[Music] welcome slop style fans we have a big day in store for us today for the eighth year in a row we find ourselves back here in beautiful inbrook Austria a spot that has become iconic so many historic moments have gone down here on this course and the battles that are shaping up here for our 15 men and seven women are probably going to write some history as well I’m your host C call alongside Alan cook and we are right in the middle of stop three of four on this 20 20 24 crank Works World Tour and I got to talk about this guy right here David godik it was just a year ago when he backed Emil Johansson into a corner forcing him to drop for a second run Emil took the win of course Emil’s dominance has gone un shook for the past five seasons but at the last stop in cansas Australia one man knocked em Johansson off that top spot and it was David godak yeah it was definitely an impressive uh performance out of David godak one of the things that I not the most out of that was how much Emil loved that be that situation being in that situation I think he’s fully embraced that he’s not expected to win now and he’s looking to send some stuff to rela reclaim that first place it’s true we see Emil Johansson love the pressure he says all right I’ve been dominant put some pressure on me make me perform let’s look back at can’s because David godc we knew he had it in him he had stacked up so many second places it was just a matter of time before it came together here’s that run yeah David godak had it an unbelievable run from top to bottom in cans doing incredible combinations multiple tricks there you see just nonstop from top to bottom and absolutely perfect on every single landing and then this The Landing or the last jump he was able to do it the three whip cashy well with the men’s field we have years and years of data knowing who our Front Runners are and you know these battles that have shaped up over the course of the past five seasons of dominance from Emil Johansson but when it comes to the women’s field there was a lot of question marks for G what who are the top Runners going to be and you know what are these tricks going to look like so first women’s slow style competition took place in March in Rotorua New Zealand and this woman right here Rose to the occasion just carrying that energy from the hometown roro New Zealand crowd and she really set the bar for the rest of the season yeah such a special day not only for Robin herself but for the women’s category you know to see her step up to this challenge at her hometown with all the pressure have to step up her runs all the way through you know the Riders were jumping positions from run one to run two and then this the vibe everybody was just so stoked the crowd the Riders the organization it was an awesome day so everybody in the slop style World went all right women’s slop style is a thing and it’s an exciting thing a rider who wanted to get involved in the action on road R but couldn’t because of injury was Alma wig Burg she watched Robin gobs take that win she said all right it sure looks like you need some rotations in your run so she added those rotations with variations and Alma wiger emerged Victorious just 3 weeks ago in cans and now we find ourselves in stop number three and we got a real battle heating up yeah and it’s super competitive you know just one few weeks ago in K Robin actually bumped up and went into first right before Alma’s last run the last run of the competition and then she pulled a run with multiple firsts for the female category rotations it was unbelievable competition to see them just stepping it up slope style world champion overall standings Robin gos taking the win at stop number one Alma wiger taking the win at stop number two so that’s got that puts Robin gos as the the rider to beat at the top of that that leaderboard right there when you add up the points and we always love following these standings and trying to predict who’s going to win it’s just fun we usually bargain between ourselves and you can do that as well check out the Ray companion.com it’s a fantasy league for crank Works we’ve got it for two

Bel is [Applause] well we’re truly in the thick of it right now this is stop number three of this four stop series and we’re right in the Alps for the eighth year in a row beautiful inbrook Austria pretty unique place in the world it’s it’s very rare to find this Urban living atmosphere with such proximity to high Alpine Terrain and Mountain recreational opportunities and it’s been a great stop for the crank Works World Tour and we talk about it all the time but you know the memories we have from this slope style course are part of the reasons why this is such an iconic venue and we’re so excited to return every year slop style course similar to last year let’s see what it’s looking like in this 2024 Edition with this GoPro course preview hello my name is a Johansson I’m here with I’m tomad and we’re doing the GoPro course preview for twole slop style 2024 follow along let’s do it let’s go for a little LP with Em start us off a nice little foot jam oh my God what a guy yes boy sick one well nine trickable features there and 15 in the men’s field seven in the women’s field the big question is after watching so many days of successful practice what tricks are these Riders going to choose and will they be successful in linking them together with the pressure on a look at our women’s start list Alan yeah we got a couple of new faces Kathy Kyper is actually coming out of retirement to come here and do this event super awesome to see her out here looking forward to seeing what she can do on this course Caroline Buchanan we’ve seen her we’ve seen all the other Riders out there it’s Lisa Marie Blanc she’s also a new face someone I just got word that she’s been riding mountain bikes for 1 and 1/2 years and now she’s on the biggest stage in the World Imagine That pressure I mean it’s a big deal to have women slop style a lot of these Riders are just excited to be a part of this Caroline Buchanon is one of them she’s so accomplished in so many different disciplines but she decided to refocus not pay attention to the queen standings on this 2024 season and just become a slop style competitor she’ll be third to last to drop and of course the rider lead in the series Robin gos will be the final to drop it’s a best of two format after run number one we will get them back up and rck them and reverse starting order with the highest score going last but as you mentioned we’re going to kick off today’s competition with Kathy kypers I love that story you know she’s competed in so many disciplines in her career and you said she always wanted to be a part of slop style but she thought the timing wasn’t going to work out for her yeah yeah when they were first kind of you know she was really a big part of the movement to get to this point and it was kind of looking like 20 26 was going to be when it was going to finally happen and that just looked a little too far out but it got fast-tracked at some point and here we are in 2024 and she could not miss the opportunity and it’s so awesome to see her get that wild card go go do an event get a wild card and be here to have fun she that was what she said it was cool she’s like I’m just here to have fun today we’re looking forward to watching her have some fun right now kicking off this competition here Kathy kypers yeah just that huge drop in right there these features are huge some of the biggest features that we have on the world tour as you mentioned big blind step down coming into these hips it’s one of the unique things as we work into these riders that are doing rotations these hips they change those rotations for them just that little bit Kathy making a clean run getting a suicide no hander off that last set she said she was here to have fun that looked like a lot of fun to me CAM yeah it’s great take care of the perspective from Kathy kypers just so excited to be a part of this discipline for the women you know this is going to take off in 10 years it’s going to be crazy to see what kind of tricks we’re going to be seeing in this field and to be a part of it right now when she thought she never would be able to I mean taking off on features that are as big as this second feature in front of these fans has to feel good yeah absolutely but you know what I saw her kind of warming up some bar spins and stuff between practice and this first run I think you know she just got the Jitters out right there I’m I think we might see some more stuff but look at the size of the Gap right there so Kathy Kyper kicking off the show for today finishing things off with a suicide no-hander of course the name of the game is having the ability to trick all nine of these features so she has a smooth one in the bag and plenty of room to improve for run number two [Music] but you’re right especially when it’s your first time competing in a discipline you just really want to get one in the bag cuz it’s a type of scenario that can snowball if you have a crash on run number one but now she’s got something to to kind of fall back on in a little room to experiment in run number two as we take a look back up to the top of the course where we have our next Rider preparing to drop the youngster out of France Lisa Marie Blanc you know it’s not easy to earn points to get an invitation for these competitions you have to prove yourself on the lower tier events she got a first place at the outdoor mix Festival a second place at the Dury dirt contest in Poland she was fourth at the Burell bike fest and now here she is an inbrook on the biggest stage this sport has to offer Lisa Marie blonc another jump yeah going huge over that first jump keeping it smooth again like you mentioned just getting through those first runs is so important for these first timers getting a nice tobog in there on the second hip smooth over keeping her momentum that’s one of the things that can snowball you case one jump and you slow down that compounds all the way down and a huge back flip on the left side hold on to it least the Marie Blanc sends the back flip on the last jump and just barely holding on to it that was awesome all right well we’re ramping things up here take a look back at this run from Lisa Marie Blanc just look at the size of those transitions between the landing of the step down in that first jump it is massive that’s a thing to consider here you know like last season this did not exist women’s slop Style on the Diamond Series these jumps are gigantic just to make it through I mean take your your list of riders in any lift line at a bike park how many of those Riders what percentage would actually bite off the task of dropping in top to bottom here this flip almost over rotated yeah she got on the brakes right there was going off the back end and got bucked almost over the front end but was able to muscle it rear break and hold on right there yeah never even touched the ground so not sure how much that’ll take off of her score so after two stops previously this season we’ve seen that where the level of competition is is if you want to be on that top spot you have to have at least one rotation in your run so Lis R Blanc accomplishing that goal next in the gate though take a look at who we have Elma wiger the winner of the last stop and you know what she knows what it takes to win we caught up with her about run one strategy this is what she had to say I just tried to like get my run in the first goal um and then I guess I like adjust the second round if it’s going good I maybe do something different in my second round and try to do like something harder or otherwise just keep it safe and try to get the first run well she knows that this formula Works Allan she did two rotations in her run they both had variations in them this is run one you want to be relatively safe to get something in the bag what are you expecting from her in this first run you know ELO was battling a little bit of soreness uh from a crash earlier so I think just like I think her plan is is spot on you know getting through that first run maybe not leaving it all out there but just getting through let’s see what she’s got nice big backflip on that huge entry jump so looking really smooth right here doing a nice tobogan see what she’s got another flip on the hip looking really clean right there little bit of a dead air right there but she’s keeping her momentum going up onto the whale tail little table off into the final jump what does she have come on and there’s that 360 perfect rotation right there and this if this is her just get a run done we’re in for something special on run number two which is exactly what she had to do you know it was interesting hearing her talk about her strategy right before her final run which she was the last competitor down in Camp Robin gos was able to one up her and put her in second place but she had those extra tricks in store which I believe she does at this point as well walk me through this cam well you hear us get excited at a couple points in this run this was the first time she backflipped the biggest jump on the course that’s obviously going to score high when you consider the previous run we saw backflip the smallest jump on the course you want to start strong you want to end strong we were expecting her to have some kind of rotation on the last jump but I was not expecting this right here Alan yeah we were not expecting this flip on this hip so you actually have to rotate she’s flaring a little bit 90° to make her Wheels come around and catch that transition and be pointing the right direction for the next jump which is actually a hip the other direction so super technical spot to throw in that flip variation and look at the trick list there just racking up the points along the way down so you heard us get excited right here the final jump the reason is right before the competition started we saw her go for this but it didn’t go as clean as we see here did it yeah she she was able to to fix her mistake you called it out cam she needs to drop her shoulder she came around a little bit front end high in that warm up and slid out but she did exactly what she needed to do we’re waiting for the score right now if I’m a bet man I’m going to say this is going to go into the lead of course it does 8 9.75 is the new score to beat from Alma wiberg and you know what she talked about strategy in that sound bite and her strategy was perfect in practice last practice run going for that 360 crashing it and fixing that mistake when the pressure is on Alma wiger was the winner of the last stop and is now the one to beat as we take a peek at the next ride out ready to drop an update for all of you Harriet Burbage Smith fans she is unfortunately not going to compete she had a crash in practice but we do have next up into the gate shayen Reno she was fifth at the first two stops she’s very consistent she has some of those upright tricks which can score high if they’re technical enough yeah she’s got a deep bag of straight tricks right there no footed can can one of the routers that we saw upping her game in each run at the previous events this season looking really smooth no foot can that’s the other direction I’m not sure which one was her opposite but one of those was nice Knack Knack getting it toban now what’s super important here Cam that I’m seeing is she is tricking every single obstacle and getss a nice stretch nothing on that final jump tricking every single jump along the way down and that is going to rack up the points that will go a long long way for that overall score I would say if you’re not going to rotate then you better trick every single feature and knowing what she has that she can pull from in run number two this is going to be a great run to sit on and expand upon in run number two we saw her with a pendulum in cans yeah a pendulum is actually when you do a no foot a can which is that trick right there and then you kick it back across and do another one the other direction before putting your feet back on the pedals but what was interesting is she then stepped up her game on this next hip watch nice tuck no hander in then she does a t a downside no foot can which is her opposite I believe so she’s doing them both directions on different jumps so I think maybe we might be seeing that pendulum again and with that Comfort she has doing those tricks both directions she’s shown us she has the versatility to can can both ways she showed us in cans she can put them together in one jump and I got to say if I’m choosing which direction to do a Can Can on a hip I usually choose top side it’s it’s definitely harder you see her Landing a little bit sideways with that downside Choice there on the no foot can on the hip I like that looking really steezy on the way down she did a great job of putting filler tricks in on some of these smaller features and then ending with a really technical combo right here the nothing I’d say she’s going to get good points for that because she got both hands and both feet off she probably could improve upon the style a little bit you don’t really want those legs going forward but she’s shown us at the last two stops that she’s really good at stomping run number one and then improving upon that run number two you just heard her say it right there yeah moving into second place right there already in the second R incred first r already thinking about stepping up so I’m excited to see what she’s got well what has she not done on to Wheels she’s a two-time queen of crankworks she’s a BMX racing Olympian she was the Bronze medalist at the first stop in Rotorua she was fourth place at the last stop in can’s Australia her home country let’s see what she can get on this second jump right here she was working on a big extension move in practice can she put it together yeah here she goes on that first jump we saw her working on some stuff see what she’s got and getting it off right there the Superman SEC grab Indian stepping up her game even from our predictions suicide no hander down the step down that is completely blind takeoff tuck no hander on the first hip Tu noer another tuch no hander on the other hip so able to do it both directions X up onto the whale tail oh looks like a little Bobble there and then a Superman seat grab on that final jump so locking in on those Supermans gets a nice little Knack Knack on the quarter pipe maybe only one opportunity missed with that hand Bobble but really really solid all the way down well we see the formula here at Caroline Buchanon used to hop on the top or in the third step of the podium in roroa and she can rotate we’ve seen her o nice extension it was actually an Indian air she crossed the legs there yeah stepping up from what our prediction was we thought she was warming up for just a plain Superman secb which is what she did on the final jump but stepping it up to that Indian air definitely steps up a level of technicality and then really clean on these tuck no handers on the hips hips don’t lie and then right there it almost looked like she did a clutch adjustment on her motorcycle not sure what she was going for right there but then able to get that super man SE grab off we’ve seen better extension for sure so definitely some more to come back with so she has a formula right now it’s working for her with a third at the first stop a fourth at the second stop but we have seen in speed and style in the past she does have rotations she has what it takes to to rotate right here but there’s different strategies that can put you on the podium she’s really leaning on this strategy of filling up all nine features with a trick you mentioned missing a trick on only one feature it was the step down on that whale tail feature which is the wooden structure you jump into and then jump out of but I’m really curious to see where this score is going to Sol stack her up in the rankings the judge has taking a little bit of time on it because you have to weigh this out if there’s missed opportunities for a trick in a run that had multiple rotations well what means more many points to yeah it’s definitely a tough call and also one of the other things that the judges might be looking at in that last replay we saw came up just a little short on that Superman seat grab I don’t know if she lost a little speed because of that Bobble on the step down but when she did get back on but was a little bit short and actually got bucked quite a bit forward did a little nose wheelie but was able to hang on to it we know that Caroline probably one of the fittest women out here trains incredibly hard for this so every push-up coming into play well sitting in third place right there we know that even if she does that same exact run in run number two and she extends those tricks more and polishes it up she could potentially move up the rankings depending on what everybody else does and by everybody else right now the last Rider to drop and run number one is the current leader in the slop style world championship series for the women Robin gos the first ever gold medalist in crank Works World Tour slop style for the women she took that gold in roru New Zealand at stop number one she took the silver at the last stop in Australia and she’s on course now yeah Robin with a nice X up on the drop in big back flip on that first set let’s see what she’s got on this step down suicide no hander Landing really smooth high on the transition able to get nice pump really nice height and extension on that lazy leg nice can can there and she’s racking up those points tuck no hander up toog down so she’s making it happen right here on the last set was that a flip bar orp X up X up and you know what that’s exactly what needed to do she almost missed the trick coming out of the whale tail and if that was the case she would not have tricked all nine features but she was she was able to muster out that tobogan and she needed a rotation on that last jump but you know putting a little spice on it with a variation on that backflip never hurts we saw her do that back flip X up in Australia yeah watching here looking how clean this backflip is pops really high in there you see her head come around spot The Landing a little over rotated but not too bad at all plenty of speed for this next jump talk to me a little bit cam I know you flip a lot talk to me about how you slow down that rotation when you look around the first time you see the landing it’s a little bit too soon well you got to make your body big increase your rotational inertia and we saw her misjudge a back flip earlier in the week in practice and so we know she’s really like down to push her limits we saw tried to backflip the dirt to dirt step down she misjudged the speed and the snap and ejected fell out of the sky we weren’t sure if she was going to compete today so we are so excited to see her on course and she judged the rotations on both those back flips absolutely perfectly today I can’t wait to see a replay of the back flip X up on the final jump we’re going to really be able to see if she got those bars all the way around to 180 here it is sneaking out that toboggan yeah right here into the final set leaning back exing it up gets that bar across the seat and see she straightened out her body there to slow down that rotation I would say she’s doing a back flip variation right there it could have been a little bit cleaner the X up wasn’t completely full you want to see that front wheel those handlebars all the way 180° turned around but you’re not seeing anybody else out there doing back clip X up so what will the score be the score to be 89.7 and the numbers coming in from Robin gos there we go 94.5 Robin gos takes over the [Music] lead that’s a huge jump right there in points and I think we can attribute that to tricking every jump along the way that is so important to not have any Mist tricks down the track Robin you tricked all nine features you had a back flip variation on the last jump you’re sitting on a 94.5 you’re the rider to beat right now talk me through the earlier practice sessions in the week we saw you have a big crash on that dirt to dirt step down what was it like getting back on the bike man honestly I was so shook um I got really freaking stocked I like just took the step down flip to dirt um it went really well for me and then the next day I went to link it into my run and it just didn’t work out so this morning I back got back on the bike and I was pretty nervous but yeah I just wanted to have a run that I was having a lot of fun with so I think I did that well we were so excited to see you on course cuz that was a question mark for us we enjoyed watching you have fun congrats on that 94.5 you got the score to beat thank you what a run there I mean she is solidifying herself as the rider to beat of course she’s not Flawless in her rankings at the first two stops but she’s racked up enough points to be the leader of the slowy world championship series and she’s the leader after run number one here in inbrook a 94.5 but Elma wickberg with that back flip and that 360 she’s biting at the heels yeah so here’s the thing that’s set up this is the opposite of the situation that we had in cans where Alma was the leader and Robin had to one up going into the second rounds we know Alma’s got more we know Robin’s got more but another another layer to this situation is both Robin and Elma are the only two women that are up for the Triple Crown with two win they each have a single win so not only are they battling for this win but they’re battling to stay in that Triple Crown hunt can’t wait to see how this shakes down well of course this is The Big Show out here this is the biggest crowd we’ve seen all week but there’s been so much fun the past few days hanging out here in the venue there’s no shortage of things to be a part of and if you’re not able to be here at the venue with us the best way to make yourself feel like you’re a part of it is to follow crankworks inbrook on Instagram follow the crankworks Instagram page and we’ll kind of we’ll limit your fear of missing out by showing you all the ction going down here we’ve had all these different disciplines we’ve had dual slom speed and style we had the whip off Big Show right now slop sty but we got pump track coming up later tonight all the fans are having a blast out here at the venue but the Riders as well they show up early and you got to make the most of your time when you’re in a beautiful location like inbrook let’s take a look at what these Riders get up to outside the tape [Music] I think gbur is absolutely lovely it’s like you have the mountains you got like Rivers Al for biking there’s Hills on every side and trails and dirt jump spot skate parks and you name it basically everything you need I guess it’s got one of the most iconic backdrops ever to wake up you just have those epic views and it’s as I said it’s the postcard backdrop absolutely spectacular I always feel like this one in Whistler has the most amount of fans they’re always right there on the sidelines I really love that my favorite memory was Brad reer and nicolar gkin battle when they went like back to back and both stepped it up the score coming in for Brett reer 95.66 it is not enough Nikolai ratkin is your Champion here at crankworks inbrook probably one of the best events I’ve ever watched and there you have it first competition for the ladies you it history being that was an iconic moment for women in sport [Applause] unbel unreal we’ve had some really epic moments here in inbrook let’s go it is bit sweet final time coming back to inbrook but this time yeah today VI women’s slope style here in front of the audience yeah I think to see all the girls last year have a taste of the course and do practice Yeah it’s amazing this year that girls will be doing top to Bottoms over the years it’s been amazing to see inbrook really flourish the tricks got bigger and every year the runs got better and gnarlier and I don’t know I just feel like the sport is definitely progressing here crank works inbrook I think to me has has been the moment in my queen of crank Works titles where I’ve really elevated yeah just [Music] Epic [Music] Cool a lot of memories out here for the past eight seasons in crank quirks inbrook in great conditions today thank goodness after the schedule switch up swapping Saturday for Sunday the winds are calm as we take a look at our men’s start list okay anytime we’re going to start a slop cell competition and the first riter to drop is Nikolai Rakin you know you’re in for a good show yeah Nikolai definitely sets the tone of the event once he drops in it seems like everything goes crazy and to have him as a first drop in that is not totally normal can you explain to me what led to that with the point situation well the way these invites work it’s it’s kind of a complicated scenario but it’s built to help the Riders there is a a points freeze if you have an injury remember we saw Nikolai reekin break his wrist in cans in the 2023 season that has been longer than 52 weeks ago and that is the timeline that those points freeze situations exist on and so he’s low in the points actually right now even though he had a fourth place in cans it’s not enough to get him up into one of those top spots to be dropping later in the competition so he will kick off the competition out there today the last two Riders to drop though will be of course David godzak and and Emil Johansson yeah David gak and Emil Johansson to drop BL is going to put so much pressure here in the crowd and I’m so excited to watch them execute Those runs and have have this whole place explode that’s exactly what’s been happening the past eight years here anytime Nikolai Rakin takes to this course the crowd does explode he has so much history with these fans of course big moment in 2018 taking the win his battle with Brett reer was legendary and then a second place in 2021 during his battle with Emil he is a crowd favorite to say the least he has the fourth most crank work slop style wins in history his last result was a fourth in cans he picked up right where he left off here we go alen yeah one of the things we can expect we saw him warming up was the Twister on this first huge double we know he’s got big tricks on the drop in that’s going to be the Telltale thing if he can get this drop in smooth look for something big on that first jump nice 360 exin lands in the right spot what we got and there it is that’s that 1080° rotation AKA The Twister big cork s on the step down double tail whip on the first hip cashy X up on the next hip superb Superman C grab up bars been back flip down coming into this final set double and he nailed it a huge double back fck straight to the tires and finishes off with a double tail it that was a solid way to kick off this competition here in inbrook Nikolai saying yeah that was okay cuz you know what he’s got inside his head is nuts ladies and gentlemen what a great run top to bottom there from Nikolai reaka not only a great way to start off this men’s field but you know he had doubts in in the back of his mind after so much time spent off of the competition circuit healing that wrist and when he came out to cans he proved to himself and everybody else that he could pick up right where he left off and he’s doing it again here in inbrook yeah we see him kind of disappointed if we could maybe go back and look at something that he did on this it was a little bit further down here when he’s going up to the whale tail but right here he is on point doing everything to plan a perfect 1080 corked rotation over this massive jump we anticipated to see it and he executed perfectly take a look at the hips right here I was saying you know what this double tail whip was so lazy and perfect which is going to score execution points from the judges but this might be one of the reasons why he’s shaking his head he has so much time there he might have been thinking triple but you know what there’s always run two what else do you think he’s shaking his head about let’s see ah yeah right there that’s Superman SEC grab up that was supposed to be a Superman SE grab one-hander for the the only item on the bike that he’s holding on to is the seat really technical but he’s able to recover mentally get his trick on the step down and then this an absolutely perfect double back flip I mean the bread on this sandwich is pretty bang or a 1080 up at the top of the course a double back flip to finish things off you see this reaction here we know you have more in the tank Nikolai we’ve been watching you for enough Seasons so going into the whale tail that Superman c crab not only could he improve the extension on that but he’s got something in his back pocket to add to that Superman c crab as a variation as well yeah we see it down here xcept there Superman SE grab one hander not not a back flip bar oh yeah Superman SE grab one hander two back FP artsman out the Superman c crab was what he did but what we want to see is a Superman crab one hander not feeling on did like a double whip inste of triple super like didn’t do the super seed so I was like I need to embody the confidence 85 let’s go I can improve on that I’ll take let’s go well any speculation we had about what nikolai’s thoughts were from that run we didn’t even have to do a headset interview we got all the thoughts right there so he’s got multiple areas in his mind where he could make up that is amazing so coming at you from the alternate list here today unfortunately Max langel with an early morning practice crash out of the competition making room for the number one alternate Ben Thompson the youngster 21 years of age from BC Canada oh yeah spent plenty of time up at Whistler as a kid I remember him from way back then at joy ride last year he was the rider of the day fan vot and here we go yeah Ben Thompson going huge right here front flip no hander to barspin flip double barspin on the step down gets a cranking got his speed truck driver to downside tail whip straight into double tail whip on the hips flip bar up man this is a clean double truck out come on oh just misses the 360 double downside whip on that final feature no man he was so the whole way it’s such an insane mental challenge to be on the alternate list all week and then get word morning of finals that you’re going to be into the competition oh I didn’t even see the fast plant I missed that right there fast plant 360 down right into this front flip no hander to Barson and the control on these hips now you guys hear us talking about hips what that means is the jump is not totally straight it’s an angle from lip to landing and there’s two of them back to back one goes left one goes right now what that does is these Riders are as good as they are because of the repetition the amount of time they put in doing these tricks and when anything is different it adds a level of complexity and them having to almost relearn how to do the trick on the course so on those hips they’re either having to over rotate or under rotate just a little bit with those spinning tricks those tail whip tricks it’s really really technical riding out here here I would have loved to have seen what the score would have been if you were to have stomped this 360 downside double tail up to cap off this really clean run with the exception of this final jump but we’ll have to look forward to run number two from Ben Thompson to see if he can pull it all together a lot of transfer there pulling hard off the lip 45 leaving plenty of room for improvement there for run number two from Ben Thompson is on yeah you know the SE guy got a text they they woke up they know he’s riding they’re going to come back and watch that second run for sure well what’s the story with slop out in 20124 well I would say 15 Riders and no slouches when you got Nikolai reakin and then an alternate in the form of Ben Thompson who’s at such a high level and then you get Max Frederickson a rider who’s been on the podium in slope style recovering from a crash at the last stop and rallying to make it here in inbrook starting with a bar SP tail tap up there nice little one foot invert three on the drop in double tail with back flip and comes up a little short slips a pedal but he’s able to maintain with this next jump right here that he does a double truck on being a step down you can use that to your advantage if you’re low on speed downside double tail up there flip barin to tuck no hander so we know it’s not exactly what he wants but he’s keeping it going three down we know he’s got more [Music] there oh finishes it with a triple truck driver so that’s a quadruple combo four tricks in one a 360 with three separate barans I I think he squeezed four in there was that four and you know what if it was four it’s so similar to last year’s run number one he had things that he could have improved up top but he kept going and then snuck in that quad truck at the bottom here’s a look back at the top of the course ooh mistake started here yeah he was a little bit short on that I’m not sure what happened with his speed he went so high sometimes when you’re doing flips you can over pull up you can pull back a little bit and it’ll affect your trajectory going forward not sure if that’s what happened there but this is where he started to recover a little bit looking really clean on that back flip barsin and Tuck no hander was it not a slow rotation on that for a second I thought he was going to come in too nosy let’s count these bar spins two three and four absolutely amazing quadruple truck driver I remember cor tour in 2000 when I saw the first quadruple truck driver ever and now it’s a thing that Max Frederickson has done at the end of a run as an improv trick two years in a row out here in inbrook you got to consider we we saw Nikolai reaken drop a banger of a run with some room to Improvement we saw Ben Thompson second Rider drop with the crash now Max Frederickson with plenty to clean up from that run he got to be sitting in second place right now but the judges making sure that they come up with the right number here knowing that there’s still 13 more Riders to drop there needs to be room for them all to be ranked accurately a 69 for Max Frederickson yeah let’s not forget that this is actually Max frederickson’s first run this season out of crank works unfortunately like you mentioned having to sit out from that uncharacteristic practice crash on the quarter pipe of all things was able unfortunately had to sit out in cans so that was actually his first run so getting the Jitters out maybe a little bit I expect to see him a little more on point in the next run well speaking about coming back we have not seen this next Rider Alex Alano since the 2022 season he’s fought his way back to the premier series here the crank Works World Tour is where all the diamond stops in the FMB World Tour take place he has been on the podium he had a third in New Zealand in 2019 it’s great to have him back let’s see if he can capitalize on this opportunity big bunny hop double truck driver into a front flip Tu no hander almost over rotating but you saw him open up and slow that rotation down big cork seven on the step down massive trick on that blind jump flipping HIP number one 450 triple bar spin on hip number two tail whip in flip can can out of the whale tail and flip tail whip looked like he wanted a little bit more on that last jump oh no oh no I’m not even sure that quarter pipe is counting on scores today I heard there was maybe a possibility cuz it was really soft in between there so that might not affect his score we’ll uh we’ll get a word on that in a minute you know I was just about to say a clean top to bottom run tricking every feature until he fell on that quarter pipe I’m hoping that doesn’t hurt his score too much cuz there were some big moments here including this cork 720 almost over rotating here on this dirt to dirt step down yeah and there’s that 360 or 450 sorry triple bar spin he did hang up a little bit there but he got right back on the pedals and maintained me momentum to carry all the way down to the slip bar spin you saw his hand kind of twitched there that tells me maybe he had a bar spin or something he was trying to do after that flip Whip and then just missing the hand his weight getting a little bit behind him so Alex Alano will have to beat a 69 if he wants to go on a second he’s not going to do it a 52.75 definitely getting docks for crashing on that quarter pipe I guess that answers her question yeah that does answer the questions the quarterpipe is in play there today well it’s great to see this Rider back as well the Italian 30 years of age torqua Testa huge crash at Joy Ride 2023 left him with a broken pelvis a long road to recovery he was back in cans but not able to compete because of another injury he sustained filming actually severed a nerve in his bicep area and decided to take a little bit more time to recover he’s definitely still affected less strength in that arm but his best old is a second in New Zealand in 2017 he returned to form last season and here we go he’s on course yeah big commitment with that pull back flip off the drop and oh over rotates that backflip tail up attempt right there he’s limping it out unfortunately there for tqu another rer with his first run of the Season limping it out hopefully we’ll see him back that’s too bad I mean that’s the same trick we saw him Ed to find himself in fourth place here last year I believe that was the back flip no food at can can to tail whip it’s a combo you only see tqu Testo doing yeah that’s insane I I don’t I didn’t remember that happened but after you say that yeah that was I think he’s the only one I’ve ever seen do that combo there it is that pole backflip you’re basically just riding off a diving board blind look like he kind of went for a little bit of a Superman which may have sped the rotation up let’s see what right here oh a little bit of a kick yeah it was hard to tell exactly what happened there you see something well yeah I mean last year we saw him with more distinct extension on that no footed can it almost seemed like he realized right away that his pop was too aggressive off the lip that he was going to over rotate and he was trying to slow it down stall it out get that tail up started early hopefully he learned from that right there and he can polish it up for run number two of course is a best run counts format each Rider getting two attempts as this nine feature course here and a rider who usually fits multiple tricks in on each of these nine features is the strongest Rider easily in this entire field the biggest Rider he’s a powerful Hulk of a human three second places in his resume if there’s anybody who is poised for a win who has not yet earned one it’s this guy right here France is Tim Brer back flip tuck no hander off the drop off double tail of toar spin on that first set okay here we go double back flip to Perfection on the step down 450 double tail whip no pedals oh no oh get on how did he do that how did he save that double bar spin up truck driver down come on finish strong double back flip double back flip in oh my gosh oh man was that an opposite bar spin 360 to downside tail whip and somehow when he kicked the bike it didn’t even move and it looked like he was going to get stuck backwards but he ended up just staying with it and never saying die like that’s a huge flat drop flip variation right there the back flip tucko hander and then we saw him do this last year as well yeah backflip double tail up to barspin I mean he had plenty of time the jump is huge and then coming in here this is so impressive double back flip on the step down when you ride around that burm all you see is a lip and a valley nothing else I really thought he threw it away here yeah there’s that truck driver to downside and he didn’t quite get the kick the way he wanted to he ended up just using his arms to muscle that bike around he got hung up on the tire trying to get out of the way the bike to kick that tail up around and then right before the point of no return he was able to get a little bit of purchase with that right foot on the bike and kick it around I have never seen something look so close to a crash that was stomped perfectly yeah almost reminiscent to that last run we saw of ail last year Something Magic here in inbrook [Music] what do he got on this quarter pipe which we did hear does count for overall judging officially so I counts wait to see what this run scores I believe the score to be right now is an 85 held by Nikolai Rakin this run was packed full of bangers long and the judges knowing it making sure they do the right thing the back flip tuck no hand off the flat drop the back flip double whip to to double flip step down 360 downside whip does it all add up enough to better the 85 of Nikolai reakin look how chill Tim is right now remember what he just did like 30 seconds ago that shows some confidence in his riding and abilities what do you think what do you think I’m going to give him a 90 that was amazing yo Tim you’re score coming in for Tim bringer will it better at the 85 there we go a 90.5 Tim bringer is the man to beat 90.5 setting the tone and the score to beat three Silvers in his trophy chest there’s only one more step to go will that run be enough to hold up we still have some Heavy Hitters to come the next of which is a youngster who we are so excited to see drop into his first crank work slop style appearance he was present in cans but he wasn’t able to take to the course he was still healing up from an a crash on the Gold Series but considering the level he’s on in practice considering the training facility he has at home in BC this kid is going to be somebody to look out for chance more yeah chance looking unbelievably strong and comfortable in practice double truck driver on the step down opens up with a nice double flip perfect rotation cork 720 straight in front tire first 360 450 double tail whip flip bar to- bar this is a solid run 360 can can up flip tail whip down just look how clean everything is is from FP bar to bar yes and then flaring the quarter pipe everything was perfect that’s exactly what I was going to say it made my voice crack I heard that that never happens every single trick was so clean of course the judges have multiple criteria they look at on their scorecards execution is one of them and he really checked that box ruin it by throwing that second bar but you [ __ ] stop that [ __ ] Nikolai letting us in on a little behind the scenes right there Nikolai never afraid to root for his competitors that’s the way this works out here you want to stomp your run but you want to see everybody else stomp theirs as well of course you want to come out on top at the end of the day but all these Riders knowing that this is such a big high pressure moment for the crank workor slopestyle rookie here and man he made good use of this opportunity yeah he did tricking every set on the way down not only with unbelievable variations in his trick selection but look how perfect he lands on everything especially this cork 720 look at this front tire straight in exactly where he wants to go plenty momentum and confidence for that right there the 450 double tail whip and just keeping the tri triple combos coming all the way down some of these moves are moves that were iconic in earlier years of slope style from Riders like Brandon semic things like that cork 720 on the dirt to dirt step down and then this which is coming up out of this whale tail the backflip tail he’s taking tricks that have won crank workor slop style competitions in the past and linking them together in a run with absolute Precision front flip double bman to cap things off I’m so glad he didn’t throw it away here I mean so much Variety in that what didn’t he do like that was impressive from top to bottom and there’s Nikolai congratulating his specialized teammate always happy to root for his competitors as you mentioned the score to beat a 90.5 needing to better a 69 to crack into Podium contention will the judges reward wow look at that chance War rewarded for his precision and flawless flawless execution 93.25% just saw right there the judg is rewarding him for the cleanliness of that run I believe as I was saying everything was absolutely to Perfection yeah they just told us something obviously the bangers of Tim bringer were no match for the precise execution we saw Tim with a minor Bobble in his run and obviously that’s the reason why they like Chance’s run better every trick was perfect but we got plenty more to go here in run number one for the men Griffin pson about ready to drop in best crank RS result a sixth in New Zealand last season currently second in the FMB Gold Cup standings he’s going to take a mulligan on this one yeah a little bit of a hang up there on the quarterpipe you know is that means his head is thinking in front of him I’m looking for a big front flip combination on this first jump what’s he got off the drop in big back flip coming in flip suicide no hander double back flipping the step down coming in little bit of a wobble but he recovers to that oh and flips his pedals that flip downside whip on that first hip that’s where those little technicalities make those tricks so much more difficult on that hip so that changes the rotation it just changes it just that little bit where it becomes unfamiliar makes it so much more difficult so I think chat is going off right now because of course judging can be subjective the bangers of Tim bringer versus the precise execution of chance Moore I am looking forward to seeing a bit of a side by-side comparison of these runs right here what do you think the judges were thinking when you look at this trick list for both these Riders I mean I am glad I’m not a judge that’s what I’m thinking while I’m looking at this but yeah looking at it Head to Head what could be done I mean like I said it’s really only that cleaniness we did see let’s remember in in bringer run he barely made that 360 bar spin to downside tail it and chance was so perfect from top to top or top to bottom I think that’s the only thing I could see really yep you know what it was a 360 bars spin a downside tail whip it could have been cleaner I was just so impressed that he even stomped it I like seeing that sometimes you know on the edge and the ability to to save something that could have gone sour but the cleanliness of chance more right on that same part of the course he had just a clean back flip double bar spin he also had a really well-rounded run where he backed up that back flip double bar spin with a front flip double bar spin on the final feature there we go back to Griffin Paulson here before the train came off the tracks the double flip on the dirt to dirt Ste down he got to the pedals on this back flip tail over the hip which obviously is way harder to do than if it was a straight Jump Hip meaning that the landing is offset and angled from the takeoff that’s all it takes to bring one of these slopes out runs to a screeching halt is one foot coming off those pedals and that’s why the judges reward Precision cuz it’s so hard to keep everything in line on nine features so next Rider to drop right now Jake Atkinson in his second crank Works slope style appearance he was ninth in cans just a few weeks ago let’s see what he can do here he’s got the experience now fo Jam to Bar spin showing his technicality right off the bat right into a truck driver a little under rotated now let’s see if he has enough speed here gets the cash roll and does come up short you could tell right away where he landed off that first feature the big question was going to be is he going to be able to clear the biggest jump on the course which is the second feature if you were to stand stand at the bottom of that jump and look at it and say hey I’m going to cash roll this thing which is basically a front flip 360 it’s a 720° rotation and I’m going to come up short crash but I’m going to be completely fine you believe that yeah so let me walk through here what happened coming off that drop in he didn’t quite have enough speed but what happened is he compounded from the very beginning that first technical trick he did when he popped off the foot jam into the bar spin he landed a little bit low on the quarter pipe and now that made his speed a little bit less than he needed off the drop and to do that you have to pull that 360 to get the distance and when he pulled he under rotated the 360 Just ever slightly and he wasn’t able to have enough speed on that first jump if you like the Corky steep out like the first drop you’re like okay I’m on and then the Corky step out once you land that you’re like okay okay I’m on you the same and then I went a little crazy on super do but like went really far right on the yep here we go Eric fedco looking smoother than anybody in the field during practice today and that’s what the fans know him for they know him for his style they know him for his precision and the judg is obviously rewarding Precision today we’ve seen him pushing his limits today on that second feature of the course that gigantic dirt to dirt double big question is can he get the big variation we saw in practice here with the pressure on yeah we saw him pulling some massive tricks right there a double back flip tuck no hand and we saw him tucking in getting comfortable but it’s game time let’s see if he can make it happen here in front of this inbrook crowd he’s looking comfortable though he’s no stranger seven podiums three second places Eric fedco here we go Bartman tail tap getting into the flow here straight back flip off coming into this big huge first set there it is that double back flip tuck no hinder oh and he misses a trick right there just straight flipping but he’s able to windshield wiper on that hip jump windshield wiper again the other way double truck driver up flip tail whip down this is a massive run and gets that cork s on the final jump coming into the quarter pipe smooth flare so really the only dark spot you could see is on that step down it looked like he was trying to do a bars variation in that flip but everything else was absolutely insane see the emotion coming out of him saw him at breakfast today he was like let’s go I’m ready let’s do this you can see that all coming out right now we wondering if he was going to get this Alan yeah we talked about this double back flip tuch hander and he did it look at the extension absolutely as big as it could possibly be with that extension then watch his wheels watch the timing on this the wheels hit the ground at the exact same time the timing to be able to do that is amazing and there’s the windshield wiper there one way windshield wipers again the other hip that is so Tech the second one he did is the way we see aill Johansson doing it but the fact that he did it with the downside first on the first hip such a well balanced run coming up a little bit short here on the cork 720 if you were to critique this run it’s that moment right there coming up short on the last jump and the straight back flip on the dirt to dirt step down the third feature on the course yeah I’m not sure what he was going for on that step down but we know he’s got more than that straight flip let’s see if we can listen in 93.2 to lead right now that double flip no hander it was such bigger extension than what we saw in practice go the biggest part of that run for me was the hips the left hip to the right hip 360 windshield wipers both directions there was a time when just doing one of those 360 windshield wipers was mindblowing on the final jump when we saw mill Johansson unleash it and now Eric fedco linking it both ways on hips the judges knowing that’s a heavy link and they give it an 82.5 good enough for fourth place right now and fedco obviously hoping for a little bit of a bigger score yeah I mean that’s just tell me how much emphasis we saw this in the women’s field as well how much emphasis there is to not miss a trick now he didn’t miss a trick but we knew that was that he wanted more in that moment and that is the only thing I could see that the judges would be taken into consideration there so Perfection is what it’s going to take to win out here and Lucas Hooper is a rider that can do it Lucas Hooper had a huge moment just 12 months ago when after so many fifth places he broke onto the podium with a bronze medal here in insbrook he was sixth at the last stop in cans he’s got a big move on this second feature as well and there it is the 360 tail whip on the drop in straight into the Twister just under rotating the flip portion of it looks like he got a pretty big hit on his butt there man that’s a shame we saw him stomping that so clean in practice both of us mentioned actually that it was maybe the cleanest twister that we’d ever seen he hooped out he did yeah we kind of expected him to try to link that together there trying to see maybe where it went wrong slightly under rotated on that 360 tail whip on the drop in which is an unbelievably hard trick to do to generate the rotation of the bike to be 360° ahead of your body’s rotation usually you have a transition to really build that momentum and that whip off you get that snap you don’t get that when you bunny hop you have to muscle it and it looked like maybe his front end was a little high slightly under rotated it took away his momentum he actually had to get a pedal in before that twister which we didn’t see him need to do in practice that 360 tail of off of the start feature that flat drop is a big risk big reward move that we only see from Lucas Hooper our current leader chance Mo right there walking on water heading back up to the top our current leader imagine what he is feeling right now the man to beat in his first cranker slop style appearance well this guy is reaching veteran status here Paul cier can he knock chance more out of that top spot right [Music] now Paul cair second place last year in Whistler which was his first time cracking onto the podium most time you see people earning a bronze their first time on the podium Paul kudair skipped that third step can’t wait to see what he has in store for us now yeah podiums can be addictive and Paul cair wants to make it a habit right now what’s he got a bar spin backflip on the drop in straight into a double flip all right now he’s starting off with a couple of huge bangers barin to barin back flip on the step down gets that 720 on the first HP actually it’s an 810 on the hip that opposite cork 7 on the next hip 360 back flip down this is a huge run for Paul cair what going to finish it with 360 double tail it and gu get the single tail up on the quer pipe yes Paul cair absolutely stoked that combination on those first two obstacles flip flat drop flip bars spin first of all straight into the double back on the biggest jump on the course unbelievable run right there that’s one of the best runs of his life and I didn’t want to say anything about it before he dropped in but we talked to him before finals started he said he had a crazy crash yesterday wasn’t sure if he was going to be able to ride today and then he drops this Hammer yeah that flip bar spin drop in right there is going to go huge with the judges straight into that double back flip that shows nothing but confidence skill and control of everything that’s happening on this course I am always so tense in these hips we’ve seen him for years doing the link of the regular 720 to the opposite cork 720 and I’m it’s just like rooting for him to squeeze out the rotation this is the cleanest we’ve ever seen him do it yeah absolutely technicality on technicality we talked about how hard it is to bring those tricks to the hip jumps how it throws it off but he’s doing 720 rotations in both directions back to back on the hips that’s a technicality sandwich cam I was so worried that he was going to throw it away here he did not phone in this last jump he goes for the 360 double tail whip straight to pedals yeah it looks like the arm little Bobble yeah a little tiny Bobble there it looked like on the second tail up his arms got slightly ahead of the rotation and it stalled just a little bit but Paul is no stranger and as you said a veteran out here he was able to recover minor minor Bobble there not sure if that’s going to affect his score too much but we know the judges are looking for Perfection out here today so just to crack into the top three you got a beat an 85 when we watched Nikolai Rakin drop that run and that 85 popped up we saw him excited that it was that big of a number but we also saw him disappointed with his performance he has so much more to add but o look at this the level of competition insane b d slotting into second place with a 91.8 S and now all of a sudden to get into Podium contention you need better than a 90.5 that is an absolute deserving score for Paul kudair right there we were talking a little bit earlier in K I thought maybe he was a little underscored going early in the run there but man that is deserving and fair in what Paul kudair has been searching for way to go Paul kudair as the story continues progress here Tom I said at the top of the course there’s a pattern emerging last season out of the four stops he either crashed both runs or he landed on the podium he crashed both runs here to start the 2024 season in cans I think if this pattern continues he’s ready to get back on that Podium again this course definitely suits his style what does he have for us yeah it’s going to be massive starts out with a flare on the quarter pipe Landing really high keeping this speed up get that corked flip on the drop in massive double back flip the confidence these Riders have to do that starting their runs blows me away massive cork s right into an opposite cork s the rotation on that is bananas back flip tail whip front flip no hander come on get it oh get a air right there into a cash roll the same trick we saw him crash in run two in cans run one in cans oh come on now I don’t want the pattern to continue where did that start did you see a spot where maybe that that that crash at the end might have started as soon as he snapped the front flip into the whale tail you could tell that it was going to turn into a salvage mission till the bottom yeah the flare on the quarter pipe was a risky move because he had a big trick on the drop in but he was able to keep it perfect with his speed straight into yet another perfect double back flip on the first set I can’t believe that’s what I’m saying but that’s what I’m saying this is regular watch the opposite one I don’t think I’ve ever seen a cork 720 quite on the same axis yeah that rotation he’s spinning completely upside down the entire time into the flip Whip and then this next obstacles where you saw maybe a little bit of a hold up coming in under rotated on this front flip I’m just surprised he even made it off his knees were bent he was under rotated and of course he was going to get docked for the dead sailor non-t trick out of the whale tail but like you say Allan this is so reminiscent of what we saw run number one in cans exact same crash on the cash roll on the final jump yeah he didn’t quite have the speed he wanted and having to you know Bend his knees and Tuck up that bike trying to get the thing to rotate around it just under rotated a little bit on the flip part of the spin so now we’re looking for Tom IAD to break that pattern he crashed number one now we need him to stomp run number two as that was a throwaway score o boy this guy the only Rider to beat Emil Johansson since the dominance of Emil started in 2019 he’s on course right now he backed Emil into a corner just a year ago here but had to settle for second when Emil Rose to the occasion we heard from Nikolai reakin earlier in the week if David godc Stomps his dream run here he said oh boy that guy crazy yeah and he’s been thinking about this run since he walked away from cans his comment was he had more this is our opportunity to see it right here here we go this is the moment we’ve all been waiting for David godak on course flip bar spin on the drop in to warm it up what’s he got right here twister no hander that’s a no handed 1080 degree rotation 360 whip down on the step down double tail whip three tail whips right there oh oh no oh going for two bars in the cash roll on the first hip not able to pull it [Applause] off just coming up a little bit short on that spin rotation Landing back tire and bucking him off he’s looking to up the Annie we’ve seen him doing cash roll bar spins on that jump knowing that this is the Big Show he wanted to add an extra bar spin let’s take a look back that right there the no-handed Twister absolutely nailing that the height the extension on the No Hands the rotation coming around perfect on the flip and the spin Landing high on the transition keeping his momentum 360 tail up right there look like he got on pretty fast maybe had something else he [Music] wanted then right there there coming up just a hair short and bouncing no rear suspension on that P3 that he’s riding just kind of bucking him but kind of a new trick right there we haven’t seen out of him cash roll double bar spin on the hip so another [Music] level of difficulty right there and you see him get bucked off frustrating but a safe crash so he will be back feeling 100% for this second [Music] run so the pressure will be on for David gik in run two good to see he appears to have managed to get out of that crash relatively unscathed one more Rider to go here in run number one for the in the Tulie SL style inbrook the score to beat held by the youngster the rookie chance more a 93.25% the other events so um yeah this this course is slop style to me so that’s so good to hear right there this course is slope style to me we’ve seen him thrive on this course over the years some Riders have a hard time with it because the two main trick jumps are hips but Emil Johansson eats that up he’s running 58 PSI front and rear on his Maxis icons and for once we’re seeing him at the top of the course as a rider who did not win the previous stop something we haven’t seen since he started winning back in 2019 dominance like we’ve never seen in this sport three Triple Crown Seasons 13 event wins and only one asterisk which came last stop Emil Johansson as we saw last year waiting on wind all right he likes what he sees yeah the socks looking good so here we go nose Jam 360 can can off the drop in 360 double tail whip 360 tail whip there opposite direction truck driver to double downside now doing it the opposite way with a single tail whip barely staying on course goes for the front flip up not something we normally see misses the tuck no hander there Oppo bar spin was that double tail wh cam I believe it was an opposite truck to tail whip he likes what he sees good [ __ ] my boy we saw a couple miscues there something we’re not used to seeing out of em joh and with these judges judging today they’re looking for Perfection so anyone’s game out here today it’s very interesting to see what the score will be what’s crazy though is you have to consider that these Riders aren’t judged against themselves the fact that we know he has more in the tank is irrelevant the judges are comparing this run to the 93.25% step down yeah on that step that step down there he barely was able to get that around and I don’t know if that compounded into this move right here opposite spin 360 to downside tail up and barely staying on the course right there Landing out in the rough for you golfers to put it in perspective he’s able to pitch his way out of there and get back up on with this front flip missing that techno hander opposite three so that run was so close to coming to an end on the second hip literally inches away from going off course and the judges are going to have to score this for what it is because on paper this is such a huge run it may not be the biggest most technically profound run we’ve seen Emil Johansson perform here on this inbrook course but is it enough to better than 93. from the rookie chance [Music] more OPP TR driver so much technicality in A’s runs with opposite bar spins opposite tail whips opposite spins mixing those in single jumps and technicality like in the case of the start drop the nose press 361 footed can can you’re not seeing anybody else do that so what are the judges going to do with that 360 double whip off of the biggest jump on the course and he is not mailing in that nose press it’s more almost like a nose manual he gets about 3 feet on the front tire before going off the edge that is a good point all of the tricks with the exception of that missed opposite 360 tuch no hander out of the whale tail all the tricks were done with the Precision that you’d expect out of aill Johansson but also Precision is the name of the game today based on what we’ve seen from their score so [Music] far in order to crack onto the podium right now he’s got to be in the 90s in order to take the top spot he’s got to be pass the 93.25% that Podium contention with an [Music] 85 the moment here the judges knew that this day would come when they were really having to take their time with ‘s runs because the rest of the field has risen so high after the past five years of dominance well this is what the judges are looking at right now yeah this is a trick comparison this is the trick list from top to bottom for both Riders right now Emil Johansson trying to beat that 93.25% Emil Johansson’s trig list and this is the kind of stuff that really gets our chat blowing up here a lot of slop style fans with some serious opinions when it comes to the technical opposite maneuvers of mil Johansson a lot of people over the last few years were getting tired of seeing him win but you can’t deny how difficult these tricks are yeah absolutely I feel like we were kind of picking it apart cuz we expect Perfection plent things out of joh see what it is it going to be a 95.2 Emil Johansson goes into the lead that technicality coming through strong right [Music] [Applause] there he knew it you know we watched that run and we went oh he didn’t get everything he wanted but he has this sport down to a science he was celebrating at the bottom of that run he wasn’t shaking his head like we saw from Nikolai reakin he knew he had seen all the runs and he said I think I got that top spot and he was right two points separating the top two scores chance more with a 93.25% [Music] and the men left so many questions for run number two which is exactly where we’re going to pick up right after the break don’t go away it’s time again for 3C freef Falls and pure Thrills in unique places worldwide this is going to be the most incredible season we have ever had Red Bull cliff diving World Series 2024 live on Red Bull TV look at the time from Stevie Smith he takes his first ever World Cup win the making of a legend Stevie Smith aka the chainsaw he was a bit unpredictable he was creative he was wild he did have a great life full of giggles and laughs and adrenaline the untold story of a true champion Long Live chainsaw now available on Red Bull TV really awesomely fun it is run two time here at the Tulie slope style INB and wow I can’t wait to see the rest of this show right now we’re going to pick up the action with the women’s field of course Elma wiger the winner of the last stop in cans she’s sitting in second place right now it’s great to have her in the field after missing stop number one we’re going to find out why she missed that stop have a look at [Music] this I grew up in a small town like a bit south of Stockholm two three years ago I got more more into slope style and then I moved up to Fallen there’s a big biking community and EM lives there and such a good place for mountain biking in general when I was really young around 15 uh my older brother started to ride the bike park and I just tagged along and wanted to like hang with them and yeah and then I started to like yeah find like my group of people that I like to ride with and like got more and more into the slop Side Community everyone is pretty close to each other and that definitely makes a difference to like always have someone to train with all the kids are really good so it’s just very inspiring to see emo is definitely one of them the first time I saw a ride I think was uh 2020 he always has some good input and it’s always inspiring seeing him to ride it’s like a really good environment to practice in and to learn some new stuff so yeah it’s been good to see her progress I went to a pump track competition at the end of 2021 P track have never really been biking I like to do and what I do I just messed up and like went over the bars and my shoulder dislocated I did some like months of rehab that winter and then pretty early in the next season it dislocated again and then a few times during that year so I had surgery at the end of 2022 but then just from jumping in the water it dislocated so it wasn’t even bike related anymore we got another plan for a surgery and I did a surgery uh at the end of 2023 at the moment it feels really good fingers crossed that hols Sweden’s Elma wiger I didn’t had too much expectations when I got there let’s see what ‘s got gets that flip bar in around perfect rotation she’s on one it’s more if I’m happy with my run I’m happy with whatever placement I get toog in right there oh yeah final jump and a 360 to obviously wickberg was gutted to miss the inaugural women’s slope style competition on the crank Works World Tour but she more than made up for it with that win in cans and now she’s sitting in second place after run number one here in inbrook the score to beat a 94.5 held by Robin gos the leader of the SL style world championship series for the women right now as we sit at stop number three of four on the world tour we are going to drop this women’s field in reverse order lowest score going first and then that top score from Robin goom she’ll be the final Rider to drop at the top of the course right now same Rider who kicked off our competition today with a clean top to bottom leaving a whole lot of room for improvement only one trick in that run let’s see if she can dot some eyes and cross some teas this is Kathy kypers yeah Kathy coming back to experience this movement this platform that’s been created by crank works this women slope [Applause] style looking really smooth she said she wanted to enjoy the day getting through both runs is quite enjoyable much better than crashing we saw her get a trick off on the last set she’s comfortable there let’s see what she can bring and goes for the big no hander able to hold on to it Bar’s getting a little Wiggly there but making it happen she said this was going to be her last contest it’s always nice to make it to the finish of your last event right there and it sounds like based on what you learned through conversation with her she just wanted to know what it felt like to be a part of crank work slope style and you know what only one trick in that run but she accomplished her goal yeah that’s a strong thing just to want to know what something feels like saw that video VI back flip in a motorcycle I think that was a similar scenario yeah was that was exactly one of those scenarios well next Rider to drop will be Lisa Murray Blanc from France been really successful on the lower tier events on the FMB World Tour first outdoor mix Festival second at Dury dirt contest with some room for improvement here as well in inbrook we saw her finish her run with a back flip that could be cleaned up a little bit in run number one she’s sitting on a 69 yeah and the most impressive thing about that she’s only riding mountain bikes for a year and a half cam that’s insane let’s see what she’s got for us here in run number two gets a tobogan in over that first set coming into the step down just holding on keeping her movement X up on the hip little nose heavy but able to recover there’s that tobogan on this hip here up onto the whale tail coming out let’s see what she’s got on this last set can we clean it up there we go way cleaner on the back flip there to finish off this second run for Lisa Marie Blanc even squeaking in a little topside one footer on the quarterpipe we know that counts but yeah that back flip was way cleaner if you remember in the first one she over rotated had to fully extend her body grab the brakes get that landing gear out and barely held on to it but that was perfect so that was 100% a better run than we saw from her in run number one she’s sitting in fifth place right now with the 69 what really matters here is the ranking I don’t know if that’s going to be enough to move up the ranks though the 84.5 from Caroline Buchanan which is the next spot on the leaderboard had a whole lot of tricks yeah had absolutely but no rotations this is true such a good thing though good feeling to be able to finish this contest healthy so much confidence will be gained so much momentum for her isn’t that the truth it can be quite daunting waking up the morning of your first crank work slop style competition so you’re right the breath of fresh air she’s able to breathe right now knowing that she made it out of this competition healthy in one piece sitting on at least a fifth place here [Music] yeah the question it answers for her is does she belong here you know coming in and never doing it you don’t know you kind of have doubts you have some questions but this proves that she belongs here getting top to bottom runs something to build on there we go she increases her score to a 74.5 but does not move up in the rankings which is exactly what we expected to see there but a great rookie performance from the French Rider Lisa Marie Blanc looking at this first jump right here this is where we saw Caroline’s highlight of her first run look for that Superman C CB Indian air I think she’s got a little bit more in the tank with some extension I think this is going to be her moment to shine right here on that jump running 40 PSI and the Maxis Pace tires front and rear if she’s going to move up into a Podium spot which she has done before in RoR Rua what does she need right here just increasing those extensions cleaning up some of those things we’ve seen her warming up bar spins before we know she’s got things in the tank we’ve seen her flip in the past what is she going to feel comfortable with laying down here in this second run currently in fourth [Music] place X up on the drop in and then misses that Superman SEC grab Indian air there I’m not sure if the wind blw her she got a little bit sideways it’s going to be tough to crawl back from this one her first run was Act full of Tricks we hoping to see her extend those tricks more in run number two but it’s not going to be the case here yeah she’s got her eyes on the prize you know making that mistake knowing what she has in the tank being able to recover for anything to move her up into the podium position would have been risking too much here today in inbrook so she decides to just get herself down look ahead we still got one more stop on the tour so Caroline will not return to the podium here in inbrook as soon as I miss the super saate India was Lo Dam my first one though yep looking at another Jack did you get a good shot fourth place from her 84.5 earned in run number one and once again gets out of this day healthy in one piece so sheilan Reno right here we know what her strategy is we’ve seen her launch into a pendulum in cans which is the technical upright combination trick with the freestyle Motocross Origins a no footed can to the right and no can to the left all taking place in one jumps worth of air time shayen has an 86.5 right now she’s cleanly hanging on to a bronze medal so already going to be a good day for her can’t she climb the ranks shayen getting that pendulum off right there slips her pedals a little bit will she be able to recover right there gets the tuck no hander off not only recovering doing it with [Applause] style getting that crowd involved on the way down the hill there’s that downside no footed can tobogan up going for the one footed ex up there on the way down there we go able to get the nothing off there so a little bit of a rough start I’m just stoked she went for that pendulum that’s what we were hoping to see from her she went for it definitely a few moments in that run that lacked cleanliness but you love to see her go for her big trick which is that pendulum on the biggest jump of the course yeah with Shen’s trick list a dead sock is mandatory and when I looked at the the wind stock when she dropped in it was absolutely dead still I knew we were going to see that pendulum so awesome to see her go for it that’s the thing that I like out here these women one uping themselves one uping each other look back at this save Alan yeah gets that X up in and here we go boom one way then the other way and then slips that right foot off the pedal a little bit right there I don’t know if she was trying to tuck up the rear end cuz she was coming up little short actually like maybe she was a little bit off kilter to the side had to throw that foot out as a kick T to save it there’s the no foot can one way downside off the hip look at her readjusting those feet perfectly back on the [Music] pedals so you got to give it to her for going for that pendulum and you got to congratulate her for securing a bronze medal here big moment after two fifth places in the first two stops she’s on the podium shayen Reno earned that one and now we get to see if Alma wiger can dig deep grab those combos we know she has we saw her take the win in cans Robin gos right now is the leader in our women’s field she gets to sit and watch Alma wiger attempt okay you see her right there going through the motions that was one of her biggest tricks from the first run in cans this jump right here we saw her flip it in her first run here I think she might be looking at a flip bar spin on this jump which would be absolutely insane we know she has it but this jump is a lot bigger than the one she did it on in cans we know she has it and we know that she’s considering it based on her body language right now and this is exciting yeah she knows she’s got a one up this is not foreign territory she had to do this against Robin Gos in cans come on Elma you got this she can win this competition right here oh and misses the baron right there but a really clean back flip she got a table in on the drop getting a tobogan in so really needing to keep this trick list going there’s the flip Barson right there she tricked us and did it on the hip gets the tire grab in there suicide no hand her up getting a little table in on the way down what she got on this final jump there’s that 360 over rotating just a little bit back tire absolutely explodes but man so cool to see Elma just absolutely send it and go for it that’s going to mean Robin goons your winner here and still going for that triple crown win with her second win here on the season Robin goom secures the gold medal what a battle we have on our hands in the women’s field a game of pingpong goom’s winning stop number one wig ber winning stop number two and then back to gos here in stop number three goom still alive for the Triple Crown but Alma wig BG absolutely going for it you got to love it yeah so cool to see Alma digging down into the bag of tricks we thought she was going for that bar spin here we thought she missed it but that was not that was exactly to plan right there to do that first bar first back flip without the bar spin getting her run going but then a little bit later right here she not only pulls that back flip bar spin but she does it on the hip cam look at that foot just hanging on by the toe so much harder to do that on the hip she threw us for a loop yeah absolutely and then right there a little bit of a stee going in and then she pulls right there she dropped her shoulder but over rotation just a little bit and wasn’t able to hang out watch her rear wheel right here let’s see if we can see it boom sniper from the top deck you know what I just realized she was able to keep that right shoulder smooth keeping it from going over her head look Robin new right there with a gold medal was hers and the Triple Crown is still alive for one Rider Robin gos oh you got to give it to for going for it though you know what that could have easily been the winning run really would have put the pressure on Robin gos forcing her to perform in run number two let’s take a look back at which a run that we can now officially call the winning run yeah something to pay attention to here is the tricks on every single jump she did not leave any points on the track here in inbrook she was able to get tricks off not on every jump even when things weren’t going right right here she got a little bit of a wiggle she was able to make that happen right there that’s San and that could have been the difference [Applause] fully executing that flip X up and I think that consistency with tricks from top to bottom on every obstacle is what gave her the win here today I can’t wait to see where the level of riding goes here in this women’s field we got our Front Runners Riders like Alma wiger and Robin gos also Harriet bber Smith unfortunately not in the competition today but the Front Runners were pushing the limit in this sport it’s just going to continue to rise now in this third stop inaugural women’s slop style season Robin goom will add some points next to her name for the slopy world championship overall with one more stop left to go next month in Whistler yeah just a victory run right here these are so fun when you have it in the bag just enjoying the moment from top to bottom awesome to see her take her second win right there giving us a nice flip in that Victory Run showing how comfortable she is and her peers gr congratulating her at the finish the Red Bull shower got to love it that was I think one of the biggest things that Alma is able to walk out of this contest with is she knows there’s some durability in that shoulder she had a big crash earlier in the week had some question in her mind whether she was going to ride or not today Road absolutely amazing pushing herself having a crash getting up and being durable is what she can walk away with but look it here this is the runs oh the podium is sealed shayen Reno with the bronze Elma wiger with the silver Robin gos takes the gold medal we ring up the top five there the young French Rider Lisa Marie Blanc and Kathy kypers can officially say she knows what it’s like to compete on this tour coming out of retirement just to get this experience erience here but 94.5 as the dust has settled on the women’s competition today was a score that did it for Robin gos Robin come on a game of ping pong here between you and Alma wiger what was going through your mind when Alma was eight nths of the way close to that top spot dude I was so happy happy for Alma like she was crushing her run and I was really excited but as she got further down the track I was like I’ve got to try really freaking hard so yeah I’m stoked what was going to be your approach if she moved into the lead if she was able to stomp that 360 on the final feature well um I was going to try flip can the first jump and add another flip on the middle ramps but to be honest I didn’t really want to well we’re looking forward to seeing what you have in store for us for Whistler one more stop in this world tour you are leading the slop side World Championship points congratulations and soak it up yo thanks [Music] guys well we got run number two for the men coming up and the score to beat right now for the men belongs to the man ill Johansson it’s a 9525 he’s back in position to be the man to beat let’s learn a little bit more about the champ well bikes is sort of my life and it’s always kind of been that way being out of my bike is what I like look forward to the most [Music] no matter at what sort of level of riding you’re at and what your capabilities are we all sort of share the same feeling the feeling it gives you to be out on your bike and try something for the first time or just being able to go out on a trail bike ride in the woods with your friends it’s this thing that still to this day puts a smile on my face like if this is our chance then why I take it we can follow the river wherever it takes us moving on to see what’s there to find we could be like a river come on TR Waters it’s still gives me the same feeling and excitement now as it did 15 years ago when I was just learning to I don’t know jump off a curb or try to do wheelie it all starts somewhere and it’s crazy to look back on where it all started where it’s gotten me now so fun to watch what tricks Emil does on what he would consider a chill session at his home jumps which is groundbreaking runting different than the tricks that he chooses in his slope Style run he chose the right ones to put himself at the top of these standings from run number one he’s got that 95.25% is a score to beat but really all day the story has been about the guy in that two spot yeah chance more stepping up to the occasion coming out absolute bangers I mean you you saw something special from the very beginning of practice in chance you were commenting on it the whole way through and he definitely delivered I was was expecting big things out of him but also if you told me the rider in second place after run number one would be two points away from Emil Johansson I would have thought it would have been David Gody Tim bringer Nikolai raken so chance more on a breakout performance as we rack up the reverse start order of run number two here in the Tulie slope style inbrook 2024 we’re getting our looks now of Jake Atkinson in his second crank Works appearance ready to start run two for the men yeah Jake started his run super technical on the quarterpipe and made a little little bit of a m mistake on that move and it ended up causing him a little bit of a speed issue that compounded and wasn’t able to get through so look for him to step up here he was ninth in his first appearance in cans got some room to improve here in run number two he’s able to pull that trick off again his speed does look better there gets the truck driver Off full rotation getting that cashall around that’s where he had a problem the first time so here we go things going to plan until there maybe a little more on that step down that he wanted but he’s not giving up he’s recovering strong back flip tail whip on that second hip there opposite tail whip up regular double tail whip down hangs up he’s going to need some speed gets pedals in goes for the cash roll and how did he pull that no way what in the world that was unbelievable how did he manage to pull that up a cash roll is a trick that you can give forward momentum to so you can kind of cheat the lip you can short the lip by throwing early but you don’t get the hype in the trick when you do that and he just skimmed straight across landed about 90° under rotated that was awesome I almost thought for sure he was going to be sliding out on that final jump I think that was an improv move obviously we see Riders getting docked for repeating tricks in their run so the Castrol up top combined with the castol at the bottom I think was an improv move somehow able to stomp [Music] it yeah 270 tail it to baren on hip number [Music] one back flip tail up right there tail Up’s going both directions in and out two times around right there but that’s the way had a little bit of a trouble casing it you see him suck up that lip and try to get his momentum across which he does but he’s about 90 de short on the rotation and luck was on his side you know what if it weren’t for finding a soft spot right there we would have seen him slide out just like Tom I did gets a couple pedals in manages to get the flare out to finish it off on the quarter pipe I’m useless I wouldn’t go that far Jake [Music] I’m [Music] alive successful Salvage Mission there for Jake Atkinson scoring a 64.75 you little bit of a sore wrist he was working with there in that second run so Lucas Hooper we saw him go down on the second feature on the course with a trick that we saw him cleaning perfectly in CCE here he comes right here with the Twister a little bit under rotated on the flip side of it that is a 1080° rotation fully corked out so nobody else in the field messing with this trick he does off the start Tower the 360 tail flat drop we saw him do it here last year we’ve been seeing him use that at other stops he needs to clean that plus the 1080 to give us a top to bottom here in run two poopy getting the crowd into it this is where it all comes down to it gets that three whip really clean gets some pedals and goes for the cash roll so he steps down just a little bit but he’s still on Pace for a solid run flip whip down the step down flip web in the other direction holding on to it that was an opposite tail front flip spinning the bars around two times truck up Cork s down looking good for Speed and pulls the double back flip right into the Finish carral 540 truck driver on the quarter pipe not what he wanted at the start of the day but a solid solid run out of Lucas Hooper least a run always feels good he is so consistent and that was a veteran decision right there to go I didn’t land The Twist on run number one I’m going to step it down go for the cash contr taking 1 360 out of the maneuver to simplify and just you know a lot of times in the back of these Riders minds are thinking I need to salvage points and have a successful overall season and a high ranking to stay on tour he knows what it’s like to be on the podium right now he also knows what it’s like to be in the top five and deciding today’s mission was to salvage especially when he landed a little bit less than ideal there midun yeah the Technic gity doing flip whips spinning the Tails both directions on hip jumps front flip bar spin up truck driver up into the whale tail miss the cork s out the importance of Landing where he landed up high makes this possible here at the end because you need to have so much more momentum to generate that rotation off the lip you compress and you load everything into that lip and it explodes off and he managed to get that speed and bring it all the way into the finish carral I mean let’s be real here this is a huge run and I’m really curious to see where it fits in these standings to crack into the top three he needs to better a 91.8 s even though we know he had more in the tank in the same way that the judges had to judge a Mill’s run against the other runs and not against his own capabilities they’re going to do that with Hooper yeah I mean the score coming in for run number two an 87.5 he’s in fifth place wow wow he likes it bumps him all the way up into the top five he was checking a lot of the boxes from the judges that kind of format what we saw them he had technicalities in opposites he tricked every set so Griffin Paulson the next Rider to drop room to improve from run number one obviously all the capabilities to do it his best crank work’s result is a sixth back flip drop in right into the suicide front flip cleaner than his first time around so he’s already bettering his run double back flip down the step down back flip tail whip there this is where we saw him having the problems he’s continuing front flip X up 360 bar SP up front flip down coming in he’s got plenty of speed such a casual double back flip you see him spotting The Landing after the first back flip timing his tuck in and bringing the tires around of the landing to absolute perfection here today huge finish to that run front flipping the step down out of the wh tail will score high the judges know how high consequence that maneuver is and then linking that into a double back flip rookie mistakes on that first run so nerves are high yeah really not even anything to blame him it was foot just kind of bounced off something that doesn’t really happen in that first run but he made up for it here in the second run huge extension on that front flip suicide no hander double back flip on this step down this step down being blind makes it so much more difficult to time that rotation cuz you don’t see the landing when you’re going off speaking of going off that’s what he did the rest of the way down the hill and this is what you’re talking about cam right there look how smooth he lands it barely any head slap right into focusing on the next move which was a perfectly executed double back flip the judges like the double flips especially if you didn’t already do one in your run he did it on the step down up top we saw Tim bringer a little bit docked for that let’s see how they handle it here for Griffin pulson I kind of look at it like a double flip on a step down is different than a double flip on a straight jump but I’m not a judge ladies gentl Griffin [Applause] okay where will this place Griffin Paulson in our leader board a 7725 puts him in eighth place looks like he’s happy he says he’ll take it Canadian Griff pulson so in the first few runs here in run number two we’re revisiting riders with crashes from run number one one of the most notable derailments in run number one was from this guy here the winner from the previous stop in Australia run number one came off the tracks pretty early in the run here here we go yeah un fortunately run number one was going amazing right here went for the cash roll double bar spin something that we do not see out here stepping it up one uping himself we know he’s we know he’s capable so David godek really wants to beat the 95.25% and he capitalized gets that bar spin off coming in flip bar spin on the drop in gets the no-handed Twister off he’s looking really good coming into the step down 360 tail whip triple tail up on the first hip here’s the spot goes for the cashy bar spin on the second one gets it clean bar front to no hand her in truck driver d marsman 360 out and that caty tail up and he does it unbelievable run flares for the cherry on top that is exactly what David godz needed to do here with all the pressure on and run number two finishing that run with a cash roll tail up the trick he used in cans to take the gold dipping back into that proven formula wow we have a real game on our hands here godak accepting the challenge and doing what needs to be done that bar spin flat drop backflip straight into this 1080 tuck no hander with huge extension and perfect execution oh the hands the extension just look how big that jump is again barely a headbob out of him this massive 360 tail whip on the step down veteran Choice coming up after this triple whip here look at the eyes already planning [Music] up making decisions on the next jump as the bike is spinning around in front of him no doubt he’s first sure thinking right here all right well I got to fix that mistake from run number one he decided to leave one bar spin out of this cash roll keep it safe with this cast roll single bar spin I would say that decision paid off that slow-mo angle is so cool it almost looks like he does a truck driver and then just like barrel rolls out of it nailing that barin cash roll look at where his tires are pointed exactly where he needs to go look at this huge combo yeah barin front flip to tucko hander up it stalled him out a little bit this is where I got concerned I called it too early I only called it a truck driver but he managed to get two bar spins in on the St down and then right here a trick he used to win in can the cash roll tail whip barely getting the rotation around musling it okay we just saw the full replay and here are the trick lists that the judges are comparing right now godc versus Johansson once again you see that word opposite sprinkled all throughout the list from Johansson but look at the bangers from godak yeah it’s definitely a different they’re playing a different you know different strategy here in this game and it’s really up to the judges and what they’re going to account for but man how exciting was that run so exciting that they had to choose the smallest font of the day just to list the tricks he did on the whale tail that was above and beyond the Call of Duty into the step up the front flip bar spin I thought it was going to stop there he takes the hands off after that here we go score coming in for David godx second run what’s it going to be a 9 9675 are you kidding me David got nuts to the top of the leaderboard right there with that run oh yeah 9 w75 the new score to beat putting the pressure on the rest of the field and to think he had to dumb down his run and walks away with over a 96 one of the highest scores that I’ve seen in the few years I’ve been doing this that was amazing going back to his little quote from cans I had more yeah he had more Bo what an animal all right Boys is right Ben Thompson we got some energy flowing through this Arena here Ben Thompson run number two underway yeah about 45 minutes before this contest started Ben Thompson didn’t know he was going to be competing getting in in a Wild Card unfortunately Max landel going out but he’s looking really solid right here flip bar to bar on the step down gets that truck to downside tail whip perfect double tail whip on the hip flip bar up barely getting that rotation around Trucking down in and this time nailing that 360 downside tail whip that’s where we saw him have trouble in the first time 360 double downside tailet [Music] so glad to see Ben Thompson put that one to the pedals run number one was looking so good and then he threw it away on the final jump yeah he was able to get the rotation around on the first one when he had that mistake but he carved completely off the landing but that one was exactly what he needed to do you know if you think about how high the run from chance Moore scored we got a similar approach here from another young Canadian absolute perfection here let’s see as we’re watching in slow motion if we can find anything that could have been cleaned up nothing comes to mind after watching The Run once through yeah that first jump actually I saw in the replay and I was reminded in his first he actually did front flip tuck no hander to Bar spin I saw a little hand Bobble and he didn’t get the bar spin in this run so not quite what he wanted but he did pull that 360 double downside tail up in the bottom so I expect this to be a higher score so casual how he just slides off the back of the bike and gets that tail up going around two rotations with his arms his legs point at the sky at one point during that rotation I was so glad to see him not throw this second run away as well good Ben Thompson’s best crack Works result is a fifth from cans in 2022 and right now it’s going to be s in ninth place with that 8.75 from run two here back up to the top great to see this Rider back on the crank work slop style World Tour absent from the 2023 season back here today the Swedish Rider who has made it onto the podium Alex Alano bman tail tap on that quarter pipe double truck driver on the drop big extension on that front flip tuck no hander massive cork s on the step down looking at this first hip and he gets a no how did he pull that [Applause] around I believe that was an opposite cork 7 just musing for everything he’s got opposite tail whip up muscles with the 360 around making it happen back flip tail whip Living on a Prayer out here hey good thing we don’t have 10 features nine features was all that back tire was willing to hang on for that was a crazy Salvage mission after that 720 I don’t know how he saved that just musling it around the flip seemed to just absolutely stop mid rotation and he LED with his he did what he needed to do he found the landing with his eyes then his head turned his shoulders but man I want I cannot wait to see how he managed to get this thing around that was the craziest rotation so there it is on the step down the cork 720 rotation regular here comes the Oppo watch The Landing yeah you see his hips in the bars that is forcing the bike around and the bottom drops out right there Scorpion’s a little bit and somehow manages to land and pretty clean pure willpower I cannot believe that back tire held on all the way down to the very bottom of the course yeah that was the cause of the explosion right there Landing side by side he’s got a pinch flat so his tube right now is getting chewed on by his Rim opposite tail wh up gets a little squirrly there almost goes into the side railing that is not the spot you want to NASCAR off that wall Most Valuable Player of the day is the back tire there for hanging on to the end of this run comes in slips a little pedal right there gets the foot back on he knows he’s got that quarterpipe it counts got flip tail [Music] whip so Alex Alano currently sit in 14th moves up to 11th grabs some of those points and see if he can stay on tour great to have him back yeah he was fighting that the whole way down and what we’ve seen out of the judges his cleanliness is what they’re looking for one of the cleanest Riders out here Tom EAD he was clean in run number one all the way down until the final jump where we saw Deja Vu from cans washing out on that cash roll he’s got a crazy opposite cork 720 in the middle of this course he’s got to do it all over again and then put a big exclamation point down there on the bottom where he crashed in run number one yeah let’s hope Tom’s got his head in this leave the pass in the pass nice flare right there cork flip off the drop perfect double back flip right there over the first gigantic set of doubles regular cork s right there on the step down and there’s that wild opposite one just magically bringing that bike around flip tail flip front flip tuck no hander up looking really really good right here back flip tuck no hander out come on Tom and can he get the Twister around oh come on the same exact scenario as can crashing a Cas run number one trying to up the Annie in run number two going for the Twister and crashing that as well a yeah the frustration right there is strong man I really liked that combo he linked together on that whale tail the front flip tuck no hander up to back flip Tander out you know I was curious watching that run if that back flip tail up had an opposite tail and you see the judges caught that it was an opposite tail he was catching with his back foot look at how perfect and comfortable he is on those double back flips [Music] this link right here undoubtedly a highlight of the Run he’s almost more dialed on this crazy opposite cork 7 than he was on the regular albeit on the step down in the case of the regular and here this is not just a backflip tail but a back flip opposite tail up lining it up connecting to the landing on this hip jump magnets to the pedals yeah throwing technicalities on top of technicalities oppos on the hips and that combination I really like right there that tuck no hander front flip up Tuck no hander back flip out and right there it just looks like that snap off the lip took a little bit too much momentum maybe about 6 in under rotated right there ah so frustrating for Tom he is ridiculously good at crashing he’s like a cat Max Frederickson the king of combos can he get Tech enough to threaten those top spots here in run number [Music] two big cranked invert yes 360 off the drop double back flip tailb sorry double tail back flip losing my focus here triple little bit of a bobble he recovers that was definitely an improvisation but that was an awesome extension on that back flip tuck no hander spinning both directions tuck no hander out 360 oh man what a run what’s he got the corner pipe right here so much stee right there Max you did it man after a crazy 3 weeks of recovery from that concussion he sustained in practice number one in Australia it was a long road back that he had to cram into the span of just three weeks and this is a Max Frederickson run right here I am so stoked for him that invert three dropping right there and that back flip double tail whip on the biggest jump on the course having that jump at the top is so difficult going around three times on the hip right there a little bit of a bobble but a strong recovery yeah that Bobble did not seem to affect him later on on the court that’s a game changer you know the judges can dock for a bobble like that but it’s when that deduction gets exponentially coupled to that mistake policing itself on the next feature he recovered well here getting huge extension on this backflip no hander and somehow not coming up short on this next jump yeah I don’t know if that was his plan trick some of these rers they you can see them they go to a a like a go-to or a backup for that to be his backup or go-to is pretty unreal spinning one way on the way up spinning the op the regular way tucking the no hands out and right there the truck driver to three to tail whip spinning the bike spinning the bars spinning the bike again the other way so much technicality in these combinations Max Frederickson is one of the best when it comes to improving when things go a little bit sour in a run we saw him improv the 360 quadruple bar spin on the last jump run number one and now here run number two we got to see what he really wanted that 360 part of whip and that is exactly what you’re hoping for when you see Max Frederickson at the top of a course the top five are in the 90s cam have you ever seen that before turns out the top five are in the ’90s a 90 would not crack the top five you need a better 90.5 to get into that Elite group here today the eighth edition of Tulie crank perks SW style insbrook 8437 not good enough to crack into the top five he will slot into eighth place just showing the level out here today when you can do a run like that it goes into eighth place all right Eric fedco next Rider to drop my favorite part of his first run was the link between the first and second hip in the middle of the course two different variations of 360 windshield wipers two different ways of doing a 360 with two tail UPS in it tail One Way tail up the other way he had that double back flip no hander on the second feature can he get it all again and then add some there’s the backflip dropping looking really smooth come on double back flip t no hander gets the second rotation around nicely flip triple bar spin on the step down that’s what we didn’t see now there’s the windsh wiper one way and then it gets the Indiana air Superman SEC grab 360 off downside tail whip three in flip tail whip out what is he going to finish with here oh the cork 720 that is what Eric bedco was looking for in that first run we know he wasn’t excited with that score he got but he answered the call of tricking and one uping in a lot of spots on the way down that hill this is a tough one to figure out what the judges are going to do with because he improved where he left some on the table from run number one but he also missed that second mhm he just realized it he SW popped it out with his signature move that 360 C crab Indian air which I love he was cleaner on the cork 7 at the bottom this scared me yeah right here grabbing onto the bars and yanking his head back to get that rotation to come around watch the delay in his head right here as soon as he grabs the bars snaps his head around to get that momentum going that’s how you can control that rotational speed and then this right here we didn’t see any bar spins in the first run that time able to get him around three times a a little bit of bubble there that’s why he decided to improv I’m really happy he went for this trick right here obviously he wanted this 360 windshield wiper with the tail UPS going in reverse order but that was perfect execution of the trademark Eric fedco move the 360 ccraft Indian air maybe the best extension I’ve ever seen him do with that tray yeah both feet completely over it head flip whipping down huge risk with that trick and then corking out this 720 this was cleaner but for a second I thought he may move the other 360 windshield wiper to that last jump I was thinking whoa that would really bring it all together all right score coming in for run two from Eric fedco what’s it going to be he’s in the 90s 94. one2 he’s into Podium contention Eric FCO s in third oh [Music] yeah oh that’s what’s up right there after CL his way back from that ankle injury it’s got to feel good man it’s been a while since he’s been on the podium let’s see if he can hold on to it we got Nikolai Rakin at the top of the course he was the first rer to drop in run number one he dropped hammers we’re going to take a look back at it in two different ways here on board with his GoPro angle as well as a straight replay from his run we remember when he landed he said he had more for run two look at that twister yeah unbelievable angle there with that 360 camera doing that twister then there we have the cork 7 on the step down getting that double tail whip on the first hip second hip right here that was that cash roll was that a bar spin cash roll it was hard to tell there and that right there he wanted to take that other hand off the handlebars able to keep his momentum going and gets a full run in double back flipping off that Showtime Booter yes it’s been a long time since he’s ridden let’s hope he’s warm and ready to go if anybody’s ready at any point in time it’s Nikolai Rakin hard to believe that that run is only sitting in eighth right now he’s so strategic he knew as soon as he finished that run that he would need more today to crack into the podium he’s been on the podium twice here in inbrook in the past let’s see if he can do it again 360x up in there’s that 1080 cork twister is what they call it there’s the cork seven on the step down triple tail it just getting a little off AIS right there with the hip good to see him slide out of that one but this the triple whip in run number one was one of the regrets he verbalized at the bottom of the course he was pulling out all the stops here in run number two unfortunately he got caught downside on that triple [Music] whip Crow giving it up appreciating every ounce of effort Nikolai has today looking back at that triple tail up there’s one look at the hips though they’re not lined up to that Landing there’s two yeah and they’re getting more rotated the wrong direction as he’s going the third whip his hips were 90 to The Landing look at this a nice slide out nobody wears more protection than Nikolai reakin he’s a smart man and that’s why he pops up quickly from those crashes yeah nothing but frustration right there for Nikolai definitely had an opportunity to gain some very valuable points based on his position but we’re back up to the top okay we heard that the judges potentially deducted from Tim Bringer’s run one score because he had two double bad flips in his run they like to see a well-rounded run with flawless execution he also bobbled a bit on that 360 parman a downside tail up he recovered miraculously but the judges want to see spotless execution Yeah Tim bringer run with a 90.5 and a deduction so let’s see if he can kind of rework his trick list here and improve on that score and get himself back on the podium he 100% has what it takes can he put it together back flip tuck no hander off the drop back flip double tail up to Baron so he’s according to schedule right here hug huge double back flip on the step down Landing a little low got it gets that 360 double tail whip off o was that a triple truck driver he modified cash roll up triple truck driver down backflip tuck no hander double backflip he says oh you don’t like it when I do two double back flips in run how would I take my hands off on the second one so looking back at his run cam we did have two double truck drivers but there was a difference one of them was on a hip level of difficulty it’s going to surely show through and bringer [Music] score okay obviously the elephant in the room is not getting that trick that he barely saved in run number one he decided to played a little bit more safe on the second hip but huge extension there there man can’t say enough about that a flat drop back flip tuck no hander but then following it up with a double tail whip to barsin backflip quadruple combo on the biggest jump here nothing you could say could be could make that any better look how low he lands here he’s probably going to go out of frame before he touches down yeah absolutely does that was a solid call Cam here we go this jump coming up he had the 360 bar spined downside tail before he goes for man was that a 360 x up to bars it was tough to tell let’s see what the judges called it yeah it was hard to tell on that angle ah they called it a 360 bar to opposite bar back so really Tech move probably did that on purpose to play it safe after what happened in run number one cash rolling up getting that triple truck driver down the whale tail that’s the game changer right there that’s what the judges are going to be placing all their energy on finishing with the huge Banger which does two things improves upon what he used to finish his run in run number one but also makes it so he didn’t have two double back flips in his run that was a crucial move right there in the final feature Tim bringer has tasted silver never tasted gold here on the crank Works slop sty World Tour and this is what the judges are crunching right now yeah they’re looking at these comparisons looking at some really long combinations right there definitely standing out having to move to that smaller font for how much godak got done on that whale tail section of the track [Music] 96.75% have what it takes to knock out the 96.75% [Music] [Applause] [Music] the level of competition here is insane look at that a 93.25% [Music] [Music] [Music] with their run one scores of course chance Mo with a Flawless first run in his rookie appearance Paul cair wasn’t even sure if he was going to ride today and then he stomped that Banger first run so they’re going to train this one down to the bottom flow it smooth and clear the way for the last Rider at the top of the course with that opportunity to take the win here today that will be a mil J Hansen so we’re going to celebrate briefly here for the performances from these two ERS and then prepare for the storm it’s about to roll into this course aill Johansson backed into a corner we love to see it there’s nothing wrong with that right there taking that run waving off the opportunity to up their score that’s RIS that’s risk management right there and that’s what is going to lengthen your career this is good this is why we fly all over the world and set these stages it’s for circumstances like this these Riders train so hard all year dedicating their lives to this sport for these high pressure situations just a year ago we saw very similar circums since ail Johansson at the top of the course without the top score can he dig deep after run number one we know he has more yeah we also know that he likes being in this situation backed up against a wall he has been wanting to unveil a lot of different tricks and combinations over the years that he’s just not had to do I know but and if there was ever any criticism on his career it’s he hadn’t had to step it up but he can do that and he’s shown it already once here today let’s see what he can do in run number two so Emil Johansson likes what he sees from those flags here we go foot jam on that quarter pipe nose press who 360 can can is he still rolling is he still moving here we go I just turned around we got that opposite three wh on the dirt to dirt step down 360 bar spin to downside tail whip opposite 360 bar toar it’s a little bit off angle there it looks like he might be just calling it right there yeah he got so loose on that nose press to 360 to can can his foot that was staying on the pedal floated off how he was able to keep going I have no idea what God [Music] look at this right now David godak makes it backto back wins here the Triple Crown still alive for David godc as he demonstrates sportsmanship here congratulates Emil Johansson on a swing and a miss but another hard fought battle between two of the world’s most elite athletes the level of competition and slow style ridiculous one thing I got to point out is we talked about after run number one how Tech that nose press noly 361 foot can can is ill just showed us how easy it is for that one to go wrong so Emil Johansson with the bronze Tim bringer silver and David gazak makes it two golds in a row what should I do what should I do put your arms in the air my man you are a two-time winner here at the crank Works slope style event two in a row that is looking at a possible Triple Crown win and where would be a better place to win a Triple Crown than Whistler Valley yeah uh I’m not going to miss [Music] that look at those Podium scores so high yeah chance more getting a 90 3.25 I think it was amazing David this season has been insane so far I mean we were even thinking back to last year when you and Emil were battling it out we saw both of you backed into a corner today after you weren’t able to stomp run number one there was a lot of pressure for run number two how did you pull it off yeah actually some pressure went off after my crash in the first run uh all I was focusing on I was just I just wanted to make it to the bottom I missed few things but the judges still like my my run so I’m super stoked and uh yeah actually Speas on another first place can be more stoked crazy to think that you had even more in the tank you just said you missed a couple things well one thing that is still up for grabs for only you is the Triple Crown have you given that any thought yet we got one more stop left to go on Whistler yeah please don’t remind me that uh one more time I’m just uh going to focus on doing the best performance in Whistler and let’s see what that brings hey inbrook let’s hear it for David Goda grabbing the win thank you very [Applause] much another case outen of I had more all right let’s look back at this official winning run here at Tulie SLO style inbrook from David o yeah nothing to be said about this run such an amazing comeback from him right there with the Twister tuck no hander three whipping down the step down triple tail whip here on the first hip bar spin coll that was where we saw him have trouble on his first run but keeping it going with triple combos up into the whale tail triple combos out and then the cash roll tail whip unbelievable run from top to bottom that cashi whip has been serving godc well this year he used that to cap off both of his gold medal winning runs this 2024 season this time around it’s scored him a 96. 75 you got to give it to chance more there top five in his rookie performance and to think that he was sitting in the hot seat most of the day yeah I think we’re going to hear a lot more of chance more in the future he’s showing a lot of maturity as a rookie I mean making the decision to sit out cans was a smart move and then today taking that second run off knowing that you know he it’s not worth the risk we’re going to definitely be seeing a lot of chance more based on those scores and those things but look at look at the rest of the rouers here unfortunately tqu tested not making it back for his second run but yeah man look at the scores the riding the level today was unbelievable also Eric fedco nicely climbing himself back into the ranks the rider with multiple podiums started out this season with a fifth now he’s climbed up to Fourth so pacing himself nicely with one more stop to go in Whistler where we will see Emil Johansson looking to get back to where he’s most comfortable which is that top spot he takes the bronze here today but we mostly be focusing our anticipation on seeing if David godc will be able to add his name to that prestigious crankworks Triple Crown Trophy well plenty to digest here from the women’s and the men’s field on this Tully slop cell inbrook don’t go [Music] away it’s time again for 3C freef Falls and pure Thrills in unique places worldwide this is going to be the most incredible season we have ever had Red Bull cliff diving World Series 20124 live on Red Bull TV look at the time from Stevie Smith he takes his first ever World Cup win the making of a legend Stevie Smith aka the chainsaw he was a bit unpredictable he was creative he was wild he did have a great life full of giggles and laughs and adrenaline the untold story of a true champion Long Live chainsaw now available on Red Bull TV really awesomely fun a look at the venue there as the dust settles on another groundbreaking slop style competition here from a venue that always delivers for the past eight seasons kind of looking at the numbers and taking a a look at what some of these new stats mean Tim bringer getting his fourth second place right now when’s he going to get that win man yeah it’s a good question you know he kind of had that little bit of a miscue where he got that you know points deduction with the double flip he was over the ’90s with a point deduction So that obviously says that he can do it I mean the top two runs though it’s it’s really fun to have the ability to list these tricks side by side we were wondering were the opposite tricks of ill Johansson going to be able to stack up against the bangers of David godc for the past few seasons we’ve been saying it’s only a matter of time before these bangers are bound to take the win and the judges making their opinions clear out there today yeah definitely the pressure was on Emil in the end but looking at these trick lists is this a video game was this a video game Run or did we just actually witness this all happening in one run that is unbelievable we’ve gone from going all right can bangers beat the opposite tricks and now we’re going okay cool the top two runs are the ones that contain the bangers and the opposite tricks are now relegated to third place do you think that’s a shift in the trend that we can expect to see now for the future of slopes out or do you think this is an isolated circumstance where emill just left some on the table you know I think it comes down to the cleanliness of the runs like I I do believe that Emil’s run was good enough to win but he was a little bit sketchy in a couple of moments it wasn’t as dialed and perfect as we saw with godak and bringer runs and the fact that godak keeps saying you know what I had a little bit more I wish I could have pushed a little bit harder but he’s won the last two stops yeah to think that there’s more than this is is crazy to me but looking at this and what I think really pushed his score up was the cleanliness of it his where his tires were Landing how much extension he had this the height that he had the ability to keep his run going and doing big tricks the entire way down and obviously that right there only Rider I’ve seen do that I think a big part as well is squeezing in that three-part combo onto the whale tail it’s the front flip bar spin to tuck no hander you think about what we saw in mil going for in practice he had a front flip suicide no hander I believe he was just getting a front flip in his run so missing those combos that he’s capable of whereas godc was able to squeeze squeeze that orange for all the juice that was left in it yeah I mean really looking at the top five and all those scores the top six all those scores in the 90s that really shows how close these competitors are cuz really any of those Riders could could take the win out here or get themselves on the podium today it was nice to see godak back up his win at cans but man it’s anybody’s game out here uh it’s not anybody’s game for the Triple Crown godz is the only one with that still available to him the same can be said in the women’s field for Rob gos backing up her win from stop number one in New Zealand with her win here today Elma wickberg forced her to earn this one didn’t she yeah Elma wiberg had to step up her game ended up going down at the end but here’s the run that we saw taking the gold medal here Robin goom’s massive backflip on that first set and really what did it for her we saw the judges rewarding this was tricks on every single jump with clean extension looking smooth and right here she knew that right here she came out a little bit loose but decided to squeak that tobogan in had no dead airs straight into the flick X up amazing run out of Robin gos today well there’s only one thing left to do and and that’s to pop the champagne make this venue smell the way Victory smells out here for the eighth time here at this iconic venue let’s check in with our in-house announcers and watch this Podium go down [Music] in third place Austin representing the United States of America ladies and gentlemen [Music] sheo come on in [Music] [Applause] against ason C [Music] [Music] Cloud ladies and gentlemen in third place from Sweden Make Some Noise you tell you what Al it’s been a long time since we’ve seen Emil on the third step of the podium it’s the first time we’ve seen shayen Reno there backing up her pair of fifth places from the first two stops now steady climb into Podium contention using those combos but you know even on a date where things don’t go his way he’s still bringing home some Hardware yeah definitely not what he came here to get but he has fire in the tank and he’ll be looking forward to Whistler as well as Elma wiberg second place here today able to step up her game just sliding out on that final jump but still walking away knowing that shoulder is durable is a huge win for Alma out here today big time and two podiums in a row I would have loved to have seen what Robin would have done if Alma stomped that 360 at the end cuz he got to believe that would have gone into the lead ladies and [Music] gentlemen four Silvers for this man so close so many times it’s got to happen it’s got to happen one of these days yeah we know he’s got the capability it’s just got to all come [Music] together representing New Zealand winner Robin Go Robin gos for her second TOP Step this Seas season keeping herself in the hunt for that triple crown we’ll have some big Hardware up for grabs once we get to Whistler but right now it’s all about today and Robin goom’s making it happen winning her second slope style event here at crank [Music] Works big prize money on the line for any Rider who can win three of the four stops on the cranker SL Cell World T Robin Grooms has won two so far with one stop left to go she’s got a chance to grab that big check but the pressure will be on we’ve seen ryers in the past fold under that pressure we’ve seen ryers Triumph ail Johansson has won it three times Nikolai reaken has won it once David godik also still in the running for the Triple Crown going into Whistler for The Men We heard him in that final interview there say yeah please don’t bring that up I don’t need to start thinking about that yet forever so awesome to see godak breaking that barrier getting away from those seconds and thirds now he’s a consistent winner that momentum and that motivation that that can give you and that

We traveled from the USA to Innsbruck , Austria. We made it today on the last day of the competition and arrived at 7pm at night we sadly missed it… We still got to see the course. Disappointed Red Bull changed the dates. We will have to come back next year! Would love an autographed tshirt, sticker or anything! CoolestKid- Michigan, USA
The womens event looked fun
Does anyone know why Patricia Druwen did not start again? I´d love to see her finally on Crankworx, she is the best female slopestyle athlete out there right now 🔥
1:20:38 This is crazy, on the edge. Glad Emil made it
Godziek ❤
i see red bull still can't afford 4k cameras…
The era of Johansson has finally ended. No more bar-whip crap.
Slopestyle is back on track, HYPE
slopestyle is more fun with women
Fedko getting an 82 and Emil getting a 95 is the most ridiculous scoring. Emil missed a 3 tuck off the whale tail and Fedko missed a backflip combo. But his run was overall more impressive. Doesn't make sense. And Tim Bringer did two double backflips and didn't get docked. Plus, Fedko has the most style. Watching this comp was a disappointment. Between Alan Cooke's annoying af commentary and the whack judging, it was hard to enjoy it. The riders put it down for sure though. I think they need to split the comp up and have the women go separately. Wasn't really worth my time to watch some straight airs and a few backflips lol.
💪
Ridgakin came out swingin
No hay Brenden?
Just rename the event SlopeTailwhip. Style doesnt seem to matter anymore.
Judges need to be put through a food processor… Fedko for president… Emils run did not impress me…. he needs to concentrate on smashing Sigrid… Dude has a good chance…
I hope the double backflip as a competition trick goes away. It's awfully boring to watch.
Pretty sure mountain goats come down to watch and are like, "Check out these guys."
Bringer is an animal – so wild to watch
The heck was that? Barley even saw emils last run…
Same every single comp the judges just brown nosing Emil Johan’s on that first run was 100000000% worth 5th 6th never in a million years was that a 95.25 getting him at 1st place absolutely awful judging once again
