Rampage 2013

ok..so....backlip on the sender or backflip on the canyon jump....which was more impressive?....my vote goes for the canyon jump by a small margin

[Stretch]

I fell asleep during that long wind stop.....they obviously continued because zink came in 3rd.....so thats 3 4th's for the spaniard!

 

off to find the repeat

[Guest Omega Man]

I don't know who else noticed, but Cam Zink had extra padding on the outside of his helmet shell.

 

 

They say it's like wearing 2 helmets

Yeah I noticed that. Couldn't figure out what was going on there. And why not just wear a Moto lid?

yeah, Super_mil and I were discussing that last night. Whilst the sender stepdown flip was insane the mechanics of it make it slightly safer. ie you kinda land on the down if something goes wrong. It's still goig to hurt though.

 

The canyon gap though... come up short and you're falling into a nasty gully, or splatting on the back side of the landing.

 

I wouldn't suggest that either is "safe" though

Totally not safe!...both equally impressive!

Is anything they do there 'safe' though?

agreed, the gap is backflip to near_flat land followed by near certain detonation. Ask Chris van dine about near_flat landing detonations. Poor sod wrecked himself properly.

 

Anyone remember last year's ejection by zink himself on that gap, that snap as his lid smashed into the deck? This year, the gap was even wider... *shudder*

 

but other than the gap flip, McGarry's run was pretty bland, not as bland as zink's though. that chap just got lost after landing the sender flip.

No ways!

 

he had that off axis flip near the top... and another flip near the bottom. I know it's noy much variety... but still looked sick

[nigelhicks]

so what happened after the wind delay? I went to bed. did they cancel the 2nd runs? cus the results were the same as from the first runs.

 

Still think McGarry should have taken it.

 

Thought Andrea's run was insane too

yep, wind-hold turned into a cancellation.

[Tumbleweed]

Any idea who was on the judging panel?

[nigelhicks]

glad i didnt try and wait it out then

[patches]

yeah same!

 

Good call Super_mil for setting a 12:30am time bar.

no doubt for a tall chap like that to pop a corkscrew flip is balsy stuff, but my simple mind wasn't entertained by his run. it was like oh.. look.. 3 backflips. yay..

 

At least Lacondeguy was popping whips, flips, super sick superman grabs while going at a stupid rate of knots. IMO, it was evidently more entertaining to watch than trying to 'appreciate/imagine' just how hardcore mcgarry's run was (excluding the gap flip which is obviously very gnarly)

but then how did zinc end up third...did they cancel all the 2nd runs?
