You're assuming the organizers are being fair and will offer an offer a level playing(aka judging) field to all of the athletes. Being that Red Bull puts this on and Bourdon is a Red Bull athlete (albeit a washed up one) it doesn't surprise me that he makes the big show no problem.just out of curiosity, how do they choose who is already pre-qualified and who isn't? i mean Robbie Bourdon is pre-qualified and while he is one of my favorite riders to watch what big stuff has he been doing lately that lets him be a pre-qualified rider? (that said i have not been paying much attention to any thing in the past 2 years really as far as contests, racing, and videos go) yet Casey Groves just got 3rd at Crankworks and he still has to qualify. i know they are two way different venues and all and i am not talking solely about these two riders im just using them as an example
Have you seen him ride? He's like 15 or 16, and very good.wil white? ahahahah
Indeed.Have you seen him ride? He's like 15 or 16, and very good.
They are versatile but they are primaly dirt jump riders. All the pre qualified guys are more freeride oriented than slopestyle/dj. A lot of the guys who send it on the smaller jumps may not be as good on the rampage stuff.Interesting to see Soderstrom and Lacondeguy not "pre-qualified" even though they're both Red Bull riders...
That list is STACKED! Should make for a really fun event to watch.

Also - where is Cam McCaul? Injury?

For some reason I doubt you'll see a Rockstar or Monster athlete on the top step of the podium not because of performance but because of corporate considerations.
Sure about that?you are assuming wrong... and Robbie Bourdon has not been sponsored by Red Bull since 2008
I am sure Will is a good rider, but he seems to define the word Huck.Indeed.
FixedHow did that kid Wil White get in, a nod to a local? He'll probably be good in a few years but the riding in that video was nothing that most Cat 2 Dhers can't do.
He is a hucker. He rides with Bender.I am sure Will is a good rider, but he seems to define the word Huck.
Martin recently got hooked up with an Evil Revolt for his big suspension needs. He still uses that old Hooker though as the word is he's not too happy with the new full suspension slopestyle rig from his official bike sponsor NS.Im intrigued as to what Soderstrom will be riding, since he's been reduced to riding an old cove hooker for quite a few seasons of slopestyle riding.
You mean the one that looks like a tranny double/commencal sx/yt something clone? The NS fanboys over here will commit suicide by actualy getting on their bikes and riding Im still kinda suprised he stays with NS as Im pretty sure there are other companies that can offer him a lot more.Martin recently got hooked up with an Evil Revolt for his big suspension needs.

Have no doubts he can do well at Rampage. In fact the guy could probably kill it in DH as well if he just put some time into racing, he's a magician on any kind of bike.
marosi is a badass mofo who can tear **** up with any godamn twowheeled vehicle! AND he won a 4x WC.Marosi in ?!?! As in 4x racer Marosi?

He had one back in early July when I met him in Sweden, or at least I think it was his as all the components where the same as his sponsors and it was standing outside his condo. Stealth black with NS stickers, looked pretty cool IMO. Rumours are rumours though, could've been whatever reason for not using it at Crankworx. NS is supposed to pay him well and make killer hardtails, which is his bread and butter after all.He only got it yesterday from what I got from the ns guys so how can he be not too happy?
I wonder which one is true as the info I god is from Waldo from NS and as much as I dont want to sound offensive - he is known for his BS. Maybe they changed something for now.He had one back in early July when I met him in Sweden, or at least I think it was his as all the components where the same as his sponsors and it was standing outside his condo.

He really is good, that video doesn't show what he's capable of.How did that kid Wil White get in, a nod to a local? He'll probably be good in a few years but the riding in that video was nothing that most Cat 1 Dhers can't do.
After Dan getting badly injured and Gee being on fire this season, do you really think he will risk injury at the Rampage?Gee ftmfw.
not a chance, but we can wish cant weAfter Dan getting badly injured and Gee being on fire this season, do you really think he will risk injury at the Rampage?
Why wouldn't he? The race season is done as of this weekend, and despite his injury last year he's come back to clean up this year.After Dan getting badly injured and Gee being on fire this season, do you really think he will risk injury at the Rampage?
Money is money. I think he'd come back to it because he knows how well he rides and how good he could do out there again. With the potential to win, I think he'd look at it as another big payday and another thing to add to his resume. Gee is one of the best in the world at everything mountain biking. I don't know why he wouldn't want to go out there and show people what he's capable of doing.After Dan getting badly injured and Gee being on fire this season, do you really think he will risk injury at the Rampage?
