Day 2 of Loosefest and everybody’s getting more comfortable on these massive jumps. First tricks are being done and trains are getting started.
This week, Drew Bezanson gets a new toy as he unwraps his all new Trek Ticket S slopestyle bike and takes it for a test-drive at his hometown park Joyride 150 in Toronto. He’s quick to realise that there is plenty different about the new setup besides just the size of the wheels…
Even the simplest things like transitioning through jumps takes on a whole new feel on these new set of wheels. Hanging with the big dogs at Crankworx Rotorua, Drew gets his first taste of the contest scene and first ride on the official slopestyle course.
Getting some insight from slopestyle legends Sam Pilgrim, Max Fredriksson, Thomas Genon and Nicholi Rogatkin, Drew begins his quest for the magic number 1150 – the number of points he will need to accumulate to qualify for Red Bull Joyride.
