Well said. Rampage IS a different animal these days and, going solely off of
the current competing athletes' statements, fighting both inconsistent judging
and just to stay alive are the main draws for rampage these days. How is that
fun?
When the current high-level, super-human athletes are the first people to
begin using hashtags such as #fuckrampage, I would say a much closer look is
owed by all outside parties, and that includes former athletes and bike media
alike. Lacy and Brandon gave excellent views on the subject and their opinions
are just as valid as Romo's -- this bullshit habit of dismissing the people we
don't agree with is going to fracture and destroy our community. It's time to
have real dialogue without criminalizing anyone.
