Redbull Rampage Is Back!!

I think freecaster is the only place to see it. Some of the vids are sick indeed!
http://www.freecaster.tv/

+ some great photos up on redbull's site

 

Sick vids where? All I have seen is the day 1 and day 2 video which is mostly the dude talking showing the course and talking to riders. There was some action but where is all the coverage?

 

all action is going on today... you can watchin it on freecaster

 

Is it live , All find is old videos from friday.

I did find some a video on the red bull rampage site but its short too

 

You should be able to watchin in on freecaster today but im just not sure when its going to be up... It looks like it was raining yesterday out there...

 

I'll have to post some semi-ok pictures from the side of the course. It was visible from Gooseberry Mesa and you could actually hear the announcers echo up to the mesa.

 

everytime I go to freecaster the image of the video supposed to be playing shows up but the video just doesnt play....This sucks if thats the only place you can view the contest

 

I just watched the Qualifying and finals: http://www.freecaster.tv/1000006_1006059

Looks like finals are today!!!



The Final will take place on Monday, with a whole new section of the course in play. Once the qualifying results were announced, the top riders got back on their shovels and picks, sculpting even sicker lines for tomorrow. With the 59-foot gap and several other banger-producing elements in this section, the Final round of the first Red Bull Rampage since 2004 is set to go off.

Looks like Hunter went down, too bad.

 

I just watched the interview with Cam McCaul on Freecaster. http://www.freecaster.tv/1000006_1006058

He was talking about the 60' jump that is on the finals course and his plans to hit it. He said he was used to 45' jumps, so this one was going to be 10' better.

Hmmm, I hope his jumping skills are better than his math skills. Otherwise he's going to find himself 5' short and augered into the side of the hill.

The videos have been great. I can't wait to see the video from the finals today.

The finals video is up on www.freecaster.tv . They also have short clips of the top 3. It looks totally insane. Good stuff!

It also looks like there were spectators all over the hill, so maybe they weren't as strict about it all as they sounded in their pre-event press.

Bearclaw in 10th?!? What happened there? That guy is sooo talented in my book!

 

Finals highlights are up on freecaster!!

 

Anyone know what happened to Gee?

Found this on Pinkbike.

Gee Atherton: gets the award for bad luck, 5 minutes before runs were supposed to start the World champ went down on the slowest part of his line. He separated his shoulder. Dan Atherton was already sitting out. So both Athertons did not start in the finals.

​

 

I'm wondering the same thing. This from the redbullrampage comments:

Gee crashed right before the finals started, which sucked because he was killing it.

 

From Pinkbike:

Darren Berrecloth: The claw rode a super steep technical line down a gully. No one else rode anywhere near where he rode, and his line was super unique with some wallrides, a huge drop, and a super technical step down hip that he had to hop into. His first run he fell super high up and his run was over from there. On his second run he made it almost to the bottom but overshot a step down and crashed. Tough luck for the Claw and one of the coolest lines all weekend.

​

 

I watched some of it so far, it takes 30 minutes to load a video in the hotel. They guys are F'n nuts. I would be fully armored, not just maybe kneepads, and a helmet, even saw one guy in shorts and short sleeves WTF?
