Joel Ducrot | Winner of Crankworx Whistler Deep Summer 2024

On Joel: Born and raised in Switzerland, I learned to ride a bike pretty quickly after learning how to walk. Since then, mountain biking has been a common thread throughout my life. Taking on a multitude of shapes and forms, it became the main catalyst for what’s to come. It led me to picking up a camera at the age of 14 to document my friends and myself riding—initiating a way to be more intentional about my creative expression on both sides of the lens. My work’s goal is to showcase subject, context and movement from perspectives that get as close as possible to the feeling of the experience — and to evolve new ways of interacting with different environments. --- Crankworx is the ultimate experience in mountain biking.
