It’s the nature of judged sports that someone is going to end up unhappy with their score.

Rampage is no exception and “x got robbed” is so cliched it feels dirty to write anymore. Rampage really has put a lot of work into getting it’s judging panel spot-on in recent times and we had Spangler, Gulevich, Bender, Jameson, Vink and Kindrade taking up the clipboards this year. Truth be told, panels don’t get much more legit than that.

Still, with a mountain this size to cover and on-the-spot decisions to be made, you’re not going to please everyone. Some of the riders took to social media to air their grievances about their scored and we’ve gathered them up for you here.

Just got a picture of the Rampage judges that can explain a few things about what happened on friday… What do you think?! #likeandshare ⚠️????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????‍♂️ #illuminati #sylvaindurif #vibes #joke #dontworrybehappy #judgmentsport #respecttherules #respecttothejudges their job is probably as hard as what we riders do. … It’s better to make fun of what happened. But #frustration is really here tho #bizetgotrobbed
