Can he do it?
Randy, the local boy, Semenuk!
Having one more chance is nerving.
But basically, you just go up there and it's all or nothing.
Even if I land sideways, I'm going
to hold on as hard as I can and make sure I
can make it to the next jump.
I need to get a run.
I need to make it to at least Super Finals.
Oh, man, Cork and that slow, slow flip out.
Semenuk is really pouring it on here at the finals.
The first run, you've got all these people.
You're from Whistler.
They're all staring at you.
You've got one run to get it done.
What's Semenuk got for us?
Right here it comes!
89.8 is the mark to beat for the 22-year-old Brandon Semenuk
from right here in Whistler, British Columbia.
He is now on course for a second and final run.
Starting off big.
You see the opposite now.
He's doing opposite tricks, an opposite truck driver.
And we are starting to see the building of a run
that we saw previously.
So much technical movement within his run.
We'll have to look at it at the end in a slow motion.
But, wow, he is on fire here.
Definitely is going super high.
Lots of great execution on these tail whips.
See, and right there, a simple thing
like a bar spin off that small feature
is something the judges will notice.
He is not stopping.
It's a litany of very difficult tricks happening right now.
Midway point.
A backflip off the feature.
How do you even do that?
This is where it went wrong.
The final hit for Semenuk.
And he pulls it.
The big question is, does it top an 89.8?
So much going on in this run.
Well, this man, he won the Volkswagen Best Trick
Showdown last year.
He was your defending gold medal champion in it.
And he's ready to drop in right now
for your Monster Energy Slope Style.
People of Whistler, put your hands together
for that man right there, Greg Watts.
Yep, I'm back.
Greg Watts, double or nothing, coming down strong right now.
Oh, Watts.
You'll see how the big guys like Watts
link these big tricks back to back.
Dude.
Mega combination there, Brad.
Greg Watts is a factory SRAM pilot,
jumping off the SRAM obstacle there with a truck driver
drop.
The first time he ever did that was at the Teva Mountain Games.
That was the opposite bar spin into a flip whip.
Shot the front door.
Yeah, Brad, do you want to take him in, buddy?
Greg Watts, ladies and gentlemen.
What a sick run.
Greg Watts.
Crazy to think this kid's still just 22 years
of age out of Sweden.
Here we go.
Neil Johansson on course.
Nice.
Fast plant, 360 to X-up.
Wow, nice.
Bar spin front flip to no-hander.
Let's see what he's got.
Oh!
Windshield wiper on the hip.
What?
Come on, get it, get it.
Double downside.
Come on.
Oh, my.
And the amplitude he has on these directions.
What is happening right now?
Far, far back, opposite 360.
What is happening?
Opposite 360 double whip.
OK, the corner pipe.
Oh, he got it.
Tailwhip.
Come on.
There is so much technicality in that run,
going both directions with tailwhips,
with 360s, with bar spins.
What he just did was he took the bangers from the final jump
of yours.
That was unbelievable, bro.
Oh, my god.
Look at Nikolaj.
He took those tricks that he used to end his run with
and he did them on the most technical features.
David Godziek, undefeated in this 2024 season.
A win in Australia, a win in Austria
that he had to earn in the second run.
Can he do it again here today?
Starts off with an opposite tailwhip.
Front flip tuck no-hander.
Right into that triple truck driver, double truck driver.
So looking really good so far.
Casual tail to bar spin, triple tailwhip.
So he's looking good so far.
He is capitalizing on every obstacle on the way up.
Double truck suicide backflip.
Bar spin off the flat drop.
This is insane.
He is firing, Alan.
Indian air, seat grab, 360 into a flare on the quarter pipe.
OK, this is where he had trouble.
So many things on the line for him today.
Here we go.
David Godziek into the cannon.
Casual bar spin and he does it.
Oh, man.
He does it.
He regroups.
He's able to come back in his second run and stick it.
He was the winner of last year's Red Bull Joyride.
It was his first win on the Crankworx FNBA Slope Style
World Championship Tour.
And he's at it again.
Here we go.
360 tailwhip to inward table right there.
Classic Emile style.
Oh, my gosh.
Truck driver to opposite downside tailwhip.
Oh, wait a minute.
That was an opposite triple tailwhip.
I had to process that one.
Going into a regular double tailwhip.
I've never seen him do that move.
Fast plant 360 up.
Nollie 360 down.
Oh, my gosh.
Opposite 360.
Opposite bar spin.
Regular bar spin down.
360 inward table to bar spin out.
Kirkland on the long and low.
What will it be on the last one?
Here we go.
Oh, my gosh.
The 360 windshield wiper.
And the crowd goes insane.
No way.
Look at the other riders just laughing.
Like, what is this kid capable of?
By the time he got to the on-off box,
he'd already done more tricks than anybody else's full run.
That was mind-blowing.
Wow.
That was one of the best things I've ever seen.
A tough upwind as Reeder's on course.
Wow.
Truck driver off that tiny little drop.
That tailwhip up the step up.
Man, we are so lucky we get to see a Brett Reeder
run right here at Joyride.
He has every weapon in the arsenal.
Opposite fast plant 360 drop.
Whoa.
Back foot bar spin to opposite tailwhip.
Unbelievable.
Reeder.
Where is he?
Oh, OK.
OK, cool.
We just missed him on the camera angle there.
There he goes, regular rotated cork 720
into his opposite rotated cork 720.
So perfect.
This is ridiculous.
A 360 double bar spin overspinning on that hip.
Looked like that was an opposite tail.
But back foot bar spin to tuck no-hander down.
Getting a combo on a step down you usually only
see on straight jumps.
A back flip tail up on the cannon.
Wow, this is a heck of a run, Pat.
Bar spin over the skipper.
Flip up.
Front slip up into back flip one-footed cannon down.
Full pole for Brett Reeder.
Not only that, he has had six podiums on Joyride.
He's looking for a seventh, trying to get his fourth win.
Here he comes from Squamish.
Let's hear it for the local boys, Brandon Seminok.
Brandon Seminok starting out.
Opposite truck driver on the start drop.
360 downside whip off the out box.
Back flip double tail up on the step up.
This is a Brandon Seminok trademark run right here.

Cork 720 on the first jump.
Landing so smooth.
And a back flip tail up to one-footed cannon
on the second jump.
Oh man, we saw that in his movie part.
Back flip bar spin on the cannon.
Such a new move.
Another one he dumped out in his movie part.
Double tail whip on that hip.
Okay, setting up for the cabin.
Cabin is gonna be, oh man.
Double truck up, flat drop flip down.
So over to the snail berm.
One more to go for Brandon Seminok.
Can we hear you people?
Coming in so fast.
Bar spin in.
Cork 720 down.
Can he get it?
He landed it.
Yes, he gets it.
The final trick.
That was the one that has been his Achilles heel
in the past, but not today.
Here it comes, Tyler.
Nikolai Rogakin's final run.
The final rider of the final stop of the 2018 season.
The only person who can secure
the triple crown of Crankworx.
Looking smooth so far.
What else is he gonna possibly cram into this run?
I can't imagine coming in on the first jump.
Front cork 1080, perfect to pedals.
Double back flip.
So far, this run looking even cleaner than run number one.
Getting that double back flip.
Back flip tuck no-hander.
That was a straight back flip in run number one.
Front flip tuck no-hander.
That was a straight front flip in run number one.
He is cranking everything up here in run number two.
One, two, three.

Coming into the last feature,
his last chance to secure the triple crown of Crankworx.
Back flip bar spin in.
Another improvement.
Double tail whip.
He gets it.
Perfect to pedals.

and improving on his first run.
Putting all the pressure on the judges.
Oh, man.
Look at him go.
He's been having the season of his life.
Wow.
Look at the sportsmanship here.
Brett Reeder respecting the game.
Wow.
We're receiving word that the scores are in.
Will we have a triple crown
or will we have a two-time Joyride winner?
What will the story be?
Where will this score land?
Nikolai Rogakin goes into the lead
and wins the competition.
And the triple crown of Snow Style.
His first time winning record Joyride.
