ICYMI, Red Bull punched itself hard in the face a couple weeks back by releasing the invite list to the upcoming Rampage free ride event. This list contained no women, despite Red Bull cancelling their Formation event, which was devoted to the best women free riders. So, 2023 is cancelled for women’s free ride.

That’s an exaggeration of course, but it’s been a real PR disaster for the company with seemingly endless money to pump into sports.

This video is just a reminder of how good the best women free riders are at the moment. Spoiler alert: Really f&$#ing good. #LETTHEMRIDE

Robot fell in love with cycling watching the older neighborhood kids ride wheelies down the street. It was the early '70s, and Evel Knievel was jumping motorcycles over buses. Everything seemed possible. From that moment, the die was cast (iacta alia est).

He studied philosophy in college, of course he did. That's what idealists do, romantics, kids who think there must be a better way. At the same time, bikes were carrying him everywhere, delivering all of life's gifts and surprises. Occasionally he crashed and didn't mind.
