Chance Moore landed the first flipwhip 360 ever completed in a competition run, scoring 93.25 points during the inaugural Slopestyle Super League Finals at Crankworx Mont-Sainte-Anne. The trick had never been stomped when it mattered most, until a September afternoon in Quebec.
A run built for a record
Moore’s second run was already heavy with technical risk. He opened with a truckdriver, then moved through a backflip opposite tailwhip, a flare can can, an oppo 360 barspin, a frontflip barspin, and a double backflip can can before facing the final feature.
There, he launched into a flipwhip and added a late 360 rotation. He rode away clean, and the judges posted the number that moved him into the provisional lead.
One point, two firsts
The lead held only until the last rider dropped. Poland’s David Godziek answered with a run that included a twister no-hander 1080 and a cashroll windshield wiper — another world’s first. His score of 94.25 points edged Moore by a single point.
Moore took silver, a margin so thin it felt more like a shared breakthrough than a defeat. Switzerland’s Lucas Huppert finished third with 88.62 points.
The course that raised the stakes
The Mont-Sainte-Anne course, built by Velosolutions Canada with input from Bas Van Steenbergen and Matt MacDuff, gave riders the features they needed to push into new territory. It hosted the first top-level slopestyle event ever held in Quebec and opened a four-year Crankworx commitment to the venue.
Moore had thrown flipwhips before, notably at a Crankworx Summer Series event in Christchurch. Adding the late 360 and landing it in a contest final turned a practice-field trick into a benchmark. For a few minutes, he was the first men’s Slopestyle Super League World Champion. The title left his hands, but the trick stays his.
