Hailing from southern Belgium, Thomas Genon has established a reputation as one of the best MTB slopestyle riders in the world. After promising results in 2010 and 2011, it all came together in a great FMB World Tour 2012 season.
Still a relatively unknown teenager, Genon secured a shock victory in Red Bull Joyride at Crankworx. “I was fixing my music at the top of the run and someone came over to tell me that I won the comp,” he said about the surprise victory.
