What is Rampage now? Brendan Fairclough, Ben Deakin and Olly Wilkins breakdown Red Bull Rampage 2023

Olly, Bren, and Deaks are back in the truck on route to the airport post Red Bull Rampage. 
On this episode of Drivetime Bren takes the lead in dissecting what Rampage means to him and why he keeps returning to the event, whether party trains should even be possible at Rampage and explains how the event has evolved over the years.

The lads also question whether Beinvenido Aguado deserved his low score, reflect on Gee Atherton's huge crash and potential winning run. They also share their experiences building/riding the battleship feature alongside Szymon Godziek.

Brendan talks about why he decided not to take his second run and gives props to Olly and Deaks for their incredible efforts in building his line throughout the week. 

The conversation takes an intriguing turn as the gang speculates on whether Red Bull gives preferential treatment to their own athletes on the live feed. Plus, they uncover the secrets of 'lad science' when it comes to building features for these epic challenges.
