[Gallery] Red Bull Rampage – Practice Heats Up

With riders and diggers still burning the midnight oil and running a bit behind on builds, practice has been somewhat limited even as of yesterday with just one more day of digging and a short practice session just before finals left. Here are a handful of shots from Wednesday…
