Whistler B.C. Canada

The Crankworx Festival is in the history books and WOW! what an event.  Great weather, great crowds and amazing mountain to ride all day.

Whistler Crankworx decided to put on a Giant Slalom which was a longer slalom than normal which has riders riding head to head down a amazingly groomed slalom track. Qualifying didn’t go to well with a big mistake in my second run putting me in 11th spot. I knew I would have my work cut out in the finals. I advanced to the round of 16 but met up against a very strong Bmxer/4x rider Joost Wichman.. It was close in the first heat but I ran out of legs in the 2nd run, thus getting knocked out. I was a bummed but knew I had one more event that would suit me a little bit better… the Canadian Open of Downhill.

Bromont, Canada
The mid-summer swing of the UCI MTB World Cup series drops off the Mongoose squad outside of Montreal, Canada in lush green town of Bromont, Canada. The landscape coming into Bromont appears to be rather flat but along the way there are molehill-like mountains speckled along the south eastern border of Canada. Don’t let the “mile-hill” reference fool you though as the mountain in Bromont has all of the steepness and technicality of any downhill course found in the world.
