Emil Johansson Wins 14th Crankworx Gold Medal at Red Bull Joyride
Unfortunately, the Bike Mag crew had travel plans that didn't line up with a postponed Red Bull Joyride this year. However, fortunately, the sick Chevy Silverado EV Trail Boss (which we've just been referring to as 'Trail Boss' this week,) we drove up to Whistler in has wi-fi which means I still got to watch the Live Stream while Deven drove.
So, without further ado, here are the 2025 Red Bull Joyride results comin' at you live from Trail Boss.
After a hot beginning to the week in Whistler, an atmospheric river moved through British Columbia dumping rain on the area for from Thursday night until late Saturday afternoon. Events such as the Outdoor Research Best Trick competition were rescheduled and RockShox Candian Open DH was cancelled due to weather. Festival goers watched as the Joyride course builders covered the course with 45,000 square feet of tarps to protect it from the rain. Tarps remained on the course from Thursday evening until Sunday morning.
While the damage to the Joyride course wasn't quite as bad as some had anticipated, it was certainly running a bit slowly by the looks of it and competitors across the field struggled to keep speed.
Shaelen Reno was the first athlete to drop into the course on Sunday morning, followed by Alma Wiggberg, who won gold in 2024, and then Robin Goomes. Wiggberg's first run with several backflip combos sprinkled throughout, earned her a 91.40. Wiggberg took gold in the women's field making her the first ever female repeat winner of Red Bull Joyride.
On the men's side, after a year recovering from injuries sustained at the 2024 Red Bull Joyride, Emil Johansson, who holds the record for the most Crankworx slopestyle gold medals put together an absolutely incredible run. The first athlete of the men's field to drop in, Johansson's run earned him a 91.00, despite a slipped pedal right at the end.
Fans waited patiently to see if anyone could knock Johansson off the top. Highly anticipated runs by Erik Fedko and Tim Bringer almost did, although Bringer crashed in his first go at it, he brought it back for his second. After crashing on run one, fan favorite David Godziek also put down a lap that likely would have been podium-worthy, but he seemingly missed a trick on one of the last jumps. He was given an 84.64 by the judges putting him in 4th place, but winning him Rider of the Day. Tobey Miley also notably came in 5th place with an 84.48 after qualifying for Joyride during the Crankworx Summer Series slopestyle event at Silverstar a few weeks ago.
Johansson's gold medal marks his 14th Crankworx slopestyle medal. After taking a victory lap down the course, Johansson's fellow competitors met him at the bottom, spraying him with Red Bull as they congratulated him, in one of the most wholesome moments in slopestyle this year. Johansson is also on the docket to compete in Red Bull Rampage in October.
