First Crankworx practice of the season brings new bike setup, fresh sponsor news, and a first look at the course in Innsbruck. Alex heads to the airport after building up a new bike with Reverse Components parts, then checks out the slopestyle line before riding the big jumps, step-down, and quarter pipe.

The course is mostly familiar, but there are a few changes, including a stepped feature where the boner log used to be and a quarter pipe at the end. The jumps look huge at first, the speed feels fast, and the first laps are all about figuring out the run, testing the new setup, and getting comfortable again after rain-softened spots on the track. There’s also a fun off-bike detour as the crew goes to the golf course, where Alex tries golf for the first time.

This mix of mountain bike slopestyle practice, Crankworx course preview, bike build clips, and day-in-the-life riding footage captures the nerves and excitement before the event. It’s a solid watch for fans of MTB slopestyle, freestyle mountain biking, dirt jump riding, and behind-the-scenes training sessions.
