 Totally deserved - lets hope he gets some fair judging this year when he goes to the States to compete.

 Yeah I thought pilgrim was excellent at crankworx last year but the judges seemed to think otherwise... I love pilgrim, he's the boss.

 He'll be done when the big mountain stuff crops up.
Actually, it's up in the air, and I'm glad he's doing well!

 correct me if im wrong, but with no rampage this year, I cant think of any 'big mountain' events other than chatel mountain style . . .?

flag TheGoose (Jun 6, 2011 at 9:27)
 as they held rampage in 08 and '10 i'm guessing it will be held every two years, and i suppose that makes it seem like a more epic event

 rampage will be hapening this year.2008 to 2010 was the only 2 year break. before that they just didnt have enough interest in it to mkae it worthwhile. after last year there is no way they wont run it.
