Photo Epic: Crankworx L2A Slopestyle
 |
 Welcome to the Crankworx L2A also known as the 2nd stop of the triple crown of slopestyle happening in the lovely city of Les Deux Alpes, France. Let's get ready for the rumble! |
 |
| Landscapes of Les Deux Alpes are truly stunning. |
 |
| High winds didn't stop the crowd from waiting for the best riders in the world. |
 |
| Anthony enjoys going big everytime he goes for a spin. |
 |
| Sam Reynolds had a stellar run that has ended with this huge backflip tuckie. |
 |
| The easiest way to get off the whale for UK riders. |
 |
| Style matters for Carson Storch. |
 |
| The oldest yet the brightest rider of the day was for sure Yannick Granieri who was able to compete on his track and before his crowd! |
 |
| Czech Rep.'s own Mr. Zejda got a bit confused during his runs but still managed to pull a full top to bottom run. |
 |
| Pilgrim's signature going underway. |
 |
| Mr. Pilgrim caught while preparing the table. |
 |
| Nicholi Rogatkin with a tuck over the road gap. |
 |
| Szymon Godziek has some trouble in keeping up to the rest of the crew but still he managed to pull some bangers during his run. We want more FMX style here Szymon! |
 |
| Simon Pages started good and finished bad at Crankworx L2A but we know he will be back and strong soon. |
 |
| The hype is real at the riders booths but only the one of them can go for the triple crown. |
 |
| Brett Rheeder must have been at some yoga classes lately... |
 |
| Need some chips for that dip? |
 |
| Not every double whip goes well for Sam. |
 |
| Reynolds blue steel game is strong. |
 |
| Just like Carson Storch, Rheeder went for a downside whip on the massive set. |
 |
| Frontflip barspin for the win. |
 |
| Brett and Brandon were the only ones to try and land a backflip from the flat skinny. |
 |
| Flip double whip wasn't enough to take the 1st place here. |
 |
| Side flip on the gap was a true eye candy from Semenuk. |
 |
| Backflip barspin on the spine just before the whale. |
 |
| Tommy G's fiance knows the score just right! |
 |
| Thomas Genon ending his run with a clean double whip on the step down. |
 |
| Most clicked 360 off the whale goes to Tommy G himself. |
 |
 |
| Thomas is a tech wizard. Truckdriver to tuck no hander? Call him! |
 |
| As buzzed as possible. |
 |
| Logan going big for the 4th place. |
 |
| Invading whale Logan Peat's style. |
 |
| Sam's is going back in style. |
 |
| Anthony Messere went down with a clean & banger run that placed him on the good, 6th spot. |
 |
| How does it feel to pull a run of the lifetime? Ask Mehdi Gani who was on fire today! |
 |
| 360 whip by the youngest Canadian going in today. |
 |
| Tom Van Steenbergen with a clean truck driver over the spine. |
 |
| Nicholi Rogatkin's triple whips are starting to get pretty much a common thing to watch when he rides. Time to learn them! |
 |
| Backflip barspin from Logan Peat. |
 |
| Paul Genovese was a great rider to watch, even if it's just a tuckie on the road gap, this man goes big and loves to spin his full suspension bike. |
 |
| Brandon's sideflip on this gap was probably one of the highlights of this evening. |
 |
| Weather conditions was not on our side today as wind went as crazy as riders did. |
 |
| Louis Reboul spins are simply of the hook. Guess the rotation! |
 |
| Mitch Chubey has ended up on the 11th spot despite the fact he joined the "flip whip from the step down" club. |
 |
| Nicholi Rogatkin cash rolled the jump in the middle of the track, like it's nothing. |
 |
| Crazy pants didn''t save Mr. Lemoine today, yet after a huge bail, he got up and ruled the crowd till the very end of his run. |
 |
| Loots of the man who is going all in everytime he touches his bike. |
 |
| Two-thrids of the plan complete. |
 |
| Crankworx fans are a special breed of people. |
 |
| But it's still quiet out here... |
 |
| Congratulations to Brett, Brandon and Thomas for keeping us on our toes today. Yet, the contrast of stoke is high in this picture. |
 |
| As hyped as it gets, congrats Brett! |
 |
| Winning lap of the man of the day. |
 |
Results here.

Did anybody see that "buff little muscle hampster" go off at the finish corral?
BTW "Flip double whip wasn't enough to take the 1st place here" said no one ever before the event.
