Is it just me or has the game been upped in the mens this year
Great results for the women.
Goodness yes. Overall level seems to have gone up a notch if that was possible
Yep, I’m watching! It’s amazing - the skill level and cahoonas are unbelievable! I love it! Godziek just put down an amazing run!
RBtv not really working for me. YT stream is fine.
Come on Brendog!
Is it just me or is redbull tv really glitchy and annoying
YouTube ftw. Excited to see brendog having watched the videos all week
Yes! Brendan, absolutely smashed it, so clean!
Fantastic!
Stunning run.
Brendog….robbed!!!
Thats the type of runs I love - yeah the tricks are impressive but that’s not freeride for me.
Brilliant run...robbed again
Otherwise, yeah agree Tracey - the quality is insane.
Not sure what he has to do to convince the judges.
The crowds didn't like their score.
yep, watching Brendan getting robbed again.
Interesting hearing the judging process, that they compare runs to pitch the score. So the number given is superfluous, just say, “we think he’s third”. Scores literally mean nothing in isolation, it’s just a mechanism for ranking.
Brendog's run as awesome as ever. Just not what the judges want (or red Bull will condone). Loving the crowd reaction to his score though!
The YouTube comments section is still rolling with "brendog robbed" over and over again
My (conspiracy) theory is, the organizers believe that if he wins he won’t return to defend his title. As he’s the most popular rider (in my house, at least) they need keep him coming back year after year so that people keep watching. Without Brendan, Rampage would be nothing!
Then the judges shaft him
Yeah - just shows once again Rampage can't score anything for technical features. It's all about the tricks and whips. Typical American BS is all about the V8 PoWeR rather than the cornering finesse.
I’m getting more concerned that they are purposely scoring people down to force them to take even bigger risks on 2nd runs for the click and likes of Red Bull
Doesnt appear the scoring is at all linked to agreed set of rules etc
Ooh that was a nasty fall…
Ooh that was a nasty fall…
yep lost consciousness at minimum
As far as the digging of lines, how does it compare to a golf course, grouse moor or ski resort. It’s pretty insignificant I’d have thought. Nature will reclaim it within a year.
I think I was Brendan I’d already be in the truck on the way to Vegas. If what he put down is only good enough for 9th in the judges eyes, there’s not much point him risking his life for 8th.
Brendogs run was special, but unfortunately not rampagey enough for the judges again. Agreed he should just head off to Vegas with his crew now as his line isn't for tricks. It's been great watch him build and tick it off this week.
Hope Zink manages to walk this off, worrying that they cut the coverage.
Yeah that was one run and done. Can’t improve on that.
Superb effort but time to get out of there
Rider of the day voting page if anyone missed it:

Brendog currently in the lead
Brendon's sure to win the peoples vote.
Didn't like the look of that fall one bit. He was totally unconscious at the end of it, looked scary. Hope I'm wrong and it's not serious
Anyone know the time for brendog's run so I can watch it pls?
Voted!
Cam Zinc crash was awful
Hope he’s ok
I voted for Brendog too - 47% of the vote!
Not gonna get 2nd runs are we…
dont forgot to do second votes...
Good news via PB
We have heard that Cam Zink is moving and will be getting a helicopter out of the venue due to a suspected leg injury
Watching that TVS front flip again , flippin' 'eck !
Brendon making the right decision on second runs and understandably not happy.
Geoff gulivich was very pro Brendan in the aftermath of the scoring, saying his problem is that he 'makes it look too easy'
As before the standard on first runs has been so high, with lots of full runs. I'd love to see tom Isted do a full run. He's been amazing too and stomped his rookie year. Just guinea pigging that big step down gap was an amazing achievement . And very com posed to push back up for it. He's ice cold
Hard to see how a lot of first runs can be improved. Although obviously semenuk, Brando and Isted. And Boggs too
Cant see godziek being beaten unless semenuk does his bottomless trick bag thing. Godziek's pause between each flip on his double flip was <chefs kiss>
I'm gonna have to stay up and watch this now, just to see semenuk. I think they draw lots for second run order though? Maybe I'll just go to bed. I enjoy the build videos and then seeing BF do a complete run, don't care how the north Americans are ordered tbh
As someone said before, having strait above BF is stupid
Brendog! Robbed, again.......
Is it freeride or slope style?
Seems to be judged more like a slope style contest in recent years.
