SAVE THE DATE: RED BULL RAMPAGE RETURNS TO UTAH IN 2012

The dawn of 2012 brings with it the anticipation of many momentous events – the presidential election, The Summer Olympics, and if you follow the Mayan calendar, the apocalypse. If all of civilization is falling, we may as well go out in style – and come October, the best freestyle mountain bikers in the world are going to huck it like there is no tomorrow.

Red Bull Rampage, the most progressive and prestigious event in Freeride will once again return to the Zion area of Utah on October 5-7, 2012. More information to be released in the coming months - stay tuned!

 SOPA = Stop Online Piracy Act. Google it, it's that simple Smile

By the away, "sopa" is the portuguese word for "soup" Big Grin
That makes sentences like "why sopa is dangerous" quite interesting haha

 soup can be dangerous if it is hot and splshes all over your elbows, and sopa is a bill in the american legislation trying to get passed but like 6 billion people in the world are against it and i feel it has 0.342 chance to pass. but anywho it lets us canadians take a crack at the no good over protective americans who wanna control the whole world so they start with the internet Razz haha all in good fun my fellow american friends. But in all seriousness sopa and pipa need to be stopped. its almost as scary as freaking red bull rampage!!!

  • + 7
flag ButtonPusher (Jan 18, 2012 at 13:41)
 he can pull out the big tricks without a doubt..! but there's a few cats that can shred better overall lines (way more tech) than him... looking back at 2010, the rest of Zink's line aside from the 360 drop wasn't that tech/challenging compared to some other riders lines...
watch for Doerfling, Aggy, and Vanderham in particular...

flag iesubach (Jan 18, 2012 at 14:01)
 I reckon the claws gonna shred! I reckon he deserved better than third with his 2010 run, and he'd just come out of a broken neck i think, so I reckon he'll be one to watch!
  • + 3
flag ButtonPusher (Jan 18, 2012 at 14:09)
 Claw's run was better than 3rd I'd agree...
No one was as fast as Gee on that mountain, he must have gotten huge points in fluidity...
  • + 5
flag iesubach (Jan 18, 2012 at 14:15)
 Gee's was fast and fluid, but personally I don't think it deserved second, just think that if we're marking on speed may as well go the the wc's and hold up number cards. I think the claw has the best style out there, and he always thinks outside the box, and puts some huge lines together!
  • + 2
flag ButtonPusher (Jan 18, 2012 at 15:17)
 i think Claw would've gotten 2nd if it hadn't been for that large gap to 1/4 that Gee landed to finish his run...

flag timmyelle (Jan 18, 2012 at 18:02)
 youre right, Gee was the only one to land that gap, Romo tried and crashed. That jump still blows my mind. HUGE

flag bigburd (Jan 19, 2012 at 1:45)
 Yeah , to me that was probably one of the best bit of bike handling skills I have ever seen , I mean look at the two guys who crashed on it , both paid to ride off cliffs for a living and both failed Razz
  • + 1
flag Dave48 (Jan 19, 2012 at 8:10)
 Three to crash on it, Romo, Doerfling and T Mc Caul, that's one of the reason of his second place i think.
  • + 1
flag timmyelle (Jan 19, 2012 at 11:58)
 for sure. just nuts. I also like the clip of him flying of "peatys plunge" @ Windham. That was equally as impressive. The speed he hit that at....... Insane. I think Gee could own the big mtn scene if he ever decided to focus on that discipline.

flag randybadger (Jan 20, 2012 at 5:47)
 I personally was surprised Lacondeguy didn't place for me he had more going on in his run than most other riders.
Aside from the obvious huge sender trick (which was amazing) I didn't see much else in Zinks runs (prepare for neg props Smile)
  • + 2
flag bigburd (Jan 20, 2012 at 5:57)
 Nah I agree with ya Badger , granted his 360 was nuts but the rest of his run was ' just getting down the hill ' .
No doubt he will have some insane step down to back flip this time tho going by his latest edit

 Why would that affect whether or not he rides? He's still sponsored by Red Bull, and GT aren't outlawed from the competition, Tmac rode a GT in it last year. If he's riding a GT for a full world cup season beforehand, I'm sure he'll be ready to shred Rampage on that same bike.
