Whistler Bike Park Trails: Speed & Style course in the Boneyard

In words of past winner Martin Soderstrom, the name of the game in Speed & Style is: “go fast and do tricks.” Easier said than done.

Combining elements of Dual Slalom and Slopestyle, Speed & Style challenges athletes to out-race and out-trick their opponent in this head-to-head format.

Two riders race against each other and try to make it to the finish as quickly as possible while performing the most stylish run. The winner is calculated based on their speed, with additional points awarded for style.

SPECTATOR VIEWING INFO:
Start in the plaza and walk up the spectator viewing routes (located on either side of Dual Slalom and Speed & Style courses). One route will take you through the A-Line finish to the start of Dual Slalom and Speed & Style. The other spectator viewing route will take you to a spectator viewing area located in the middle of the Dual Slalom and Speed and Style tracks.

Pro tip: The spectator viewing route that takes you to the middle of the Speed & Style track is our favourite viewing spot, as you will enjoy unrestricted views of two key Speed & Style features.
