Claudio's Rampage course preview. Yes, he's done a run.

So is his running commentary legit or done after the run?

What happened to guys like nico vink, cam zink, andreu lacondeguy, kurt sourge, and Brandon semenuk? I didn't see them on the quals list. Am I missing something? Do they not need to qualify because they are not first timers or something?

I hope everyone has seen Aggy's qualies run?
The hangtime on those jumps is so wild. These guys are pushing the boundaries of what can be accomplished on a push bike and it's nothing short of spectacular to watch!

Thanks for the info. Such a shame vink binned his qualifier! I was really looking forward to seeing his line as there was a lot of talk about it being insane, but never saw him ride it. Is there any footage of his run and or crash out there?

Argh.... man looks like Bizet just snapped his ulna/radius crashing a double back!

Anyone watch?

Amazing riding, dubious judging, and terrifying crashes.

First time I've been happy the kids were up early in a long time. Shame the wind kicked in and ruined the big finish, Lacondeguy would have put down a pretty special run with nothing to lose an everything to gain.

Think Rogatkin takes the award for most spectacular moment. No idea how he got up and went straight into the canyon gap. Video here if you haven't seen it...http://www.bikerumor.com/2015/10/16...inishes-run-tyler-mccaul-tests-out-huge-drop/

Paul Bas had a massive crash, there was some speculation about his injuries but just read on Cam Zink IG that he's shattered his T12 and has no feeling in his legs. Horrific stuff.

He sent a drop that was 40ft but came in too hot, landed waaaaaay down the landing probably making it 60ft vertical. Got bucked and you can imagine the rest.

Devastated, really makes you think how lucky Rogatkin came out.
