Red Bull Rampage 2014
After a week of dust, sweat, rain and heat Rampage came down to a couple of minutes of magic from Spaniard Andreu Lacondeguy. There were some pretty massive tricks thrown down but the smooth run with a super technical start gave Lacondeguy a score of 95.25. Cam Zink took best trick with a massive 360 on a line that Semenuk went for too but didn’t land as smoothly. Lacondeguy didn’t take his second run as the score was high he seemed confident it wouldn’t be beaten. Zink took home second place for his run with Semenuk in 3rd, Kyle Strait in 4th and Brett Rheeder rounding out the top 5. After all the weather on the new hill and digging lines from scratch it was good to see this bonkers event go down smoothly. Graham Agassiz sat out finals after a crash and there were some other big offs but nothing too bad.
Van Steenballs
They should have a biggest balls prize at Rampage and if they did the prize would have gone to Tom Van Steenbergen. The 73ft Canyon Gap had been flipped in practice and during the event, Kelly McGarry over shot in practice then came up short for finals. Van Steenbergen took things to the next level and went for a FRONT FLIP on the 73ft Canyon Gap, he looked good coming into the landing but hit the downslope and got sent forward and his suspension compressed fully and sent him forwards. He was ok and if he had landed better he could have been on for a massive score for sure.
