Hopkin's crash......ffff*****k'n unreal!
Waaaay overshot. Glad he walked away.

CMac and Doerfling just kind of killed that place.

That canyon jump must be a little bucky at that speed if Cam McCaul feels like he needs to bar hump it a bit. At least they finally built a landing for it.

I hope zink doesn't kill himself.

The helicopter footage is pretty lame, everything looks so small. I'd like to see more stuff filmed at closer range.

[tabletop84]

Agree. I hope they don't do this in the finals. You can't even see what tricks they are throwing.

I hope zink doesn't kill himself.

That came to my mind too as I heard that he wants to flip it.

He crashed it nose heavy the night before, compensation?

For sure. But if you look at both clips of his first AND second run at it, it looks a little sharp.......which means it's a pretty bad jump to consider flipping. But then again, it's also big enough that you've got enough time to just deal with the lip and start your pull afterwords. I don't know.......I've only hit small things and used the lip to rotate. At 60 something feet you just might be able to do it all in the air. Pretty gnarly though. Zink is all checkers or wreckers so I'd love to see him do it. I just don't want to see the guy paralyzed because he's stubborn.

sounds like zink might be out though, he crashed on the big boy jump.

My three top pics/favorite riders are out or possibly out. Was pulling for zink, gee, or fairclaugh.

Isn't that the way rampage has always worked? Previous winner injured?

Sucks to see all those guys out. Looking at those pics though, there's no question the lines out there this year blow away the previous years'

[Da Peach]

Part of me considers this contest to be a bit gruesome...

I guess I'm just getting old. I suppose that most of these guys would be out doing this anyway...

[Verskis]

Ridiculous
