Il va falloir attendre un peu...il faut que la pression monte.
Par contre j'ai, pour les anglophones, un truc sympa:
la vision des choix de ligne à la Rampage par certains riders:
Graham Agassiz:
"It's a massive landscape; you have an idea what you’re looking for, but you don't really have a clue where you’re going to find it. You spend hours in the blistering heat scouring every ridge, cliff, and bluff, hunting for lips, transitions, chutes, drops, jumps – and it all has to link up fluidly into one line. Everyone wants their line to stand apart, so you’re always trying to get as creative as possible."
Cameron Zink:
"This year presents a new opportunity with so many pre-built jumps; if you choose one obstacle then it narrows down your choices to funnel into or out of it. It will be interesting to see how many people build a 100% original line as opposed to utilizing the pre-built features. Either way, we will have no idea what our lines will be until we show up to the gnarliest event mountain biking has to offer."
Kurt Sorge:
"I think of it as if I were out looking for a line to film for a movie. I want it to be as big as possible, while at the same time something that will really suit my style of riding and that I can ride my best on. It needs to be unique and have a big “wow” factor."
Darren Berrecloth:
"I come into Red Bull Rampage with excitement because big mountain riding is my favorite. I try to walk around and find weird obstacles that look like fun to ride and link up. Once I start building a line I won't stop until it’s finished, which was what happened in 2008. I wasn’t able to finish my line and actually ride it before finals!"
James Doerfling:
"When I show up at Red Bull Rampage, I’m pretty much going to do the same thing I do when I'm at home looking for big mountain lines: I look for a line with a little bit of everything in it. This year though, I think I want to find a line that is more tech and has more big moves in it. It's a different story when you actually get there and the pressure is on, though!"
Mike Kinrade:
"My approach has changed a bit over the years. I've been finding that the more time you spend building, the less time you have to practice, and realistically, any rider can, and usually does, come along and ride the line you spent all your time working on. Right now my approach is to see what has been pre-built and try to find a line that I can dial in and practice. I want to find something very unique but I also don't want to spend a ton of energy building something for someone else, unless they want to help
. Let's all work together and have a shit-ton of fun!"
Garett Buehler:
"I'm looking for a line that has a variety of things, based on the judging format. Something that’s fluid and smooth, but also has amplitude and big air and has the tech factor as well. I don't want to spend too much time digging, a mistake I made in 2008. If I have any doubt in my mind about a line not working, I won't even begin working on it. With the time limit, you really need to have 100% confidence that the line will work with minimal build effort so you can get on your bike and practice it."
