You may have heard people say things like ‘Rampage is too groomed these days, it’s getting too easy’, or ‘It’s just tricks, it’s not mountain biking’. Alternatively, there’s the ‘It’s too dangerous, someone will get killed’ camp. Some of my colleagues are among them. Me? I think I’ve actually come around over the years, watching it less through worried fingers and more with interest and appreciation. I absolutely definitely want to get to be there…

I came to Singletrack having decided there must be more to life than meetings. I like all bikes, but especially unusual ones.
More than bikes, I like what bikes do. I think that they link people and places; that cycling creates a connection between us and our environment; bikes create communities; deliver freedom; bring joy; and improve fitness. They're environmentally friendly and create friendly environments.
I try to write about all these things in the hope that others might discover the joy of bikes too.
I’d also love to get out there one year. Having visited a famous nearby canyon and wandered around in the desert I know that the scale of these things can never be contained by a monitor or magazine page.
I’d also love to take my bike and ride some of the drops and booters on the lower slopes. It’s not all completely mental.
I love the spectacle, and recognise it’s going to evolve, but I still can’t get over the fact they’re allowed to go into a National Park and hack the crap out of the rock, build drops and stack cement bags all over the place.
It would be good to go there, but I might need a “whoop” filter or it could get irritating.
