Brendan Fairclough had the most Rampagy of Rampage runs! The Battle Ship gap up top, the insane chute, and the canyon gap that no one dared to build in previous years. That team always builds some of the most aesthetic, natural, and gnarly lines! I really hope that the boys aren't too discouraged to come back next year!
Why would he go back? It’s clear and obvious that the judges don’t score the contest correctly. I love watching rampage and every rider out there is a winner for even attempting it but this year left a sour taste. Judges more interested in slope style rather than free ride.
Cept Van Steenbergen didn’t even do anything nearly like “slopestyle”. More like just crap judging overall, unfortunately ruins the whole event
He should have won. Zines run was 2nd best. Alba 3rd. 🎉
Gee should have got something for his drop too. Even though he didn't compete it was massive and beyond impressive.
Brendan totally deserved 1st or 2nd. His line is the epitome of what Rampage is or maybe was. TVS maybe 4th or 5th and that’s a big maybe. Beinve deserved much higher also even though they gave him almost every other award. Zink’s run was pretty impressive with the speed and style he carried throughout. Big respect to everyone who rode as it is all Gnarly but cmon a cave man, flip and a 3 gets scored higher🤷🏽
Felt like I’d stumbled into CrankWorks scoring…😢 BrenDog was a 94. The 95 was a 92. And that front flip over the canyon should have been scored much higher too, especially within the complete run. Anyway, we all have our winner @BrendanFairclough 🎉🎉🎉
Brendog robbed, it almost feels personal
right its got me fired up!!! risk Vs reward is not a thing at rampage, you just have to be a vet to podium!!!!
Robbed….& not for the first time either!!!
100%
@@incredible5587or be American!
Honestly, if I was Brendog, when that invite comes through next year I’d be telling the organisers to get fucked. How many years does he have to turn up, lay down insane runs & end up not winning, before he goes enough is enough.
I think bienve deserved more for his run
yes, I think he got penalised because the top section was a bit plain considering also the introduction of a feature like the battleship
@@ludovicofavero9065but then you look at 6th place who basically "only"did a flip drop and a suicide no hander
1st and 2nd brought to you by generous contributions from monster energy and troy lee designs.
He ended up with 3 awards so I think he did okay
Er hat mehr für den massiven frontflip verdient! Ich freue mich trotzdem für Cam Zink! Geiles event
In the past i have grown tired of saying someone got robbed at every rampage.... however this year brendog got shafted big time. 4th place (i think that run was deserving of a podium spot) and not a single of the other awards is daylight robbery especially since the digger crew that won didn't even build a new line (as far as i know) most of the features they build were there last year. Brendans team built one of the gnarliest lines down a mountain already chalk full of lines and that gets overlooked. Then again armchair expert right here so maybe I got
agreed. brendog got robbed. that canyon gap man...thats a do or die. even more so than the other stuff.
It’s a total stitch up how could Bren dogs team walk away without anything?
Agree
the craziest thing for me is that TVS had a better score than Semenuk last year using his line . And with a less impressive run in my opinion. There is something wrong.
Straight up agree! They built a brand new line catching up to every one else, last of the hill digging etc. The Bendog sends it flawlessly fist time on the most gnarliest of lines to miss out on a podium. The judges should hang their heads in shame! I think he should of won
The judges dropped the ball on this one. It’s a good thing that these guys love what they do and pretty much send it anyway!
Like they do every year. It's hard to watch something and enjoy it when you have no idea how they are scoring it. TVS run didn't look anything special to me
I will remember Brendogs journey for the rest of my life. Sadly he refused to sleep with the judges. What a joke!! Thanks Bren, you are THE legend! Sweaty palms for one week.
are the judges not hot enough?
Sleeping with the judges wouldn't help, he's not from the right continent and he hasn't been riding bikes with them all for the last 20 years.
@@SamFr1000 yeah watching all the judges clap and cheer when cam landed his backflip is pretty dang telling. So lame, gave the win to their buddy.
@@stevenh3880 not the first time this has happened either.
brendog got robbed. that gap man...thats mad.
Bienve and Brendog deserved much more. I’m not saying Cam Zink’s run was bad, but sorry it was not 95. Bienve front flipped nearly the same distance. I hope Simon is OK and they build a European version of Rampage!
Oh man! Szymon is where I tuned in, that was the first thing I saw. I honestly didn’t think he was getting up a that. It was terrifying.
I don’t think it even makes sense scoring this stuff and putting an order on who does what. They’re all putting everything on the line!
Same distance sure, but Zink also dropped about 40ft vertical. It's the biggest flip step down ever and the most rampage move of the day, he deserved the win
@@nigel5137 and no kick to do the backflip...
Yes, this was a joke podium
Mirucan competition
did you guys like it when they briefly showed the judges judging during Zink's run? :)))
what a bunch of old weasels
Brendog robbed :(
Yankee judges....
Monster sponsorship.
No brendog podium is criminal lol. I get he didn’t have the craziest tricks but that line alone deserved a podium.
The podium should’ve been Cam, Brendan and Bienv. The order is debatable but I thought the top 3 was pretty clear.
exactly!
Agree
Big flips over big gaps! they killed it.
Absolutely BS Dylan Stark didn’t get an invite this year.
I agree 100%! But for whatever reason I can’t get Strait’s massive, chill sui out of my head. Not a podium run, but soooo classy.
I've watched Rampage for the best part of 10 years or so, and I still have no idea about how the scoring works. It's like they just make it up at random every time, there's no pattern to anything.
Here’s how the scoring works:
It doesn’t.
They went into great detail on how the scoring works on the live feed about 20 Mins before the comp started. It's on red bull tv still
@@mirkorinozuzuri they forgot to mention the bit where they remove points for Monster sponsorship.
And -10 for not being American. It's also +5 points for being a rampage veteran and another +5 if the judges are all your mates.
Awakenbeerus is on fire, shutting down betting sites left and right with his spot-on predictions. He even called the outcome of this before the event even happened
Brendog was the only run where if he failed to make the canyon or slipped off the battleship he would be dead. All the other runs, yes they would get injured and hobble off, but Bren would be 100% dead. He ran a proper freeride line perfectly, the rest apart from the canyon front flip were just running a smooth slopestyle event and the judges were marking slopestyle, not freeride.
I think they held his score at 86 so they had room at the top for wriggle room, (very common in gymnastics), but I dont blame him for not doing a second run with that farsical score of 95, I mean WTF was that for.
Absolutely right 👍🏼👍🏼
I think Godziek would double canyon, if he had made it but we can only speculate.
yeah,with an 86 for his perfect run, he had nothing to add to reach 95. Idk who wants to win like that? The comments say it all. The winner is BF, 86 as a score for that run is on the judges. They should be tossed, was Cam’s brother judging?
1. Bienve
2. Brendog
3 Zink
4. Genon
5. Turk
6. Storch
How does one front flip a canyon gap and only get 8th place?! Also, Brendog definitely should've had a podium spot. I'm glad I didn't waste my time watching this live.
Easy, have Monster sponsorship at a Red Bull event.
Even more shocking it was a back flip into the massive front flip.. both text book, on a gap he'd crashed on in practice. 🤯 Bienvenido was robbed having 8th place, He deserved peoples choice and the podium.
The winner is sponsored by monster lol
Bienve showed twice how to ramapage and he deserved way more!!!
Grande Bienve!!!He is an animal!!!!
Congratulations Bienve, you are the real winner, you have made history!!! The jury has not been fair.
Bienvenido deserved a better position, he was the best
Fr
I’m just an extreme sports enthusiast (not MB specifically) but is it just me that’s thinking there’s blatant disrespect of Bren?
Dude gets 10k to come from the UK, which you have to fund the whole trip for 3 people with (so a net loss!), builds the most dangerous and unique line, nails it, doesn’t get a podium or even a token made up award… I can think of one: People’s Champ.
Spot on 👌
most of these athletes are born rich, thats why theyre athletes. at this level they also get a ton of money from sponsors, pretty sure brendogs gonna be fine
@@danweekliesorama9995 what a dumb statement. What has “other” sources of income got to do with being paid for your value?
Not saying that Red Bull should be paying oil money for Ronaldo to come and fly down the hill but not covering the cost of flights, hotel, food for an event where the riders have to build the course and even buy their own tools to do so is mad!
it is indeed blatant disrespect, you should see brendog's previous rampage attendance and your observation will be valid
youre a dope and you dont even mountain bike. go preach about something you know instead of virtue signaling about paying. i disagree with the judges scores but it is what it is. brendog didnt win. he will be ok financially. @@HashTagFUT
Brendog and his crew robbed of a podium. Judging not constant at all
Brendogs only run easily had the most steeze,, should of been on the podium
Brendog got robbed...again
brendan and bienve not being top 2 is blasphemy. were the judges high or drunk?
Sponsored by Monster.
That front flip was insane!!
Brendog got robbed. He deserved so much more for the technicality, exposure and true Rampage spirit. Judging needs to be overhauled, let each rider ride a first lap and then judge after.
Brendan deserved way more!!! How on earth Cam got 95 is beyond me.
He’s American that’s why.
It was an amazing run but Brendan's was by far more difficult. Although zink and straits exposed lines up top are filthy too. But fairclough should have won.
Or the back flip off that crazy huge drop
Zink deserved it tbh, but doesen't change the fact that bren should've got more
Im sorry but that flat flip alone. I hoped Brendog is gonna win but cam did an amazing job. Bienve could be 2nd imo
Big up Brendog! Let's GOOOOOO!
Rampage should be ashamed that brendog didn't get a podium or even an award as they did a lot of digging from scratch
Can someone explain the judges scoring justification, if that wasn’t a fix then the danger element needs to be removed completely, and everyone rides down easier established lines risk free 🤔😑
Judges prefer seeing their friend do the same flip he did 10 years ago.
Worlds-first canyon gap frontflip? Crazy lines? Progression? Meh, boring, 70 points.
Old guy does old trick like he did in the good old days? So gnarly dude that's a 99.5!
The judging is pointless, a Nines type format of riders voting for the best run would be better imo.
Yeah how the canyon front flip only get 8th!?! 🤦♂️
Great event and amazing riding as always. I agree with everyone else that Brendog deserved a podium for the most Rampage line of the day.
They just didn’t get any angles on Brendon’s canyon gap to show how fricking gnarly it was. Once again the big show jump gets the points even though it’s just a huge, wide groomed drop. Why 9pts more!?!?! Sorry. Judges need to explain why he got SO much more because the entire world can’t work it out.
Amazing lines for both Bienvenido and Brendan. Both underscored in my opinion. Great progression of the event with the new features: the battleship built by Godziek dig crew and canyon gap by Brendog's. Speedy recovery Szymon! Already looking forward to Rampage 2024!
Best Rampage in a while even with the broken results 🤙
Agreed. Riding was great. Results were mind boggling.
Too obvious at this point…
The Riders were amazing, but I'm still gutted for Brendog, as the consequence of that gap was one of the highest out of all of the lines, and especially when he threw that sui no-hander! Perhaps he needed more trick variations in the rest of the run, kinda like the judges said about Bienve's runs? The judging for an event with everyone on different lines must be such a hard thing to do, I wouldn't want to do it!
Thats the problem with rampage now. It's become more if a slopestyle event in a big mountain setting. Bren had the lines that was most free ride imo. He should've gotten top 3 just for pulling off that line
Don't think more variations would matter. it's like serving a five star meal to a restaurant critic who's favorite food is dogshit
@@garyindiana2127you get 6 stars from me for that comment
brendog all the way
Now that rampage is an official slope style event, are they going to create a freeride event for Brendog? Robbed. Canyon gap is pure freeride gold
Emil would have won if it was slopestyle judging. Obviously its about the home boys. Every one of those judges should not come back.
They forgot to give Bren dog and bienve the you got screwed by the judges award.
Can we have a video where the judges break down their decisions please? Doesn’t make much sense as it stands
They put an Instagram post up boasting how they nailed the right decision. Went down like cold sick
These guys are insane!
Just thinking back to the first Rampage.
Seemed like just making it down without crashing or least amount of crashes was enough to win. So much different than this course with all the man-made features.
No disrespect to anyone else, but Brendan's ride embodied the spirit of rampage and should have been the winner... period.
Come on how was brendog robbed that bad
Think it must be wrong sponsorship at this point
@@nickos2079 Yeah, why isn't Sam Pilgrim invited? Wrong sponsor, wrong continent.
@@sapinva he's also a full slopestyle rider. Watch him and Brendog do mini Rampage stuff in their local area - he hates it.
@@apersonontheinternet8034 Sam was at 2012, and other slopestyle riders were invited this year. The lines are starting to blur with slopestyle features getting much bigger in recent years, and some of the Rampage lines are now closer to slopestyle. But you may be right. Maybe Sam didn't want to go back.
#BRENROBBED
Such an incredible event ruined by absolutely idiotic judging. Why even try to market it as a freeride event, if one of the most gnarliest freeride lines i've ever seen doesn't even make it to the podium? Really left a bitter taste even after witnessing some of the greatest feats of this sport.
It's clear that the fans believe Brendog's run was the best, so I'm going to consider Brendog the winner.
No. It's just an internet echo chamber thing. The fans who voted, voted for Bienve, that's why he got the people's choice award not Brendan.
This was the most SUBJECTIVE scoring I've ever seen. Seems like the old guard is holding strong in the judges booth... 95 for Cam? 🤣.
I turned it off when Bren dog was robbed
Brendog 1st. Zink 2nd. Alba 3rd. Is how this should have went.
Alba 2nd Van 3rd Zink 4th
at a certain point the wisdom of the crowd cannot be ignored. the judges should take stock of why people feel so strongly about brendan's run and their judging this year..
Glad Bienve got some recognition for best trick award and people's choice. Placed below Straight's run, just insane and doesn't make any sense.
Top 3 should've been Van Steenbergen, Brendawwwg and Bienve 🙌
strait went conservative on his run, still threw some bangers
Straight had a classic gnarly run. The speed and steeps was what Rampage used to be about. I loved watching his run vs. those who traversed across the ridge rather than hucking down it.
I’m done with Rampage now; the judges messed up this year big time. I’ll join Brendog and mow my lawn perfectly this weekend as obviously that is what the judges want to see.
How brendogs line didn't place higher 🙄 judges won't let a monster sponsored rider win tho.......
I wanted Brendog to win and do feel he wasnt placed high enough but, Zink is sponsored by Monster too.
Oh yes, its a giant conspiracy to award riders of certain sponsors. LOL f- off back to reddit with your crappy takes.
cam zink is sponsored by monster and he won. I guess the problem is somewhere else with the judges...
NA can't dominate Slopestyle, downhill and even crosscountry so they have to have a token win in the free ride I guess.🤷♂
Only 1 RedBull rider in the top 5 this year. The winner the past two years has been non-Redbull.
RedBull is obviously not the issue at Rampage. I think it's more so judges who are closer friends with certain riders and not others.
Bredog 4th by a hair... When are they just gonna give him a bloody podium, the historic canyon gap alone deserved something...
a complete robbery of Brendan and Bienvenido Aguado, WTF!
I agree totally
fairclough was robbed.! judges were hella biased, 95 for zink.?
The Death Grip artisan strikes again. Genius is a compromise to contemporary minds. The vision and execution he and his team left in the dirt is the stuff of LEGEND. #DeathGrip
the winning 95 was just about history, nothing else.
the fact that the judges all jumped out they`re seat for a flip that he did already years ago?
the guy frontfliping the canyon deserves a podium for sure.
almost like beeing robbed because they like some guy better than another``
for sure not watching this again
it's a great run, but something about the "10 years after his iconic back flip" he does it again and wins thing that's just a bit too good of a story not to question a score that high
And no interview with Bren shown on this vid, very suspicious
Much love for Brett Tippie. Brendog got absolutely robbed, without a question. Judges mustn't have even been watching to give him a score like that..
All the best to Szymon!!
Bienves 2nd run was amazing and Genons 2nd run was also great. Both scored low, so I guess unless you are Cam Zink, second runs just score lower. But then again Brendog NAILED his first AMAZING run and didn't even get a podium. And then Van Steenbergens rating was completely off, just because of the caveman drop. It is really hard to understand what the judges are doing.
In the end. I think brandon can just read the comments and know he was a beast. Cam tho webt so huge.
Everyone rode around the battle ship that went that way and didnt even consider the canyon gap. As soon as a rider goes that way and skips the battle ship they should not get a higher score than Bren
Ive come to find just watch Rampage and skip the scores. We all know what the gnarliest runs were and who deserved the most recognition. The comments all support them. It should not be a judged event in the end.
Brendog for the win 🏆 firm winner in my eyes 👀 😊❤
The awards Bienvenido received carry so much more weight than the judges decision.
The prize money should reflect this. 👊🏻🔥
They really screwed Fairclough and Bienve.
Sickest 8th place run of all time
Brendog and Bienve absolutely robbed
Good they're not rewarding low consequence tricks at the bottom so much anymore. Still think more emphasis on the route needs to happen, regarding tricks Zinks run is sick but how is it scoring that largely off one trick vs bienve's front flip, just makes Zink look overscored.
it was a shame, because zinks run was incredible but it just made me feel like he was overscored, leaving a bad taste. no hate on his riding which was insane and dialed
@@bermchasin yeah over scoring also essentially killed the competition, none of the others riders rightfully didn't bother the risk involved with trying to beat it.
Bienve's canyon gap front flip is crazy!!
Awesome edit and recap! Thanks PB.
Gotta be in the in crowd to win a non timed RedBull event...
How the f£&k did BrenDog not win? Strange scoring voodoo…
Judges should retire. Bienve and Brendog should have been on the podium.
BrenDog robbed
I think it's sad no one can say a thing about Gee Athertons crash! I've watched multiple videos and nothing!! And yes the judges screwed the pooch on this one bigtime. They had complete H.I.A. syndrome. [ HEAD IN A$$] saying that, Zink was who I wanted to win but. Bienve got screwed bigtime and so did Brendog. Shame on the judges. My pick for the win was Brendog and then Bienve then Zink.
An european will never win rampage
Gee should of won the toughness award
@@nw7654 100%! Dude was back on site, walking around a couple of days later with a fractured skull and spine FFS.
Grande Bienvenido Aguado. ¡Viva España!
Gawd. I remember Kyle Straight as a grom. I'm feeling super old but he's still riding. Respect
Rampage is just a gawd damn popularity contest!🥴
TIPPIE RULZZZZ🤙!!!!!
Bienvenido’s front flip gap jump should have been a Podium finish for him. Damn Rampage is rigged like the Oscars now..
I don't think I'll be watching next year. Judges are shockingly awful.
For sure - I want to watch the monster version, freeride judged as freeride
I won’t be able watching it hats for sure. Judges obviously have their home favourites
Nope
Justice for Alba
pour moi l'ordre aurait du être : Bienvenido,brendog et Kyle !!!
Kyle ?? Not evrn in top 5
Bienvenido for sure earned those awards. You have to have a blatant disregard for your own safety to do a FRONT FLIP on that massive long and low kicker
They got to fix the scoring and judges thing on this man. I love cam and that drop was crazy but brendog had the most dangerous line and bien had the best tricks. Shoot, bren wouldve died if he came short on the battleship and the gap.
so many Thanks to Red Bull, for this compition .. and and this glory Riders, for the amazing action and style. Thats realy pure sport in 2023 ! ( Grüße aus D. )
Riders forgot there's a canyon?
The love of the people is more important than the money. What a word! You really deserve to stand on the podium
Just insane😮!!!
I always find it amazing how consistent some of the top names in MTB are. I've been watching these guys since I was a teen and I'm 30 now.
Zinks backflips is the gnarliest trick of the contest, wether he deserves 1st is debatable. Also I think people under estimate the top chute that got 2nd and 3rd.
A trick he's been practicing on the same drop for 10 years, vs the first frontflip canyon ever? Nah.
Not set en an interview with THE BRENDOG?let’s GOooo…!!!
Monster needs to make there own event. The judging was def favored to a select group of homies. Brendogs raw line was the coolest and gnarliest thing rampage has ever seen.
Monster Mampage ™️
One of the best rampages I’ve ever seen, Congratulations to every rider that gave it their all!! However this shouldn’t be a judged event because it’s an impossible task. 👏
great
Daylight robbers, the scoring is a total bs
Fantastic event, well done Redbull!!
It definitely helps to have your mates as judges
Imagine crashing on the canyon gap
