| 0:00.0 | I cannot believe what's going on right now. |
| 0:07.8 | Tom Van Steenbergen has spent his career pushing the limits of what's possible on a mountain bike. |
| 0:13.7 | From massive free ride lines to some of the biggest and most unforgiving features in the sport, |
| 0:19.3 | he has built a name as one of the most |
| 0:21.7 | fearless writers out there. But nowhere does this show up like Rampage, an event that's as |
