Brendan Fairclough, Olly Wilkins and Ben Deakin sit down to preview Red Bull Rampage 2024.
On the episode the lads talk about their previous Rampage experiences and what they’ve been doing since last years event. Brendan talks about his first ever Rampage, how incredibly unprepared he was and why he really chooses Olly and Deaks each year to help dig his line. Brendan also shares what he’d look for if he was a judge, why the battleship was so terrifying to ride, learning flip step downs and has he ever actually felt like he was robbed of a result.
The lads also decide what they’ll buy if Brendan wins, there’s exclusive news on the release date of DEATHGRIP 2 and much more!

BIG THANKS!
Let’s go lads – sending the mana your way
Love Redbull Rampage! 👿
So buzzing to watch every video you do over the event!
Love you boys all together!
The three of you sat in the van at the end of last year with the burger hats on!!
Have a great time!! ❤
Muscle and Brains…. absolutely brilliant
Please do live feed segments of dig days bants 🫡👊🏼
Big up boys, Good luck!
Absolutely brilliant episode!!! Can’t wait for it 😁
The build up to the event is the best
Do you have a link for the death grip 2. Premiere in Laguna Beach
I’m really looking forward to Drive Time. All the build up really makes the main event a better experience because I’m much more invested.
I really appreciate the content especially as you’re fitting it in to a hectic schedule. 🙏👊
Can't wait for this, thanks for taking us all along 😄 Good luck!
Bren needs a piercing button 👇
Good luck boys.
Looking forward to seeing these body piercings and Matching tattoos 😂
Felt like an hour of the Deakinator staring me down 😂
No In and Out for Healthanator
Luuuuuvly juuuubly 👍✨
Good luck boys! Can you use a cordless hammer drill? Just seems better than the sledge hammer olly was using last year😂
Watched every day last year. I had a really bad mtb accident and I couldn't walk for 4 weeks. You guys got me through it. I'm back on the bike again. I'll watch every day….. Good luck guys
Jeremy, Captain Slow, Hammond
Leeeettttsssss goooooo
Whos this "Deakins" fella
In content terms alone, you boys are the winners. Looking forward to the next few weeks.
Deakin has 1000 yard stare in this episode.
I hope both UK teams will be wearing TRC boonie hats?! Looking forward to the new season of Drivetime with the British burks and Lad Science Docu-series. Have you tried zinc oxide tape to save your hands? 🤘❤️🌈🕊️🌍
Getting off the hoes. They are a hard habit to kick!!!
On the subject of bling for Bren if he won, as Rampage is the Super Bowl of freeride, do winners get a ring, and if not, would be cool?
All the best for this one lads! Proper looking forward to it 👊😁 RAAAAAAMPAAGE!!! 🎉
Rampage is one of the best events of the year. I buzzed off watching Brendog, deaks and Olly's building last year. Good luck chaps 🤟🤟 Oi! Oi!
Are you returning to the scene of 'just roll it' this year? Still one of the my favourite moments.
Just broke off to watch Brendog's 2019 runs. Epic, loved watching the build last year can't wait for this year
The Drive Companion surely!?
Everybody knows the "winning run" last year wasn't really the winning run. I hope they sort the judging out this year
I'm so jazzed that you guys are back at Rampage. Your line is always unique and makes the event truely special. Can on actually buy the deathgrip 2 merch ? Would love me on of those hoodies !
Enjoy Colorado on the way! It will be a big change from Utah.
