Crankworx 2008 (Version 5.0)

Spending the week up here with CBX and riding with a bunch of good friends.Friday got a little park time in after working most of the day. Conditions were beautiful and they were setting up the village and the boneyard is getting pimped.

Saturday, it rained a big chunk of the day, so we watched some bike pron and hung out for a bit. Whafe has a new Nicolai (look at the pics over in the Nicolai forum if you have a drool rag) and was chompin’ at the bit to get out for a spin on it and he needed to get some laps on the Garbo DH course, so he talked Muttonchops and me into getting out for some laps. The top was MUCKY and super sketch……but it was gonna be a fun race for sure. After, we hooked up with MattPatt and Goose to watch some dual slalom action.

Rachel Atherton. She ended up getting beat by Anneke Beerten (sp?) who might have one of the best gate starts I’ve ever seen.

(JD Swanguen and Sam Hill. JD ended up winning the whole thing and really put on a cornering clinic.)

    Hi,
    I’m a French rider and I did the Garbanzo downhill race and the Air dh this summer during the Crankworx in Whistler. I found out some pics of these events on your website, so I’d like to know if you would have some pics of me… I was the number 364 in the junior men category, with a blue troy lee D2 helmet, a white and red tld jersey, and a bike Mondraker black and blue.
    Thanks,

    Ulysse
