STAKES ARE HIGH AT SILVERSTAR SLOPESTYLE WITH ALMA WIGGBERG & BEN THOMPSON GRABBING GOLD
Alma Wiggberg and Ben Thompson won SilverStar Slopestyle presented by Signature, the Slopestyle Super League (SSL) Playoff stop that sends the top 3 women and top 7 men to the SSL Finals at Crankworx Mont-Sainte-Anne, alongside pre-qualified riders Shealen Reno, Johanna Nussbaumer, David Godziek, Nicholi Rogatkin, Chance Moore.
With the best of two runs counting, the day came down to who could land a big first run or find something extra in the second. Both fields delivered: a first Crankworx win for BC local Ben Thompson, and a Mont-Sainte-Anne qualifying spot decided by less than a point.
Alma Wiggberg Wins With Dominance
Alma Wiggberg set the high score early with 84 points. Her first run - including a backflip tuck no-hander into a suicide no-hander to barspin, a backflip one-footed can, a backflip-barspin, and a no-foot can - held up as the best of the day. Lisa-Marie Blanc put herself in second from the get-go, securing Silver. This being her first Crankworx event, Michelle Neuner made the biggest jump of the women's field, going from 65.50 to 71.75 in Run 2 to move past Zoe Witwicki and take third by 1.75 points, punching her ticket for the SSL Finals.

Thompson's First Crankworx Gold

Brining an incredibly difficult yet clean run to the course, including a tuck no-hander front flip, 360 double down whip, switch 3 whip, 360 barspin to double downside whip and a 360 windshield wiper, he secured the top spot early. Erik Fedko took second after not improving on his Run 1 score. Young Canadian rider Ayden Siebenaler landed third with 82.25, his best result yet. Both Dane Folpp and Jack Feick, hungry for more, pushed it in their second run but couldn’t land it.

SSL Finals Spots Coming Down to the Wire
The last SSL Finals spot on the men's side wasn't settled until late. Axel Sparrman (SWE), riding his first-ever FMB Gold event, put down a 75.83 in Run 2 to take 7th and book his spot at Crankworx Mont-Sainte-Anne. That pushed out Kaidan Ingersoll, who'd crashed in Run 1 and come back with a 75.25 in Run 2 - good enough for 7th until Sparrman's score came in behind him.
Now the field is set for the inaugural Slopestyle Super League Finals at Crankworx Mont-Sainte-Anne (September 5). In a winner-takes-all format, results from earlier in the season don’t carry over, so every athlete gets an equal shot at becoming the first ever Slopestyle Super League Champion.
Athlete line-up for the inaugural Slopestyle Super League Finals:
JOHANNA NUSSBAUMER AND DAVID GODZIEK CLAIM INAUGURAL SLOPESTYLE SUPER LEAGUE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP TITLES
The first-ever Slopestyle Super League (SSL) Finals wrapped up today, closing out a the inaugural season built to create a pathway for emerging athletes and evens to reach the highest level of the sport. It's already a success story in its very first year with new competitions joining the pinnacle of the sport this season, and new faces shaking up the standings all year long. There were two ways to punch a ticket to these Finals - the top three men and top two women from the SSL Regular Season earned a bye straight to Mont-Sainte-Anne, while the rest of the field qualified through the SSL Playoffs at Crankworx SilverStar. The event marks a historic milestone for another reason too: it's the first-ever top-level Slopestyle competition held in the province of Québec. Riders had signaled from the very first practice session on this course earlier this week that they were ready for a big showdown, and they had big things planned.
Johanna Nussbaumer Claims The Title In Run 2
Shealen Reno led the women's field after the first run with 76.75 points, ahead of Johanna Nussbaumer, Lisa-Marie Blanc, and Michelle Neuner. Alma Wiggberg crashed on the wooden ramp and finished run 1 in fifth, opting not to drop for run 2. The field stepped it up in the second round: Michelle Neuner improved her score, while Lisa-Marie Blanc couldn't land her final trick and scored a DNI (did not improve). Then Johanna Nussbaumer put together a clean, solid run for 89 points, stringing together a Suicide Barspin, Alleyhoop Barspin, Barspin Up to Toboggan Down, a massive 360 and a Backflip Barspin on the final feature, pushing Shealen Reno off the top of the leaderboard. But she was ready to reclaim the top spot and started off with a combination of an X-Up, Tuck No-Hander, Barspin, that truly showed the progression Shealen Reno has achieved over the past few years. Going for a Backflip up onto the wooden drop, she took a tumble in the same spot Wiggberg had crashed earlier, resulting in her staying in second.
History Is Made As David Godziek Secures the Title
David Godziek topped run 1 with 92.5 points, just 3.25 ahead of Chance Moore, who came into the day hungry for the Slopestyle World Champion title. Lucas Huppert, riding a great season, sat third after run 1 with 88.62 - less than a point off Moore and ready to push in run 2. All three scores held through the start of the second round, when Lucas Huppert took a big hit off the flat drop, resulting in a DNI and him cementing his bronze medal. Dropping second-to-last, Chance Moore delivered a stacked run: Truckdriver, Backflip Oppo Tailwhip, Flare Can Can, Oppo 360 Barspin, Frontflip Barspin, Double Backflip Can Can - and capped it with a Flipwhip to late 360, a world's first in competition, for 93.25 points and the provisional lead. That put the pressure squarely on David Godziek, who had yet to drop. And he delivered: Half-Cab Barspin, Cashroll Tailwhip, Flare Barspin, Double Tailwhip, Backflip Barspin, and a finale of Twister No-Hander 1080 into a Cashroll Windshield Wiper - another world's first in competition - reclaiming gold by a single point.
Slopestyle Super League Finals – Top 5 Men
1. David Godziek (POL) - 94.25 pts 2. Chance Moore (CAN) - 93.25 pts 3. Lucas Huppert (SUI) - 88.62 pts 4. Axel Sparrman (SWE) - 86 pts 5. Erik Fedko (GER) - 85.81 pts
With the Slopestyle World Champion title on the line, athletes across the board were ready to step it up in their second run which also brought a wave of crashes, catching Jack Feick, Nicholi Rogatkin, Shealen Reno, Lisa-Marie Blanc, and Lucas Huppert. Kaidan Ingersoll landed his first clean run since battling injuries before going down in run 2, finishing eighth with a strong 81.5 points. Nicholi Rogatkin looked to be on the path to gold with a banger run - Cork 7 onto the step-up, followed by a Double Tailwhip and Cashroll Whip - before crashing on the final feature attempting a 1440 – another world’s first he slightly overrotated. Axel Sparrman capped his rookie season at the sport's highest level with a clean run for 86 points and fourth place, after only just landing on the map through the SilverStar qualifiers.
The course took another main character spot this week. Built by Velosolutions Canada in collaboration with Bas Van Steenbergen and Matt MacDuff, it was the perfect canvas for the athletes to get creative and go big, resulting in multiple “World’s First” and arguably some of the best Slopestyle runs in the history of the sport.
Highlights from the most important event at Crankworx, hosted by none other than Ed Bull Media House himself:
