Whistler, BC, August 17, 2008 — SCOTT Progressive rider Lance McDermott earned a silver medal at the 2008 Crankworx Slopestyle contest with an impressive display of flip mastery. McDermott took second place by only a half point deficit to winner Andreu Locondeguy, who crashed in his first three attempts at pulling off a double back flip off the first booter, but pulled it together in his final run to impress the judges.

McDermott had a very solid qualifying round, stomping a huge front flip off the big dirt jump mid-course, something he continued to land throughout the contest. McDermott also nailed a flared back flip off the Kokanee drop in qualifying, but stepped up to a tremendous crowd pleasing back flip on-front flip off the final stunt. The crowd went wild and could barely get their heads around what just happened. No one has ever pulled a front flip off the final step down, and McDermott pulled three in his final run alone. “I only had a split second after flipping onto the box to brake check and then flip the other way,” said McDermott. “I have never tried to front flip off a step down, it felt awesome to land that in front of the huge crowd at Crankworx. I am going to build a step down at home to practice on now, so I can have more tricks locked up when I come back.”

SCOTT USA had excellent participation in this years “Bike to work” day, with 89% of the staff commuting to work today. “The parking lot was empty, and it was so good to see,” remarked Adrian Montgomery. “We also had a great promotion going for our local Jr. Cycling program, Road and Dirt. The Kranked 7 movie was playing that evening and all the proceeds went to them as well as a raffle for a SCOTT Voltage YZ-0 bike. We gave away water bottles at a station on the bike path with a chance to win movie tickets in the bottles as well as raffle tickets. I was so stoked when all the kids came by on their way to class, the elementary school even had to add extra bike racks for the week.”

SCOTT USA is a supporter of bike to work initiatives as well as the NBDA, BPSA, IMBA, Rails to Trails and the Mountain Bike Hall of Fame.
