Kurt Sorge

The Hoff Fest takes place in Kurt Sorge’s backyard, Rettallack Lodge, so it’s no wonder he was among the most stylish riders throwing down. This whole video is jam packed with whips we could have used but we picked Sorge’s because he holds it for so long and lands it super clean.

Eliot Jackson

The second Queenstown edit in the list but it couldn’t be more different to the first. Whereas Brannigan was raw and ragged, Eliot Jackson shows off his buttery-smooth style as he flows round the Skyline Park – now we want to see him do it in his signature slippers.

Remy Metailler

You don’t become the unofficial King of Whistler without being able to throw out a tasty whip or two. Metailler is known for his crazy lines and near-impossible hucks, but it’s his silky style that gets him included on this list.

Finn Iles

When a social media campaign successfully secured Finn Iles a spot in Crankworx we were expecting the youngster to have a few runs down the track, get stoked on shredding with the world’s top pros and then probably carry on with his normal life.

At the age of 14, Finn shocked us all by out-whipping all comers and propelling himself into the mountain biking spotlight. Just two years later he’s winning World Cups – what a fairy tale!

Bernard Kerr

Queenstown seems to attract more whippers than the Grand National and this third Skyline edit is no exception. The Surrey shredder may have had to go halfway around the world to show off his whipping prowess but he makes the trip worthwhile with an edit like this. The oringinal’s pretty good too.

Graham Agassiz

In terms of amplitude, this is definitely the biggest whip on show. Aggy’s Reunion was the first ever FEST series event, and there still aren’t many bigger jumps on the planet. This whip from Agassiz is the ender to the highlights reel and he goes stratospheric.
