i watched rampage, it was pretty lame this year

camzinc hurt himself in qualifiers which is a bummer, cause he always goes for something progressive and nuts.

mike hopkins didnt qualify--overshot a 65 foot stepdown by 20 feet

barrecloth and semenuk fucked up on both their runs

other than that, only cam mcaul hit the canyon gap. Everyone else went of the oakley icon drop and did not trick it at all. last year zinc tried a 360 off that drop, hes a fucking nut on a whole other level. bummed i didnt get to watch him rip shit up.

oh yea, and the judging was fucked. Norbs did back to back 360s off of drops both ways and got a shittyass score. fucking stupid

My uncle was a pro downhill MTB'er and racer for years until he got old and fucked himself up beyond belief (broken collarbone/puncutured lung/brain swelling and damage) but h is still really into the scene and I guess he is friends with Cam Zinc? Idk cool story I guess but I posted this on my FB and he said something about knowing him and hoping he gets better.

Heard he hurt his knee and was out for the comp, but I don't think it was a major injury

yea, and his heels hurt.

basically he was semi-fine. he just decided to be smart and heal instead of risking turning a minor injury into a major injury that could fuck his whole career up

I was so pissed. I flew into CO to visit a friend when they did their online world premier. I slept through like half of it. But from what I saw, it was sick! I need to watch it again.
