The first couple of days Crankworx are well under way. It is a non stop show of the who’s who in the Mountain Bike world. Couple of key highlights.
• Joe Smith rides the Supreme Operator.
• Karim Amour takes fourth in the Super Enduro with Matt Slaven in 7th.
• Angi Weston rocks her category in the Garbonzo DH to take the win.
• Aggy gets his first autograph of the event. guess who’s it is? Remember this guy
• LifeCycles screening… It blows minds.
Trestles Bike Park at Winter Park Colorado was the site for Crankworx Colorado where Clump riders Paul Bass and Graham Agassiz were on deck doing what they do best.
The finals were held this past Saturday with a lot of crashes due to high winds. Aggy threw down placing third overall after the first run. Bass did not fair as well and got shaken by the wind. For run number two, after a wind delay. Bass went for it for a second time and again was not successful battling the gusts. Aggy decided to stick with his first run as it was his “banger” after seeing Cam McCaul go down in a really bad way. Aggy finished fifth overall saving himself for Crankworx Whistler and the Rampage.
“Looking for a complete slope style bike that offers performance and mad steeze? Look no further, the trend setting, chrome ball burnished, 2010 Kona Bass slope style and dirt jump bike dishes up a very aesthetically pleasing design and colour, while setting the bar for slope style bikes.”
