Red Bull Joyride

Crankworx is a global tour of mountain bike festivals that take place in New Zealand, Austria, and Canada. The final stop of the Crankworx World Tour is a 10 day festival in Whistler, British Columbia celebrating several gravity-fed disciplines within mountain biking. Each summer the Canadian stop otherwise known as Crankworx Whistler is hosted by Whistler-Blackcomb in Whistler, British Columbia at Whistler Mountain Bike Park.

Each festival hosts a number of established competition formats such as downhill mountain biking, Dual Slalom, pump track racing and Slopestyle. It is important to note that these competition formats are markedly different from cross-country touring-style cycling.

Since its inception in 2004, Crankworx has become one of Whistler’s largest annual festivals. It has been called the Super Bowl of the sport, and is the biggest annual gathering of the mountain biking community.[1]

Festival

Red Bull Joyride, an event during Crankworx Whistler 2018

A central aspect of Crankworx Whistler is a series of village-wide promotional displays and activities pertaining to extreme-style mountain biking. Many events happen throughout the week including demonstrations of bicycle tricks, racing and other entertainment. There is also a collection of manufacturers' booths, and the festival serves as a cycling industry gathering. Prominent display-type advertising, for a very wide variety of products, is present throughout all events. The festival has attracted major sponsors including CLIF Bar, Dose.ca, SRAM Corporation, Redbull and various other corporate entities.

Competitions

The tour includes three series events – the Crankworx Downhill World Tour, the Crankworx Pump Track World Tour and the Dual Speed & Style World Tour. Athletes accumulate points all season long en route to the coronation in Whistler, while taking on as many events as possible in an attempt to secure the toughest titles in mountain biking, the King and Queen of the Crankworx World Tour.
