He reveals what his second run at Red Bull Rampage would have looked like, breaks down the rider protest at Crankworx Rotorua, and offers his perspective on the current state of slopestyle/Crankworx.

Tom is great. It feels a little sad that Rampage has lost its luster.

[@H3avyHaul3r]

rampage is done tbh….

[@felixghaffar9604]

Why?
Because you favourite rider didn’t win? You know his line was the only line, which was ridden by an „amateur“. Says very much about the difficulty of his line, just like the judges explained it.
But it’s basically a huge British problem. The British bias in sports general is out of this world!!!

[@H3avyHaul3r]

nah…haven’t watched it for a longtime ….been done for a decade or more just like slopstyle
