Welcome back to the dust storm...
Slide Caption
What's Tyler McCaul's plan of attack?
Slide Caption
High speed ridge gaps are the name of T-Mac's game.
Slide Caption
This line is not for the faint of heart.
Slide Caption
After landing this beast, he'll fly over to a few more sizeable gaps and the big hip drop near the bottom.
Slide Caption
He says it's all about speed, but these shoe gators sure ooze some style. Haha! (Run them on Sunday, T-Mac!)
Slide Caption
Kurt Sorge's run will incorporate this drop to double. It looks fast and flowy, perfect for his style.
Slide Caption
Further down, Sorge will launch into orbit off the Oakley Icon Sender.
Slide Caption
After a good warm up jump session at the bottom, Brendan Fairclough and crew hike up for a first go on the upper part of his line.
Slide Caption
He says it's gnarly, but he buttered it the first time he rode it. World Cup skills meet freeride.
Slide Caption
Here's Brendan's gap from another angle. Can someone please pick my jaw up off the ground?
Slide Caption
Gee Atherton and Stevie Bell have also created some very sizeable hits. He'll transfer from the top right to the bottom left of this photo.
Slide Caption
Gee's line from the side. Top right to center to bottom left. It's huge.
Slide Caption
Sik Mik demonstrates part of Brendan Howey's line.
Slide Caption
Mellow? Yeah right.
Slide Caption
Kenny Smith peers down a super steep shoot that Howey will likely ride if things get windy. It's always smart to have a Plan B in place.
Slide Caption
Who's watching Lyle?
Slide Caption
Kyle Strait went down today, but he got right back up like the champ he is.
Slide Caption
Garrett Buehler spent more time airing this jump than anyone else, so we're guessing it's part of his master plan.
Slide Caption
James Doerfling eyes up a rather large step down. Expect to see some rowdy stuff from this character.
Slide Caption
Greg Watts is back in a big way, and he has a rad line that takes him down the side of the ridge to the left.
Slide Caption
See the lip way at the bottom? That's where he's headed.
Slide Caption
Brett Rheeder isn't afraid of the quarter pipe, and he threw a few flairs today to prove it.
Slide Caption
"Hey Sorge, is my drain plug still there?" - Claw
Slide Caption
Nestled into the hill behind Fairclough's canyon gap rests part of Brandon Semenuk's line.
Slide Caption
Semenuk will launch from the top right.
Slide Caption
Aptos meets Rampage in this line. Nice work, R-Dog and crew.
Slide Caption
Zink spent a good part of the day working on the run in to the big canyon gap. He'll come straight down from the white part in the top right.
Slide Caption
Anthony Messere has his wits about him for this contest, and we're excited to see how it plays out. We hope there's a big left hand hip involved, just like Crankworx.
Slide Caption
Obligatory sunset parting shot. They're surprisingly easy to come by.
Slide Caption
See you tomorrow...
Description
The Red Bull Rampage is a truly unique event that allows riders to pick and choose their very own lines down the mountain. With a massive cliffside canvas to work with, the options are seemingly limitless. Curious what everyone has planned, we asked some of the pros to walk us through their lines. - Photos by Brandon Turman
