Should Brandon Semenuk Have Won Red Bull Rampage? | Dirt Shed Show 501

[@gmbn]

Did you watch Red Bull Rampage? If so did you watch it live?

[@sikkness]

Watched the first round of runs of the men's finals, incredible to watch! But man was I anxious about them crashing, that mountain was gnarly as hell.

[@emonty62]

yes, watched it live, breath taking entertainment

[@speedymadr6]

Yep and the last time I will watch it live, unless they change the way it is judged and the judges themselves. That score was a massive insult to Brendog, might not have been a winning run but to score lower than Strait, come on get a grip. No doubt Berrecloth will issue another patronising video to try and justify their existence.

[@KuroSanArts]

Easy fix, make a rule that only a certain % of the run can be artificially made. I watched live as far as Bren's run and then rage quit, that score was bordering on insulting considering someone who fell off still got a better score!

[@bennyrohaus108]

Yeah I watched it live banged up recovering from shoulder surgery. Brendog had a true Rampage run and should have won it. I was surprised to see the big “ Mandatory” lines? Not sure. Agree though, impressive laps from all!

[@frontierfishingwithRyanMacD]

When I saw Brendog got #11 I couldn't believe it!! His ride was impeccable!!

[@madgreenpea]

Right! His was the most unique run. I thought it was going to be like Natural Selection (Snowboarding) freeriding style runs, but it was judged more like slope style.

[@mojo3398]

That was just a mix up. Brendon/Brandon gets easily confused. Brendog did actually #1.

[@DaNxFaM]

Watching live to be placed 7th with 76 was disgusting

[@apersonontheinternet8034]

Darren Barrelcloth has some kind of personal vendetta against Bren, so he can never get above 3rd (that would give him a better ranking). They deliberately gave him a ridiculously low score so he hisn't auto-selected next year (and likely wouldn't bother coming now even if he did get invited).

[@bruce.KAY-bike-drifter]

I complained directly to Red Bull immediately after the 76.0 score flashed on the screen live. It was immediately obvious that Brendan's Monster sponsorship played a part in the scoring. From then on. as the streaming coverage proceeded you could tell that the scoring team were attempting to minimise their huge mistake.

[@the_spanner_ch7mp]

Brendogs line was in the true spirit of Rampage and he should have won His lines have always been FREERIDE lines The judges marked him down for making it look too EASY !!! 😮 Rampage needs to go back to its roots as gnarly FREERIDE event with dual crown forks only allowed. Great show Martyn and Owen 🤓😉

[@ericm8811]

Hey GMBN Dirt Shed Show! Monster energy should start a freeride event that has riders and dig teams build true freeride not slopestyle lines in utah and forget the judges! Instead go with the Darkfest and Nines format where all the competitors vote on who's run was best. Greetings from the north shore mountains of Vancouver British Columbia Canada !

[@dito_blabla]

Semenuk for life but not for the win. He also expressed it through his humility. For me Godziek deserves it.

[@martynashtonGMBN]

Yep, he handled it well. I’m by no means suggesting what Brandon put together was incredible. So good. The point isn’t that, the point is they didn’t reward a fellow rider with comparable marks - when it was deserved.

[@tyrellcobb4665]

Godziek was great but Semenuk was clean. He pulled off some huge tricks on a gnarly line with very low margin for error. That said I hope Godziek wins the next one. He's about due one now.

[@ROSE-by5su]

​@tyrellcobb4665 people just don't understand how Semenuk executed his run, Also some riders has dead space in their run the point was Semenuk has flow feature to another feature he keeps throwing punches compared to others who throw punch and wait again to throw another one.

[@brandonmcauslan]

Brendog was not just robbed but also insulted with the score he got… The social element makes the day. Watching Olly W Brendog and Ben Deakin build that line gave everyone an investment in Brendan’s run. Any of the other riders could have done the same.

Semenuk is obviously an incredible rider and a legend but even he said "wow wasn't expecting that.." when he got first place. They need to switch some of these judges out. Last year big tricks and exposed lines were explained as Cam Zinks win, this year it's tighter technical tricks that apparently is how you win. Sucks for Godziek, Fairclough, and TVS. Besides the judges it was an incredible event overall!!

[@cameroncraig829]

I love Rampage. Watch every year. Couldn’t catch it live this year. Watched the Full Replay on KZbin on Sunday. I thought Brendan and Tom Van Steenbergen got absolutely robbed.

[@outdoorsandiego]

Watching the digging, the prep work, and the run testing actually added value to the event for me. I think it helps to really appreciate how much work goes into the lines, and how insane every run is. Watched it on KZbin that evening. There were a couple of watch parties in OC and SD at bike shops. I think the judges have been vilified way too much. The problem is the scoring system. Zero reward for creativity, originality, or insanely technical riding. 100% for slopestyle tricks. The top 4 put down insane trick runs. 11th place had the best free ride line.

[@workhorsemtb7075]

Well said

[@scottypotty3]

Completely agree. I couldn't believe it when I saw 76.

[@mikedamisch]

If you're doing a "freeride" contest, how hard the line is should always be the no1 scoring category. Tricks should matter only as a divider for riders with lines that are judged score the same. Meaning, ofcourse tricks should score better than straight airs BUT the line should always be the most important factor. If not the riders should just team up and build a big air slopestyle run down the mountain and see who does the hardest tricks, right?

[@darrenwright6713]

The people spoke.... Bren won. Not only Bren but Olly and Deaks too.

[@anyssen]

Watched live, at some point a bit boring waiting for the wind to setlle, but it´s always amaizing what these guys can do...

[@HedoBum]

Brendog was definitely the winner. I could see right away that the judges weren't going to see it that way....they were looking for flashy slopestyle runs. You could see from the points where they were judging rider for rider on a split screen. How do you judge freeride on a split screen??? Brendon also took the most monstrous jump upside down. Who else did that?

[@kenable]

I was there, in person watching it live...from 6:30am to 6:30pm. Long day, but totally awesome! If the criteria for Rampage wins have changed, then that should be clearly communicated to everyone so that at least they are all on the same page as to what the judges are looking for.

[@thecodfather4425]

Bren Dog won that with what he did it was so clean and a Mad line.

[@markpeterson8978]

In my opinion Brendog won. Red bull Rampage has turned into a slope style contest due to $ and safety. I can understand reasons why they might have done this but I want a true Free Ride contest again. The only way this can truly happen is to switch to a completely new location and have the event judged by the people. You boys are spot on. Great show and lets do something to bring Rampage Free Ride Back! Cheers - M

[@DjDolHaus86]

Watched it live. Godzi's run was the winner for me as it had a good mix of everything. Brendog was robbed on his score though, definitely podium worthy. How Semanuk's crew won the diggers award is beyond me, that was the biggest robbery of all

[@martynashtonGMBN]

I agree that Godziak’s run was immense. I don’t think I’d be happy with anything other than the win for Brendon though. He optimised the ethos of that event’s history, the very definition of why they go to that place, and bother building anything. It was a win, that’s all. Godzi was a super, super though!

[@DjDolHaus86]

@@martynashtonGMBN I don't disagree, it was the most freeride run of the lot but based on what the event has become, godzi's run ticked the most boxes. Semanuks was a 10/10 slopestyle run but godzi's had that extra bit of amplitude that screams rampage. I kind of hope Monster takes matters into their own hands and hosts the event that Rampage was always supposed to be

[@Davethecanadianful]

Brandon deserves the win. Would like to see the rule book for the judges.

[@cornishcactus]

New Rampage rules. New part of the mountain range every year. 1 week to scope and dig your line. No sharing lines other than entry and exit areas. Points for dig, tech, difficulty, control and style, including a few points for feature transition tricks. I' rather see someone somehow get down a gully in control than double backflip off a park jump. Viewer online voting is a % of the overall score. You're selling brands, connect with people, get engagement, it's what the sponsors want. I think Deak said once a bloke with a gob is going to get more views than a race winner. Gonna big up the local lad Tom, even if Liskeard is more or less England, his gully was raw AF! and totally in control, loved it. Great to see his come back from a pause boss the canyon and better than in practice. Kudos for not risking a 2nd run just for those twunts in the booth and a few crumbs of points.

[@gogofastful]

Lol, there's not enough time or real estate for everyone to have separate lines and still start and finish on the same place, but nice try.

[@cornishcactus]

​​@@gogofastfulHave a Google of the competition area even as it is, vast and most of the bikepark riders were more or less taking the straight line down. Only Brendon went near the edge of it. The whole Messa is vast to pick new areas each time.

[@dazmtb]

Brendog should have won Rampage hands down due to his line choice which was truly the sketchiest line out of them all. His precision riding landing on the top of rocks to a stand still and then his steep drop line was epic! The judges completely ignored what this is all about and have made a mockery of the whole event and need sacking for their incompetence on marking. Brendog won this event just ask the people who are the real judges in this case.

Started live then watched the rest later on Red Bull TV. Red Bull is not stupid, they know what gets eye balls on all this advertising, high risk tricks on high risk terrain. Go back over the past years and find the first rider that threw some insane unexpected trick and you will find where it started to change. Others have said there needs to be clearer scoring and criteria and that all first round scores should be held till they all finish to better rank them then have second round live scoring, I agree to both. Respect to Brendan for doing his line his way.

I watched the replay, not live. I'm in the US. I think Red Bull did get the coverage much better this year because of live drone shots, cameras up on the mountain etc, instead of TV cameras down at the bottom and helicopter shots only. If Red Bull wants it to be a slopestyle event just brand it as such just like Hardline is an extreme downhill event Rampage is an extreme slopestyle event. If it is a freeride event then why did Brendog get such a low score this year. I was pretty happy to hear the crowd boo on the replay because it shows what the actual fans onsite thought about such a crap score. He did have the most freeride line. Like you pointed out, every run was sick! All of the competitors nailed it. I was dumbfounded at the size of the cajones of some of the guys hurling themselves off the side of a mountain like that.

Points should be decided for every section shared so you’re actually rewarded for creating a unique line with your dig crew!!! Personally i actually preferred Brendogs run last year as that knife edge run where he jumps from one bit to another was simply heart stopping! Free ride events where your bringing a dig crew with hand tools for 2 weeks before to create a run SHOULD be rewarded and part of the score! How many riders did we see riding down the same drop….. also, if Monster riders are not going to treated fairly then make it Redbull riders only event! Don’t screw them over!!! And have Can chatting absolute crap saying “the problem is he made it look too easy” awful commentary! Awful cheesy commentator!

The true Red Bull rampage runs were Brendan's, Kyle's, Tom's, Tyler, Carson's and Simon Godzie. Everyone knows that Brandon S is an incredible Rider and the things he did were incredible, but it's just taking away from the free ride aspect. It's not necessarily slope style because they're still coming down a crazy steep mountain but it's more slopestyle than free ride. You're supposed to pick cool in different lines to come down that are scary and challenging not just all big drops and jumps. A freaking backflip over a 50-ft gap is insane especially the Roll in. Building a jump up to a tiny landing on a giant rock and then dropping off a giant rock is pretty insane also

Watched the women's round TWICE (not live) thanks to the wind haha, then watched the men's live. Brendog was royally shafted and had by far the best line.

Watched with my 10 year old daughter who swore at the telly when the score came on the screen.... Brendon won 🏆 people's champ

I started the live way late but caught up to live around 5 pm. There was two wind delays that were almost two hours each. We all boded when they gave brendog 7th. Then he got bumped to 8th. Crazy event

Brendan has a Monster affiliation. That's it.

I watched both the ladies and the men. I enjoyed both, but the difference was night and day. I'm with you, Brendan Fairclough had the best run!!! I watched on KZbin.

There was only one freeride line there

Hi Guys Enjoyed the show this week. First I watched Rampage live as I was working night shift here in Australia. Managed to see all the first runs, then tuned in again to see them take a break until 5pm. Got up and watched the last part to the show only to see 2 runs and a couple of guys pass. Really enjoyed Brendogs line and run. I had watched his socials leading up to the event and only watched to see his run. Maybe he wears the wrong brand on his helmet? 🤙

Semenuk has won Redbull Rampage 2024 with the same tricks that he won in 2022. Still a good rider no doubt.

Brendog not only won the peoples vote, by a big margin, but the crowd boos when his score when announced showed how badly wrong the judges were! I watched all Brendog's VLOG building serieis with Olly and Dekes which was so good, Brendog was the Social Media winner all day long.
