Before racing got underway in Austria, European Whip-Off Championships provided a hectic start to Crankworx Innsbruck 2021.
On the men’s side, Kaos Seagrave walked away with the gold for a whip that tests the limits of mountain biking and the laws of physics in equal measure. Austria’s Peter Kaiser snagged second while Kade Edwards, third, stole the show with a wild whip that wouldn’t come back. Full slow motion of that at the bottom.
New Zealand’s Robin Goomes took the reigns from perpetual women’s Whip-Off winner, Revelstoke, B.C.’s Casey Brown. Another Kiwi and Red Bull Formation rider, Jess Blewitt landed third.
