Graham Agassiz out of Rampage

We just received the unfortunate news that Aggy won’t be competing in Rampage this year. After a huge crash last year and bad run with an injury laden couple of years, he’s making the wise decision to take some time and get fully recovered so he can charge into 2018.

Here are the words straight from his mouth:

“There are a few things holding me back at the moment in getting redemption after last year, and it honestly crushes me inside to be held back like that. It’s been a bit of a nightmare for me after I got injured at the Fest, Black Sage in Bend Oregon back in April. 

I’ve been battling with pain and injuries going into this one but I think this time is different. It’s just not ready for where I need it to be an event like Rampage. This has been one of the hardest decisions I’ve had to make, and I apologize to those I may be letting down. There’s a lot that goes on behind the scenes and I feel I need a break from it all. 

Rampage will forever be my holy grail. Hopefully we can get a new canvas again next year and I’ll be back! Till then, I have a couple of projects planned for this fall to cap the season off, but what I’m really looking forward to the most is some really needed soul shredding with friends and family.”
