The brutal facts: After falling 18 metres, Clemens was thrown over the handlebars, rammed his shoulder into the ground and tore his shoulder ligaments - a rather minor injury considering the height of the fall.
In 2024, the fearless freerider took part in the Rampage again, this time breaking his hip during training. Bad luck again! But the Rampage chapter is far from over for the likeable "Viennese". His motto: "I'll be back" - and when he says it with a Viennese inflection, it sounds like Arnold Schwarzenegger.
The fact is, hardly any other professional freerider has exactly the skills that make Clemens Kaudela the ideal Rampage candidate: Courage, almost limitless airtime potential, tricks and plenty of experience as a trail and jump builder.
Only a US truck is a real truck, everything else is a toy.
Flat, low berms in the bike park make me want to vomit. High & steep is the motto!
If I have to laugh at the sight of a jump because it's so sickly big - then you've done it right.
Fête blanche, all in white? No way, I can't handle that.
If there's one celebrity to meet, it's Arnold Schwarzenegger!
My new credo: If in doubt, aim for the bush!
I'm rooting for Andy Kolb in the World Cup, if only out of patriotism. But also the young maniac: Rónán Dunne, because he always rides at the limit - super!
Red Bull Rampage? Nah, I've got maximum pulse at check-in at the airport!
Whether in terms of cubic capacity or building jumps - I believe that more is more.
Watching series on Netflix? No, that's not really my thing. I usually fall asleep as soon as I switch on the TV.
I recently went to a concert for the first time. I went to see the Scooters. That was soooo cool. I've missed out on concerts and festivals so far in my life!
