Growing up in Squamish, B.C. Crankworx Joyride both felt like Ben Thompson’s backyard, and also a world away. It’s one thing to grow up watching Joyride. It is entirely another thing to actually qualify to compete in the exclusive, invite-only crown jewel of slopestyle.
And, as Thompson discovered when he realized his lifelong dream of riding Joyride, getting there is just the start of the journey. Nothing for Granted follows the slopestyle rider’s journey to Crankworx and through the grueling week leading to Red Bull Joyride.
