The dust slowly starts to settle as the fans and athletes make their way down the rocky and sandy cliffs of the southern Utah desert. The music is pumping and the Red Bull is flowing like water. The celebration has started with high fives and congratulations all around. There are feelings of relief and excitement in the air. Stoked fans grabbing autographs while exhausted athletes taking in the feats that have been accomplished in the past few days. All the attention now turns to the podium; the winners are being announced. In third place, Darren “The Claw” Berrecloth, in second place is World Cup racer, Gee Atherton, and the winner of 2010 Red Bull Rampage is Cam Zink. And the crowd goes wild. As well as winning the event, Zink has also taken home the Best Trick category for his massive 360 off the Oakley icon sender.
