error the consequences you come up short on that you are dead end of the caveman you can probably get away with it give Brendan his dues for doing rampage on a singlecrown I think over the years that will become the norm because Enduro bikes nowadays are just that good but there is nothing like hitting a 60ft + gap on a DH bike I think without rampage And downhill racing you don’t really need a DH bike

[@conord5043]

@@ashleytombs can't argue with that

[@felixghaffar9604]

@@ashleytombs Bro, what the hell are you even talking about? 😂 Of course Bender is not able to do a flip over a canyon. I don’t see why he should be able to do them in the first place. Bender was mainly known for his insane hucks. I even doubt that he is able to do a flip at all. So now to the consequences. You can’t compare the risk of these two. Of course you can come up short on the canyon flip, or over shoot it, but you still land somewhat „safe“. Whereas dropping into the chute with a caveman is made for things going wrong. Of course pilgrim can do them, but in this situation you can‘t slip a pedal. If you miss your handlebar/pedal you are done. Basically freefall all the way to the bottom. For me the most impressive trick & technical trick was reeds backflip drop. This thing was huge and he had almost no lip to initiate the rotation

[@ashleytombs]

@@felixghaffar9604 yeah FairPlay on The Bender part but still he’s probably crazy enough to do it anyway lol and yeah on Brendan yeah you could slip a pedal and then you’re doomed I think Dylan stark just about made the gap I think he did come up a little bit short but made it over just and on reed yeah to be fair that was insane I couldn’t believe it myself to be honest How on earth that never best trick I do not know and the first person To do that trick was Sam pilgrim and big respect for the Long ass reply

[@saturnvi5421]

I get that tail whips are hard on bikes this heavy but that 360 onto the narrow lilly pad straight to the 75 foot flip over the canyon was unreal. Godzieks run would have taken first in any rampage if I were judging.

[@mrb2081]

How the hell didnt Godziek not win?!? Lol, was Rheeders Mom the judge or something?

[@scottpratico1315]

It's like figure skating with serious injuries. Disfigure skating? Judging is subjective and they have criteria to follow. If it were me I'd always go with Laconduguay. He's savage.

[@Bassx1.]

Because rheeder 49ft backflip one food can can drop it right away tailwhip 47ft. more difficult than a backflip in the canyon gap

Make it a 2 day Final next year, then wind will be less of a factor !

[@chriswould]

I wanted to see Brandon do the flip whip. Wonder if he would've if there were second runs.

[@gatord0g]

He did a three downside whip in practice. I’m guessing he was gonna do that and a flip whip in his second run.

[@greenybros]

Where is this location, wanna see this live next year!

[@elmoutabasser]

someone please explain to me, the second Run was canceled because of the wind? Shouldn't we wait any longer for the wind to calm down? the second Run is always crucial, the riders give 100% because it's the last chance, the millions of spectators all over the world and the riders wait a year. in 2009 during a MotoGP race in Qatar, the race was postponed to the next day due to heavy rain, we are talking about MotoGP with its mega logistics.

[@fergusward4714]

I think the wind tends to be more gentle in the morning than the afternoon out there so when they were waiting for their second runs they were waiting for a lull in the wind rather for it to generally die down. I’m just glad that the event was moved forward by an hour so they all got to attempt one run before it got too bad.

[@JoseOjedaMTB]

As much as the event sucked (relative to our Rampage expectations), if the riders knew it was going to be windy, they should have gone all in on their first run, just in case the second run was cancelled because of it.

[@boriscima8134]

@@JoseOjedaMTB ok so who are you to say that. Is that you who put his life on the line , you are probably a wannabe that is proud when he do a three foot drop hahahahah

[@elmoutabasser]

@@JoseOjedaMTB i'm not agree with you, they can't give a 100% of their effort in the first Run because they want to know their limits, they cannot guarantee the result of their Run if they give the max, so they delay and they monitor the results, during the second Run they give their max

[@scottpratico1315]

Pretty amazing stuff any way you slice it. Drive to Utah and go stand in the start gate. Don't forget to bring extra diapers.

This isn't big mountain freeride any more. It's just a slopestyle competition. This was the lamest Rampage yet

[@scotttiner4981]

Same venue, the lines are gnarlier than the old days and the riding has progressed. I don’t see it as a slopestyle event because they build their own lines. To call this stuff lame is ridiculous.

[@conman1395]

@@scotttiner4981 lame for Rampage, yes. Lame objectively, obviously not. The venue is the same used in previous years, but the judging is so heavily based on the tricks without nearly as much regard for the line itself. Hence why it's more of a slopestyle competition. Judging by the rest of the comments, I'm far from alone in this opinion.

[@scotttiner4981]

@@allnoobies1 the difference is the venue. Southern Utah is not a groomed slopestyle course. Also single crown bikes aren’t what they used to be.

[@JerryHazard]

Ditch the judging. Altogether. Maybe do a riders favorite, where competitors pick the winner, like a mini NORA cup thing. I don't understand if you're not participating at contemporary level - how can you effectively judge, regardless of past accomplishments. But I get it, the "there must be a winner" thing is very "America", so... (Even though it's quite an international event). Either way and ultimately props to everyone who put in the work to make it happen and the riders. Always a treat to watch. (Shame on you for not giving a shout to Kyle Strait though. Heal fast man, you're legend 🤘)

[@noah5923]

Dual crown forks only, leave the slopestyle for crankwork.

[@JustJake77]

Unpopular opinion...... This Ramage was less then stellar. Builds felt rushed and the whole bottom of the venue, leading to the coral, felt unfinished.... Which is strange for a venue that is well used. On that note.... Time to find something different for Rampage... The same Utah bluffs are getting tired, move on to somewhere else.... Time for new judges, some of them have been judging for the entirety of the event.... New perspectives are needed... They clearly favor ridge lines, which are basically a flow trail, as opposed to actual mountain riding.... Also this one, I'm gonna get flamed for... Godziek's run was quite boring.... The canyon gap has been done to death... Scoring point on nostalgia isn't progression... Plenty of other runs, that where far superior IMO..... Basically... Time for Rampage as a whole, to restructure if it's to stay relevant, in today's MTB.... Keeping in mind this opinion is coming from a diehard Rampage fan, since the first one.... Rama0ge sucked this year....

[@corbinchristian7915]

Im sick of rampage becoming a slopestyle comp. That canyon gap is what rampage is all about, and godziek should have won. The judges are constantly choking on the spolestyle guys’ meat, and there should be a rule where you have to have a dual crown fork, because who wants to watch little barspins and tailwhips, we have plenty of that, I want to see huge sends and massive drops

[@allnoobies1]

yeeees exactly. Single crown should be forbidden. I dont want to see Slopestyle

[@scottpratico1315]

You could always just watch Hardline. Except another skinny little Canadian just schooled everybody there too. Or you could become the best meat hucker there is and start Benderama Invitational. No pussy single crowns there eh?

[@spencerimre]

Simon Godziek should have won.

[@SeatTime]

Opinion: If a rider can't make it during the dig days, they can't have a dig team digging.

[@bateaumouche7127]

they must organize a 2nd run :((

[@billyruben116]

The drops and gaps are cool, but in general, it looks like it is getting too manicured with perfectly sculptured ramps and runouts..runout... kind of losing its gnar factor. Maybe next year instead giving the riders a week or more with a large crew to prep the area, they limit each rider to a crew of three guys with only shovels and buckets of water over a 24 hour period.

[@sabenyoung4254]

This year is less gnar on purpose so less people would get hospitalized. Only Kyle strait this year, whereas last year to get top 10 you just had to make it down the mountain. And it is way too gnar to get a line done in 24 hours even if the builders work overnight. Brage’s line last year was super raw, and it still took a while to make.

[@sabenyoung4254]

Also they currently only get 2 diggers each.

[@billyruben116]

Still looks more like a slopestyle course with all kinds of prep work and runouts on groomed trails. Not what I would expect from where this started out. And as far risking injury, that is whole point, otherwise just jump out out of plane with your bike and flip around in the air like those skydivers used to do and then pull your chute when you get close to the ground. Yay ---- not.

[@LukaszRogowiczYamaortodks]

I don't know where evaluators have been taken from for years. But probably from a round-up at a gas station. As every year, a terrible inconsistency in the assessment. And with this wind it is also quite an exaggeration. Swinguit guys somehow had no problems with it. And the more so because when the guys definitely gave up, it was practically not windy. More "journalists" talking and fucking the same thing over and over again than driving.
