CRANKWORX Live From Whistler BC

YOWZA!!! Whistler was ROCKIN' with tons of partying people, live bands, and the most INSANE mountain biking imaginable! Sheer good luck put us in Whistler just in time for Crankworx - a festival of all things down-hill, including the awesome Slopestyle freeriding. Check it out:

Dual Slalom: We saw Brian Lopes race the prelims - but he choked the finals!

This is Ryan Leach - the KING of Trials doing some incredible balancing tricks.

The Slopestyle was far and away the biggest crowd pleaser: Here's a "little" jump - only 15-20 feet maybe...

Everyone in the final round had to come off the jumbo-tron... a mere 25-30 feet...

and this is what happens when you biff the landing...

We did a lot of riding ourselves on the incredible trails around Whistler. Brian spent a day taking the lift/gondola up and enjoying the downhill bike park (and even saw a bear - yeah, a real one, just off the trail); and we also did some more epic cross-country trails. Here are some local shots:

We're on the road again, pointed towards home - but planning lots of stops along the way - including several days in the Bend/Sisters, Oregon area where the road and mountain biking just can't be beat. Stay tuned for more!
