This episode gives us a look at his last real chance to qualify for the Joyride contest he’s been working toward for a few months. Can he do it? Hit play and find out.

“This week on The Learning Curve with Drew Bezanson, we find the Canadian at the Colorado Freeride Festival, on the hunt for an elusive wildcard pick that could land him that coveted spot at Red Bull Joyride.
Midway through the season, with only 88 points of the 1,150 needed to qualify for the season finale event in Whistler, Bezanson is on the ropes as he stares down his last chance to fulfil five months’ worth of hard work.
Earning a first-place position in his first run, he gains some early momentum in the contest until a blown wheel on his second attempt throws a wrench in his plans. Can he get back on track and find the ticket to Red Bull Joyride he so desperately wants?”

The latest episode of Drew Bezanson‘s “The Learning Curve” series from Red bull has arrived. It looks like Drew’s plan to ride downhill bikes on top of BMX isn’t quite going to plan. We’ve honestly never seen Drew get so frustrated before, so this is definitely bringing out a whole different side of him. Hit play to see how things went for his first contest. Based off the teaser for the next video, it does look like things are starting to look up though!

“It’s often said that 10,000 hours of practice are required to become a master in any field. In this latest episode of The Learning Curve, Drew Bezanson is trying to do it with just two hours of practice before his first official contest run at 26 Trix in Austria, and following a shoulder injury that knocked him out of the Swatch Rocket Air event before even getting started.
With a hectic schedule split between BMX contests and his slopestyle endeavors, Bezanson’s frustrations begin to boil over as he battles with the extremes of going from a fourth place finish at X Games on his BMX, to a less-than-stellar finish in his first recognised slopestyle contest.”

The 3rd episode of Drew Bezanson‘s “The Learning Curve” series from Red Bull gives us a look at Drew putting in some work at Joyride 150 to learn some of the tricks on the bigger bike, along with some insight as Drew deals with being sidelined from injury for the first time thanks to a crash at his first contest. Nobody said this was going to be easy…

“On this week’s episode of The Learning Curve, we find Drew Bezanson putting in time at the Joyride 150 bike park warehouse, near Toronto, in Canada. With the mercy of a foam pit, Drew hucks his way to perfection as he prepares for competitive action.”

“Using the foam pit is key because of how fast I have to learn this stuff. If I was going to do it the old-fashioned way, on a regular jump, we probably wouldn’t be filming right now!”

This time around we get a little look into the first few days of riding the bigger mountain bike, dialing things in, then getting a look at his first session on a real downhill course. This is bound to get real interesting real fast once things really start picking up!

“This week, Drew Bezanson gets a new toy as he unwraps his all new Trek Ticket S slopestyle bike and takes it for a test-drive at his hometown park Joyride 150 in Toronto. He’s quick to realise that there is plenty different about the new setup besides just the size of the wheels…
Even the simplest things like transitioning through jumps takes on a whole new feel on these new set of wheels. Hanging with the big dogs at Crankworx Rotorua, Drew gets his first taste of the contest scene and first ride on the official slopestyle course.
