Insane Biking | Crankworx | RedBull Joyride

July 27th, 2011 by

Saturday was the biggest day at Whistler Crankworx!  Not only was a large cheese being rolled down a hill, there was also the Red Bull Joyride event (formally known as the Monster Slopstyle).  The weather was perfect the course was insane, everyone was here to throw down.  There were huge tricks (back whips, doubles, 360 whips) and of course  huge bails (1:40 Holy S!#T Outch). Judging by the fact that on any side of the course you couldn’t see dirt shows how many spectators came up from Vancouver to check out the event. I’d guess that this what the biggest Crankworx turnout yet, over 20 thousand people came to watch this event.
