The Kings and Queens of mountain bike. Slopestyle’s elite. Up-and-comers, amateurs, junior and teeny-tiny shredders. The media, industry, and top brands in the sport. 11 weeks from now, they’ll all be making tracks to the first Crankworx World Tour stop of the season in Innsbruck, Austria, June 15-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are more than proud to have successfully conducted two Crankworx Innsbruck events in the last years despite the pandemic. Now we are euphoric to finally be organizing an event that will have a real festival feeling again. We can’t wait until the first rider hits the legendary whip-off jumps to kick of the Crankworx World Tour 2022 with an extended sundown session, to see kids’ eyes lighting up at out Kidsworx program, and have riders from all over the world grab a cold drink together at our expo. With the assumption that the COVID pandemic will continue to decrease, we can’t wait to celebrate mountain biking properly again. We are counting down the days and the crew is working hard to set the stage and finally make it happen as we are used to.<\/p>Georg Spazier, Head of the Crankworx Innsbruck organizing committee<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Crankworx Innsbruck will mark the first point in the season that Crankworx’s global mountain bike family have gathered in competition and celebration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“So pumped to come back to Innsbruck!”<\/em> said Harriet Burbidge-Smith, who had a stellar Crankworx Innsbruck in 2021, finishing first in Dual Slalom, fifth in Pump Track, and third in Speed & Style. Haz said she’s excited for the racing, and that special Innsbruck flair that makes it unique on the tour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I always enjoy the vibe there, and I know this year will be no different. Excited for the Speed & Style course, and the cows!<\/p>Harriet Burbidge-Smith<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

It will also mark the beginning of the battles for the King & Queen of Crankworx, the Crankworx FMBA Slopestyle World Championship, and the first of two chances that Slopestyle athletes will have to make a push for the Triple Crown of Slopestyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
