Think it's more he is in a different competition to everyone else. Most other lines were pretty sculpted, but the tricks are nuts. That front flip drop was bonkers.
But bren is the only one going off the side of that cliff and you can't even see where his line is. Also, the jump onto the rock and the drop off it were not that 'hard'. The key was the insane building ability to first see it, and then craft the perfect near vertical kicker. Then add on that while not that hard, it's mega exposed and that should count for a lot more. And it just looks amazing and is different.
Rampage has become the biggest test for the slopestyle crowd - so that's still something, but it's a shame that true freeride has been priced out. If he doesn't get invited back next year (only the top 8 guaranteed) then freeride rampage is over I think.
I was just pleased Brendan stuck his run, (and back flipped the canyon). I think one of the commentators said it, he just made it look too easy and routine.
