deanbean Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 http://cdn2.coresites.mpora.com/dirt_new/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/red-bull-rampage-2014-site-preview-1020x680.jpgI see a new course is on the cards for 2014The Red Bull Rampage has become a somewhat iconic event in the world of mountain biking thanks to boundaries continually being pushed at the event. Over the years the Rampage course has changed from time to time in order to keep help pushing things forward, and this year Red Bull obviously felt it was once again time for change. Part of the whole idea of Rampage is to create a new line down a mountain that on first appearance seems almost unrideable, but with so many lines having been built over the years that was no longer the case on the old course. For 2014 though it will be all be as fresh as a daisy, an entirely new test.Read more at http://dirtmountainb...5UIKzIJ7sW3M.99https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=nIMd78kUYK4and the competitors Pre Qualified to FinalsGarett Buehler CANPierre Edouard Ferry FRABrendan Fairclough GBRThomas Genon BELRamon Hunziker SWIAndreu Lacondeguy SPNCam McCaul USAKelly McGarry NZLMike Montgomery USABrandon Semenuk CANKurt Sorge CANKyle Strait USACameron Zink USAQualifier ListPaul Basagoitia USALogan Binggeli USAGraham Agassiz CANGee Atherton GBRRobbie Bourdon CANAntoine Bizet FRAMitch Chubey USAMick Hannah USADarren Berrecloth CANJames Doerfling CANYannick Granieri FRAGeoff Gulevich CANMakken Haugen NORJeff Herbertson CANMike Hopkins CANRyan Howard USABrendan Howey CANKyle Jameson USABernard Kerr GBRAnthony Messere CANKyle Norbraten CANLogan Peat CANBrett Rheeder CANAnton Thelander SWEChris Van Dine USATom Van Steenbergen CANThomas Vanderham CANNico Vink BELWil White USA Read more at http://dirtmountainb...5UIKzIJ7sW3M.99
cspurdens81 Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 Amped for the new course! I was hoping to see Danny Hart on the invite list though... Dude's got style.

I'm more surprised to see Mick Hannah's name there. I can't see why a top 10 WC contender would risk a season or even worse, a career on a freeride event.

Other downhillers like Gee have been regulars at Rampage, I think Gee even podiumed once, they don't trick that much, if at all. Also Sick Mick and his lovely sis do/did Whistler dh, must be infectious.

The MTBer Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 Would like to se Semenuk on top, that is one of THE guys I am looking up to! Think Gee got 2nd that year, could be wrong.
kosmonooit Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 Yeah if the breeze blows his way, Lady Luck calls the shots there.
BaltazarMarques Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 Can't wait!!! Gets gnarlier every year. Gonna be good to see a new course. It blows my mind watching these guys on a screen - Would love to see it up close. Even though I can see how quick and far they're dropping by the second, I think my brain would explode seeing the scale and madness of it up close in real life. Immense!!!!
rvdm1 Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 Aaww yisss, can't wait. Wish I had the balls and skill to do what they do.

Until 2013, when the event was cut short because of wind and only one finals run was completed, there were seven different winners. Even more striking is the fact that there isn’t a single rider who has been on the podium more than twice. Kyle Strait has won twice but he’s never managed another podium finish. Berrecloth, Cédric Gracia, Kurt Sorge, Cameron Zink and Gee Atherton are the only other double podium sitters.http://nsmb.com/rampage-week/
