Brendan - You bring up a solid point, and it's definitely a hot topic in the mountain biking community! The shift in Rampage judging criteria has been a point of contention for many. The roots of freeride lie in line choice, creativity in using the terrain, and riding with style, rather than focusing solely on throwing down a bunch of tricks. But, as you mentioned, the recent judging has leaned more towards rewarding trick-heavy runs, which has changed the essence of the event. Bren's run probably represents that more pure vision of freeride-creative line choice and reading the terrain in a way that not many others do. But if the judges are favoring trick progression, riders like him can end up scoring lower even if they ride impressively in other respects. It's that balance between staying true to your own riding style and adapting to the criteria of the event. The way Swatch 9s highlights progression through tricks and big-air features seems like a possible direction for Rampage. If the event continues down this path, we might end up seeing a more trick-centric version of Rampage, just with the raw and rugged terrain of Utah. What do you think would be the best way for Rampage to balance both elements?

Brendog was never going to win being a monster rider, "he made it look to easy" whilst majority wouldn't do and they took the least time to pass his score when judges took more than allocated time for the rest, When did rampage become a slopestyle event?

I am SO excited for this year

Algorithm brought me here. One of the best interviews with Jordi

Setting up for the majority of us is the key. An app using feedback from the bike is the way forward, although affordability is an issue when discussing the ‘majority’. Together with some coaching, this would be good value: more important than the frame, the brakes and the wheels. Not the tyres, but that’s a whole different discussion and may come back to join in that app with pressure sensors of some sort in the tyres and sensitive gps, front vs back of the bike. But now we’re back to affordability.

Hey maybe use the F word less, use some class, checked out early, no need for the vulgarity that much

great episode. may want to consider the amount of profanity used, a bit distracting.

Rae is Awesome! Great interview guys

Really enjoyed the interview. Thanks! And if you want to see something really gnarly, have a look at this clip of the first 2.5 minutes of her last MegaAvalanche. Absolutely smoked the snow section. Love, Proud Parents xx th-cam.com/video/IH_3HMiupjc/w-d-xo.html

Rae with 2 arms is a huge win 🥳

Sure, I'll be the only comment. Thanks for the conversation, fellas.

Great episode!

I’m quite surprised to hear you say that gravel isn’t doing well. Where I live in the Midwest, gravel is booming. Every gravel race in my area sells out nearly instantly or pushes up the limit of racers. The shops in my area almost exclusively sell gravel bikes. I know people who do (casually) compete in triathlons on gravel bikes because it is more efficient to only own one gravel bike instead of a tri bike that collects dust when you aren’t racing. One piece of evidence that might be considered empirical, last spring Cervélo put all their mtn bikes on a steep sale (50% off). The Cervelo gravel bikes weren’t discounted which would lead me to believe they demand for those bikes are higher.

Killer pod 🔥

Thanks for the effort y’all! I really appreciate Sebastian’s take on the mtb scene. The mtb family welcomed me with open arms back in the day. That’s one of my biggest reasons for staying with it so long! Cheers 🍻.

Bella failed to mention (or doesn’t know) 😂, her Uncle Phil Tinstman won the X-Games Snow mountain bike Downhill event the first year. But more importantly, she didn’t mention her dad won the Downhill Mountain bike event in the very first summer X-Games in 1995. 😂😂 And collected a check from ESPN for 10 grand. Almost 30 years later the winners are holding up check for 2 grand.

Love the throwback content! The Winter X-games Snowcross back in the day was nuts. Would love to see some of the pioneers of the sport on the Pod. The Missile, Tara Llanes, Marla Streb, Leigh Donovan, Brett Tippie, Greg Herbold, Shandro, JT, Bender..... the list is massive.

Good shit fellas. I’ll tune in while I’m burning through a batch of steezls any time.

Lol I like this one

Sick nasty

I've seen faster riders, crazier riders, and more winning riders. But IMO Johnny O is the best MX guy ever.

yewwwwie
