Tom Isted on Rampage rookie experiences, insane canyon jumps, state of slopestyle and more

Tom Isted is back in The Ride Companion studio!

Tom Isted sits down with Olly and Davi to talk about growing up in Cornwall and transitioning from BMX to MTB. Tom talks about the huge crash during the 'Panning for Gold' edit. He discusses what it takes to actually get an invite to Red Bull Rampage, bike setup for the event and why he chose 26" wheels and why he selected Joel Anderson and Connor Macfarlane for his dig team. Tom also recounts finding and building the BFC canyon with Tyler McCaul and reflects on how his record-breaking Darkfest backflip impacted his career. He reveals what his second run at Red Bull Rampage would have looked like, breaks down the rider protest at Crankworx Rotorua, and offers his perspective on the current state of slopestyle/Crankworx.

Tom wraps up by talking about his plans for 2025 and much more...
