Video: Ice-T in the desert

Tom Isted, aka Ice-T, just rolled up to the desert! Up until now, the 32-year-old's been a big name in the bike scene mostly for going all-in at slopestyle events like Crankworx and sending huge flips at freeride comps like Darkfest. But at the end of August this year, Tom found his name on the rider list for Red Bull Rampage. While some might have been surprised, it’s really just the next logical step in the rapid rise of this Brit from southwest Cornwall. Over the last few years, he's been crushing it. Now, we’ll see how Tom holds it down on the big bike in the desert this Saturday, 12 October.

Wondering what bike Tom will be riding, how his arrival, his first shopping mission, and his first ride in Utah’s gnarly desert went down? You’ll find all that in his first vlog.

In his second vlog, Tom takes us straight to the contest location and presents the line he’s currently carving out of that soft Navajo sandstone with his dig-crew Conor Macfarlane and Joel Anderson. One thing’s for sure – Tom ain’t here to hold back. That’s pretty clear when you check out the massive feature at the heart of his line: Working with Tyler McCaul and his dig crew, Tom’s putting together an absolutely mind-blowing canyon gap.
