Whip Off World Champs have a long history of unearthing relatively unheard of talent. Given the popularity of the event (and the potential consequence), many riders are required to qualify before the big day. This year's qualifiers played host to dozens of riders giving it everything they've got, but only a handful will make the cut. This gallery contains fourteen of the nastiest whips we saw.

Warren Kniss kicked things off with a bang. He got straight to business, showing off how a background in BMX and moto can combine to create something awesome. So nasty!
