Red Bull Rampage - The Evolution - Standings after first run!

Posted: Oct 6, 2008

Source: Ross Measures

Just got a text from Ross out in the desert heat and after the first run, your Red Bull Rampage leader is Kurt Sorge and Thomas Vanderham is sitting in second, and the Cedric Gracia could be in third but the load speaker was hard to hear over while up on the hill. They are all heading back up the mountain for their second runs to see who will take home the big win at the 2008 Red Bull Rampage - The Evolution.

Here are shots from practice and qualifying to check out:

Check back for the winners list later and Ross will get us all a nice update later on tonight too!

flag cdavis (Oct 6, 2008 at 15:50)
I'm fully aware of that, smartass. Look at his feet. Berrecloth rides right foot forward. That dude is riding left foot forward and spinning right, so it isn't a switch spin like Berrecloth does when he 3whips. Also, that's not a Specialized and he's riding what looks to be DeeMax. I'm pretty sure it's Michal Marosi.

would not suprise me at all if it was barrecloth at all.

if you have enough time to see how far there foot is up on the pedals, then you have way to much time on your hands, and instead you should be riding a bike.
