Emil Johansson reigns supreme, Tomas Lemoine does the unthinkable and Timothé Bringer carves his name into Red Bull Joyride history. Catch up on all the 2022 action below.
As the world watched closely, the most prestigious event in slopestyle mountain biking delivered. On the closing weekend of the Crankworx Whistler festival, the 10th anniversary of Red Bull Joyride saw 15 of the world's top slopestyle athletes, more than 38,000 on-site fans and millions more around the world gather for an iconic celebration of dirt, chains and progression.
Returning from a two-year hiatus to the boneyard of Whistler, Canada, Red Bull Joyride 2022 lived up to the hype and delivered a slopestyle event like never before. Find out what went down in the top three runs below.

Emil Johansson’s winning run – Red Bull Joyride
Emil Johansson won Red Bull Joyride in 2019, and the Swedish slopestyle star has done it again in 2022.
Emil Johansson won Red Bull Joyride 2019, and since then the Swedish slopestyle star has been unstoppable. The now eight-straight Crankworx slopestyle winner unleashed an arsenal of textbook combination tricks on Saturday night to secure an early victory with a score of 94.6. Johansson’s run consisted of an early half cab bar-spin down the opening step down, a 360 double tail whip into an opposite 360 windshield-wiper on the four pack, as well as a double downside whip of the log jam.
A win at Red Bull Joyride 2022 solidifies Johansson’s stature as the undisputed king of mountain bike slopestyle and sets up the 23-year-old rider for another Triple Crown win in Crankworx Cairns or Crankworx Rotorua – a historic feat that has never been accomplished, let alone in a consecutive year.
