The Whip Off has become a classic event at each Crankworx World Tour stop, with the worlds best riders trying to one-up each other to come out on top you are always guaranteed to see some amazing whips. To fill the void of no Whistler Whip Offs this year we have put together 65 whips from past Crankworx whip offs, which is your favourite?

Kade and r dog have the best. Some aren’t even whips or the pic was taken too early so why put them in. No disrespect to the ladies but they should have their own section as they are not at the same level of whippage as the men.
everything makes sense, except for ryan howard at rotorua 2020 (second photo down). how is that not a 3? if thats a whip, how did he get there and more importantly, how is he getting it back?
It almost looks like he's going to land nose heavy but then he's Rdog so he wouldn't do that. It sorta looks like a front flip tailwhip but he's on a DH bike so he couldn't do that either
It was a tuff choice but all of Kade Edwards were great. So many of them could have just been do to the timing of the photographer. A lot of them I would not consider whips but scrubs or table tops. I wish we had a Brendan one footer.
I feel like Tyler McCaul is always underrated in these events (and many other events) and has such style and composure. His 2019 Whistler whip gets my vote
I'd like to see a video where the current competitors still perform whips, even if on smaller jumps. Or they teach the others who how to do em or do em better. Or a a format where 2 co-ed teams with Whip Off captains coach riders, and then the teams go head to head for team points.
This is why judged sports are a a joke. People have such a skewed sense of judging without a keen eye and rating on flashiness or favoritism. Not the duty of judging properly.
