Must Watch: Dylan Stark Goes Huge in 'Stark For Rampage'

 lolsAF hucks bike off a massive cliff + tuck no hander and doesn't crash or die.

"bike handling skills are visibly lacking"

 @WasatchEnduro:

Ya - the run-ins, landings and run-outs were sketchy. That no hander was mental, but the bike handling skills were lacking when you look at the other riders in rampage.

 @skimtb1: get off your couch buddy way too high standards here

 Get out of your armchair and go for a ride.

 maybe it was the music, but it felt old and a little bit crap. good luck to the guy. i turned off after 1 min 50.

 the heel-click-less heel-clicker was a bummer. there were a few clips that seem like they should have given another take.

 The rules are simple, if you tuck nohander the Moreno valley gap that nobody has stepped up to hit in 20 years, you get a Must Watch tag.

 @brianpark: So was the last guy to try this the one who cased and blew up? I cannot recall anyone else attempting this.

 @brianpark: valid

 @Daver27:

Daver seeing as we're close in age I would have thought you'd recognize the obvious NWD-style edit.

#Dylan4Rampage!

 @scotteh Very talented rider no doubt, but I agree with you. I think there are other riders who deserve rampage entry over him. Sure, he has flatspinned some big jumps, although most of the tricks he did in this video were on smaller (relative to rampage) jumps. His landings on anything sizeable are generally quite harsh/ juuust holding onto the landing. I mean, he landed half way down Wade's drop, and then when he tucked it, he looked like he barely kept that together. If he did that mid course at rampage, I think he would be out of control and off line real quick. I don't need to see anything similar to Paul Bs incident in 2015. Could he make it down? Yeah definitely, but others have proved their big bike skills well beyond Dylan's level. Rampage is all about being very precise and composed with controlled risk, and his riding definitely has more of a "f*ck it and send it vibe".

 @leon-forfar: You do know he was in Rampage last year, right?

 @suspended-flesh: Yup, and he got last place out of the completed runs. Like I said, he can make it down, but there are other riders who deserve the place in Rampage more than he does.

 @leon-forfar: Fair enough. As mentioned, he was injured and he also dedicated completing his run in memory of his recently passed father and was focused on making it down and not into the judge's hearts. Maybe that will doom his Rampage future but I think he deserves another chance.

 @WasatchEnduro: I did yeah, but those were pretty sketchy, thing have moved on. Ballsy trying those drops, but didn't do anything for me.
Good luck to him anyway

 SoCal is relatively flat? Relative to Tibet?

 lol SoCal is most definitely not flat

 @jimjoy666: as far as elevation gain and loss goes for given square milage?? Don't confuse hills for mountains.

 @vonroder77: You should consult a topo map.

 @Eatsdirt: I have, lived and worked all over the state for quite some time. Very familiar with the trail systems down there, my comment was in regards to big freeride types hits that one would use for a Rampage entrance video.

I remember an interview with Wil White a number of years ago he ran into similar issues in finding local terrain he could use to train for Rampage.
