Il aura un live: The event finals will be webcast live on October 3, 2010 from 1pm to 6pm Mountain Time, on www.redbullusa.com/rampage and www.pinkbike.com. Concernant les faces: NEW OBSTACLES, CLASSIC BACKDROP On a dangerous network of ridges near Zion National Park, riders will have free reign to navigate their descent between a designated starting gate and a finish line more than 1,000 vertical feet below. Along the way, athletes will hit a series of hand-built slopestyle features such as the return of the 60-foot canyon gap jump. The course will be shaped by a new team of builders, lead by Paddy Kaye who has worked on multiple Freeride Films and legendary mountain bike projects. He will be backed up by Randy Spangler, who competed in the first Rampage, Jeremy Witek, builder for Woodward and Ray's Indoor Parks, Robbie Bourdon, competitor in all 5 previous Rampage events and Josh Bender - the original freeride hucker. In addition, a secret feature built by Oakley, dubbed the “ Icon Sender” and developed by George Yoo, rider Cedric Gracia and Steve Blick, will be (somewhat) revealed prior to Interbike the week of September 17th. The feature will be built by The Rampage Build Crew. Friday kicks into gear with a new addition to the format, where a mix of 25 up-and-coming riders and industry vets will test their skills in a qualifying session in hopes of making the cut to Sunday's final round. Making his first appearance at the event will be slopestyle wildman Andreu Lacondeguy, as well as Ryan Berrecloth, Darren Berrecloth’s brother. This will be the first time brothers have competed at Red Bull Rampage. Each rider will receive two runs with their best score counting, and the top 10 athletes will then move on to Sunday's Super Final. Saturday is slated as a practice and build day – allowing Friday’s top riders to be at their best for Sunday’s competition. Here they will join the top 15 finalists from 2008 that are already guaranteed a spot on Sunday, and with heavy hitters such as Cameron Zink fresh off his Crankworx win, teenage 2008 event winner Brandon Semenuk and 2008 Best Trick winner Thomas Vanderham slated in, everyone will have to bring their A-game to come out on top. In the finals each rider will get two shots at the course and their best run score counts. Competitors will be judged on style, amplitude, fluidity, and difficulty of line. In addition, the athlete who throws down the most amazing trick during the finals will also be presented with a Red Bull Rampage Best Trick award by the Utah Sports Commission. C'est long mais complet !!! Désolé encore pour les non anglophones mais 26in va remédier rapidement à ça !!!
