Whistler, B.C., August 13, 2022\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 The 10th<\/sup>\u00a0anniversary of Red Bull Joyride lived up to its reputation as the pinnacle of Slopestyle today. With the largest crowd to date (38,000+ deep), it was elbows out, no wiggle room from the bottom of the Boneyard all the way up to the top where the superheroes of Slopestyle gathered to lay it down.<\/p>\n

\nEmil Johansson effortlessly continued his Crankworx FMBA Slopestyle World Championship winning streak, taking his eighth win in a row. To be fair, it only appears effortless. In his words, he puts so much work and time into practicing, taking combinations and adding them into other combinations to create things that have never been seen in the sport.<\/p>\n

\u201cSurreal,\u201d said the Red Bull rider of the gold-medal draped around his neck. \u201cI didn\u2019t think this day would come where the winning streak would last for over three years’ time, and to be back in Whistler again and secure the top spot feels surreal. Honestly, I don\u2019t know where to begin.\u201d<\/p>\n

The fan-voted, satellite dish feature on the course brought out a more playful side to this style boss\u2019 typical competition riding.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought the satellite dish was really fun,\u201d said the Swede. \u201cIt\u2019s one of those style of features that we had all spoken about in the past. It lets the rider throw a trick in there which they wouldn\u2019t really do in a contest run. If it would have been straight-on heavy hitters all the way down with big jumps, then there\u2019s no way I would have done a nac nac on a big jump, yet with this specific feature, I feel like it was the right trick for it. We saw riders take advantage of it. For example Max got creative and got three tricks in it which is sick. It\u2019s cool to see Huppi [Lucas Huppert] doing his thing spinning around twice. There are so many different ways to approach it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

While not a newcomer to Crankworx Slopestyle podiums, a newcomer to Red Bull Joyride at Crankworx Whistler, Timoth\u00e9 Bringer absolutely stomped his first run earning him second place.<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst Joyride for me,\u201d the French rider said of earning second place. \u201cI\u2019m so happy to be here in Whistler with everyone and get a spot on the podium. This course was really original and had some features that we have never rode before in other competitions, so it was nice to see everyone doing different tricks on these features. It was hard to get the right speed in front of some of the jumps, so we needed to do a lot of practice before. In the end everybody was riding well, and we all did a good job I think.\u201d<\/p>\n

Arguably the crowd-favorite rider on course today was bronze-medalist, and now also ranked first for King of Crankworx, Tomas Lemoine. Tomas set the bar high during practice today when he gapped the entire final feature, overshooting and taking a big slam. The blood on his knuckles was still fresh from the crash when he dropped into his competition run and gave the final feature the send of the century turning two features into one. This impressed the crowd and the judges.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t believe it actually,\u201d Lemoine said with his infectious cheerfulness. \u201cI can\u2019t believe today. Probably this trip was the best trip of my life. I came with my two childhood best friends, I\u2019ve known them since I was five-years-old \u2013 Tim and Max. Being on the podium with my best friend Tim, Red Bull Joyride, it\u2019s like my dream come true. I had another dream here which was to jump the last feature.\u00a0 First day I came here and I just thought about doing this for the last week. I forgot so many tricks during practice just thinking about doing that last feature. I also had so many other events to do and today I had to send everything in one day. I can\u2019t believe everything worked out. I can\u2019t believe I had the energy to try to go for jumping the last feature in the second run and it worked out. It\u2019s probably the best day ever.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is the second Crankworx FMBA Slopestyle World Championship (SWC) competition of the season. The next SWC comp will be Crankworx Cairns Slopestyle, this October 8th<\/sup>. \u00a0If Johansson wins either the competition in Cairns or the following one at Crankworx Rotorua, he will once again win the Triple Crown of Slopestyle title. The Triple Crown has only been claimed twice, once by Nicholi Rogatkin, and once by Johansson last year. His win today officially takes any other riders out of the running.<\/p>\n

\u201cAny course is an evolution of the past and with this course I think we will hopefully see a lot more unique things in the future,” Johansson said of the future of slopestyle. “It\u2019s all trial and error. This course seemed to work so it\u2019s going to be fun to see where the future goes.\u201d<\/p>\n
