I attended all 4 of the past rampages. Each year, I couldn't believe how big the drops were that were being landed. I shot video and also bought the dvd collection. All that I can say is that you would have to be there to believe the stunts that these guys pull off.

My friends are going down tonight. They are hauling a bike for me. I have to work tomorrow though.
I'm looking for a ride to Virgin - St George area tomorrow evening or Friday morning. I have an ad at Craigslist, but it can't hurt to mention it here...
I can contribute for gas. If you're going or know someone going drop me a PM or an email: don_ferguson (at) yahoo (dot) com.

Sweet, got any more?

about 140 more but i'm not going to go through them tonight.. i've been standing out there for 7 hours and i'm sunburned. :roflol:

so i'm going to take a shower and call it a night.

PS. 140 more are not that inpressive.. in most cases just a blurry dot... i'm not rich enough to have a telephoto lens and fast shutter crap... i got an old digital camera.

sorry to disapoint but redbull will have some sweet photos uploaded soon.

:2thumbs: nuthin better than the RedBull Rampage!
I talked to Cam McCaul at Interbike. What a nice guy. we swaped injury stories and I got his signature on one of his posters. I never thought to ask him about the Rampage though...too star struck I guess :haha:

Insane. I have never seen anything like that before.

I went down with some buddies (well, I met them there; see the hitchhiking thread (http://www.bogley.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=14188&start=30) for my TR).
Rain on Saturday so after checking at the venue parking lot for any news we had coffee and breakfast in Springdale then rigged up some tarps to stand under while playing horseshoes in camp.
Sunday we did the breakfast & coffee thing in Springdale again and then headed for the venue. They wouldn
