2010 Red Bull Rampage is Done
Rampage has once again struck a blow for keeping the mountain in mountain biking. I wondered if the only big mountain contest would turn into something of a trickfest. This year proved once and for all that speed, amplitude, flow and creativity can go toe to toe with tricks. Rampage was nearly one by a rider who tricked nothing on the course – but that didn’t happen.
While Cameron Zink’s whole run was solid – it was this move that won him the title. This shot is from his unsuccessful first attempt. The landing zone begins with the dark patch of soil in the lower right hand of this frame. Photo ~ Morgan Meredith/SRAM
Cameron Zink topped the podium by nailing what is likely the biggest 360 drop ever ridden onto dirt. The rest of his run was solid but he won Rampage with that one audacious move.

I must sleep – but here are a few images to give you some preliminary flavour of the event.
