Finally finding happiness after years of being the slopestyle champion with Brett Rheeder

What happens when you realise the thing that has given you purpose and identity in life is no longer making you happy? That was a question that slopestyle icon Brett Rheeder had to contend with in 2019, as he first started to wonder about retiring from competition. Three years later he roared back to win Red Bull Rampage, an iconic freeride mountain biking competition held in the Utah desert, for the second time with a whole new mindset – and then finally stepped away from competing for good.Brett is regarded as one of the greatest slopestyle riders in mountain biking, a discipline where riders fly through the air, spinning their bikes and bodies in multiple directions with the aim of accumulating the highest points for their trick combinations in each run.Speaking to Rob and Eliot in Whistler at Crankworx – a multi-stop series of mountain bike festivals which brings together the best mountain bikers to compete in elite level competitions – Brett’s honesty and openness about the personal journey he’s been on over the past few years is fascinating… and lots of fun.From his eye-opening first competitions on the pro scene – including a spot of concussion mixed with altitude sickness – to becoming arguably the greatest slopestyle rider of all time, Brett’s been on one hell of a journey.Enjoying Just Ride?
