Jackson Goldstone and Robin Goomes return home champions, a second time for both, with Jackson winning at Crankworx Rotorua in 2020 and Robin winning last year in Innsbruck.
The vibes were high with the crowd thrilled to be back in what is undeniably one of the most scenic scenarios of a Crankworx event.
"All the top three got busy, both boys and girls. Hats off to all the podium finalists, they thrilled the crowd so much“Judge Nicholi Rogatkin said.
"Kaos and Kade gave a lot of show, they fought, but then Jackson gave a crazy whip: pulled to the limit and brought back to normal position on landing“Added Rogatkin. "We were blown away".
As for the women: “Robin's last whip was just huge, the biggest he made and it was very clean: we reward risky whips but we give credit to clean landings,” explained the American.
XNUMX-year-old Jackson Goldstone is already one of the earliest players in the DH World Cup, albeit still a junior, and said he needed to remind the freestyle world that it's still there. “It's good to be back. I didn't want to let the freeride inside of me die, so I'm excited to continue like this ”.
Estimated at 2500, this was the largest Whip-Off crowd at Crankworx Innsbruck to date.
