Brendog for the win, homemade course, innovative and high risk. The best ride I've ever seen 🤘

[BraMKJ]

Hats off to all the riders, but Brendan and Bienve deserved more than they got.

[rrrico]

You just have to ignore the judges and enjoy the absolute INSANE riding by everyone 🤯

[dieselhrt]

That front flip alone should've gotten Alba on the podium. That was the gnarliest trick of the contest by a mile....and dude stomped it twice.

[edh]

For me Brendan deserved the win because of the ridiculous line and Bien deserved second because of the ridiculous trick, where the judges got a 95.0 for Cam is beyond me, not to take anything away from him he’s still a great rider. I also think Kyle coming back after his crash last year deserves some recognition.

[Jonnypratt]

How did Brendog not make the podium Never mind 1st…. I honestly don’t know what the judges are judging. Speed, technical difficulty, exposure, tricks, flair. ??? All these runs where crazy but there is reason why there was so much build up for brendogs line…. It was one of the most exposed, big, technical lines on the course, and not only did he nail it, he tricked it. 🤯🤯🤯. Number 1 in fans minds and hearts. 🙌

[sapinva]

Brendog was the best. Ballsy, creative line. Flawless run.

[KptnHaddock_]

Bienvenidos run was a rollercoaster on every possible level. What a legend, forever 🔥

[AiTeee]

79 for the Aguado's run is hilarious. What a steal, sincerely. I don't understand how this works.

[James-otog]

I'm sorry, Cam Zink is a legend but Brendog deserved to win. Insane line, genuine free ride. The judging is a joke. Genuinely gnarly line with serious risk.

[fespo]

How is it possible that Brendog and Bienvenido aren't even on the podium? They had the gnarliest line choices and biggest sends of this whole event. @RedBull: Please overthink the judging system as a whole. Rampage doesn't deserve winners or "loosers" which seem to be determined randomly (that's how it feels as a viewer).

[jailbreak]

I will remember Brendogs journey for the rest of my life. I had sweaty palms a whole week. Nobody else dared the line he saw, built and nailed. You robbed him and destroyed a phantastic rampage with your cheaters in the judge box. What a shame!

[paulhoffmann]

brendan and bienve should deffinutely have a podium.

[Andy-mqyv]

Brendog should have taken this. Completely agree that this event is so different it should be free from judging. If they all had the same course, then judge it, but otherwise it should be a showcase event

[JUANKOOR]

Aguado makes history with his FrontFlip and the jury gives him 79 points🤣

[lemagreengreen]

You know watching this back and listening to the commentary you realise that Zink won this event before it even began. No surprise that Fairclough turned down a second run, the fix was obvious with that score.

You can bring entirely new stuff to that event, pull it off with style and try and move things forward but why bother risking your very life when they make it quite obvious that it's judged on very different criteria to what they say.

[deedontworry]

Brendan Fairclough should've won it! That run was absolutely INSANE! 🔥

[JamieW]

Bren should of won this, again bren lost out when he was clearly had the better lines

[casestudymtb]

Why does red bull hate Brendon? His crew deserved the digger award and not a single highlight oh the battleship or the gap made it into a reel?! What the hell?

[englishtothebone]

Did anyone else hold their breath for brendogs canyon gap LEGEND
