[Rampage] Qualifying Action Gallery Madness

[ad3]
After a couple days of solid practice and guinea pigging, qualifications came up quickly at Red Bull Rampage. It was glorious for some and a nightmare for others. A huge heal up to Jeff Herb, Nico Vink and T-Mac. We’re unsure if T-Mac will make the finals but we’ll keep you tuned. Herb apparently had a compound fracture somewhere on his leg and Nico has a busted foot after attempting his line which was hands down the gnarliest feature on the entire mountain. Here are the goods from yesterday for now. Stay tuned for finals.

R-Dog heading up for his first run.
Steezing a drop like this is a good way to make the cut. Congrats on making finals R-Dog. Send it today buddy!
Classic Wil White.
More classic Wil White.
Kyle Jameson dropping BOMBS! Huge opposite 360.
Doerfling charging in his typical big mountain style.
Big no hander on the YT sender for Doerfling.
This photo does it no justice. One of the gnarliest lines on the moutain. James Doerfling greased it with a busted and gashed open hand. We’re bummed he didn’t score higher.
Nico and Nick getting the number plates on. Nico joked about how it reminded him of the world cup days.
Big dog gear.
Bernard Kerr missed his first run due to mechanical issues but sent it right down the heart of the mountain like a champ.
Pierre Edouard Ferry was one of a few who blasted down a pretty burly, mostly natural section. This was heavy.
Tommy G – ridgeline vibes.
Remy Metaillier looking racy.
Sam Reynolds has cracked some jokes about how gnarly this event is but he’s been smiling the whole time.
Sam is definitely smiling after greasing this massive superman.
Bizet qualified second today. Largely because of this flip.
Louis Reboul. Same jump, different lens, different angle.
Rogatkin. 5 minutes after a 40 foot dirt plunge. This kid is quiet and tough – earning his stripes.
And one more for R-Dog.
Everyone is pumped to see T-mac come back strong.
He definitely came out swinging. 3rd in qualies after greasing this massive drop.
As the sun started to set, riders reconvened for practice in the cooler weather.
Brendog – 1 foot contact patch to land on and about 60 foot drop on his right. World Cup precision. It’s insane how non-challant he is.
Intern and Semenuk. What a dream team.
Brandon clowning down the hill. He wasn’t allowed to ride his upper line because the medical staff were all tied up hauling carcasses off the mountain.
Sam Reynolds. Made qualies – back up and practicing.
Jeff Herb – moments before a horrible crash. heal up big guy!
Brendog – big mountain slashing.
And Brendog – making pancakes on big hips.
That’s all she wrote. Tune in in 2 hours.
You’re probably thinking we forgot about Aggy. Nah – we didn’t . He’s a monster…first in qualies and hungry today.
