<b>Armed with big hats, a cute assistant, and a looooong tape measure, we took to the Rampage hillside in search of the biggest hits.</b>

<b>If it looks huge on camera, you know it's huge in real life.</b>

<b>The Red Bull canyon gap measures 73-feet and is every bit as big as last year's. It's one of just three wood features on the hill.</b>
Slide Caption
<b>Guess whose? At 36-feet from the lip to the landing with a deep cliff below it, this move requires serious commitment.</b>
Slide Caption
<b>You guessed it. Brendog is not afraid to hide his size.</b>
Slide Caption
<b>Gap, land, gap, trick? You'll have to wait and see wait Brendog may have up his sleeve when the judges are looking.</b>
Slide Caption
<b>Newcomer Nicholi Rogatkin guinea pigged the Polaris RZR hip jump earlier this week and was the first rider to put his tires in the dirt. 46.25-feet.</b>
Slide Caption
<b>There are a few ways into the Polaris RZR hip jump, but this is biggest. 50-feet out, 16-feet down.</b>
Slide Caption
<b>It's Army dude approved.</b>
Slide Caption
<b>A handful of riders are pointed towards the massive GoPro stepdown, including Mitch Ropelato, Ryan Howard, Makken, and Kyle Jameson. 22-feet down, 49.5-feet out.</b>
Slide Caption
<b>Hopkins will soar 38-feet over this drop into the GoPro stepdown. The landing is clear down at the sand bags.</b>
Slide Caption
<b>As is to be expected, Cam Zink has some big plans. It could be the move that seals the deal on another Rampage podium.</b>
Slide Caption
<b>After dropping 44-feet, that steep landing will help smooth things out for Zink.</b>
Slide Caption
<b>Just seconds into their runs, Graham Agassiz and Andreu Lacondeguy are going absolutely huge with a 40-foot drop. Brandon Semenuk will use the landing to the left and a more technical take off for 30+ feet.</b>
Slide Caption
<b>Here's what Andreu, Aggy, and Semenuk are looking at from another angle. It's large.</b>
Slide Caption
<b>Expect to see Nico Vink and possibly a few other riders completely sideways off this hip. The landing is just to the left of the lip in the background, 44-feet away.</b>
Slide Caption
<b>Paul Bas and KC Deane mean business with their 50-foot canyon gap. Just wait 'til you see the line behind the ridge that leads them to this point. It'll make you pucker.</b>
Slide Caption
<b>Brett Rheeder and Kyle Norbraten will take off 28-feet above the diggers in the upper right. Glimpses of Robbie Bourdon, Cam Zink, Kyle Strait, Thomas Genon, and Pierre Edouard Ferry's lines are also visible.</b>
Slide Caption
<b>Here's another 50-foot move for Andreu, Nico, and possibly others. The landing has taken dozens of hours to complete.</b>
Slide Caption
<b>Will the size of these massive features have an influence on the judges scoring, and will it be enough to land the riders in the hot seat? Stay tuned for more insanity from the Utah desert.</b>
Description
Ever wonder how big the riders go at Rampage? If it looks huge on camera, you know it's huge in real life. We took to the hill armed with a 100-foot measuring tape in search of some of the biggest moves.
