| Want to be a pro freerider? All you have to do is be one of the best in the world, ride through injuries, and perform in front of 30,000 spectators at Whistler's Kokanee Crankworx. |
One of the most exciting gravity fueled events happened over the last nine days in Whistler, B.C. and we were right their, front and center, to help support the biggest and best in the world. With the close of Kokanee Crankworx, comes the end of racing for over a thousand competitors and a victory that’s close to the SRAM family heart. We rode the rollercoaster of winning and injury since 2004 with Cam Zink and after two knee surgery’s and multiple “bumps and Bruises” in the road, we can only hold him high and celebrate his step to the top of the podium. Congratulations to Cam on an amazing run, in front of 30,000 spectators.

| To the winner goes the spoils! You can bet that Cam was a happy man. |
