Antoine Bizet's Second Place Run - Red Bull Rampage 2016

 no different to shaun white's olympic runs where he won on the first lap and just lip slashed his second run...

 you must be too young to realize how dangerous this competition is. there is no comparison whatsoever to declining a second run and killing time in a direct opposition sport like football. not like it needs an explanation, but when you kill time in football, you keep the opponent from improving their score against your score. by not taking a second run, it does nothing to affect the ability of your opposition to improve their score, and in fact, it helps your opponents by establishing that this is the only score that they need to beat. by semenuk declining a second run, it means that he was content with the run that he had completed, and is willing to win or lose with it. perhaps he did not feel it could be improved, perhaps the competitors crashes affected him, it got windy, whatever it was, it was his decision to roll with his score. the expectation that you have for him to take another run is ludicrous, and in my opinion your view is usually held by a spectatiing vulture- you know, the person who is there only to see the carnage. perhaps the "attitude" of the winner is focused on realizing his goals, and self preservation- how selfish.

 @obee1: No offense taken in stating your opinion, and I find internet insults/fights useless, but no "spectating vulture" here. Like I said, I respect him and I know that it is within the rules not to do a second run, but I think Rampage is not like any other slope style/freeride competition where points of tricks/runs are perfectly prepared, measured and programmed. I think it is more of an "adventurous" (if such a word exists) competition.... and yes: with a lot more risk. In any case BS won, he was also the people´s choice (people even voting before the competition started...), but it is fair to say that he left a colder impression than some of the other riders, Bizet included.

 @Davichin: with the risk of repeating myself: Seriously? In this exposed terrain I wouldn't do a second run if I didn't need to. Think about it...

 @MrEtnie: I will not take the risk, I will repeat myself: I respect him.
But that does not mean I don´t prefer riders´ attitudes like Bizet´s or MacFarlane´s who just did not quit. I am sure my point is clear from the beginning (and there is no reason to keep on going) although obviously not shared by Obee1, you and others; no problem with that.

 @Davichin: fwiw lacondeguy was the people's choice leader before the riding even took place. But your targeting semenuks "attitude" is boring and redundant. Every competition he enters/ wins has people lament his " colder impression" or other ridiculousness. The fact is, semenuks on another level that very very few riders can match, and we are lucky to have him choose this sport to participate in. He approaches the game with a cerebral and calculated attitude, and that's part of why he's so much better than the rest. His lack of goofiness for e camera reflects the concentration and focus he works at. Appreciate his riding, and realize his approach is determined and professional.
