Zink doing the impossible off the Oakley sender during his first and only run. With his wife at the bottom two days out from giving birth, it's been a big week for the Zink family ( and soon to be)

Aggy dropping in big time. His build team was up here all night with a rock cutter getting ultimate last minute preps to get his drop absolutely perfect. As he goes here, Aggy continues to head straight down the hill.

Kelly McGarry full sequence over the canyon gap surprising the entire world with his massive flip.

Property lines. R-Dog style on the ridge.

Utah local Dustin Schaad falling the farther than most people ever should. Somehow he limped away from the whole thing.

The troll gods shining all their glory over the cottages below. Morning shine up to practice. Rising above the clouds.

Ratboy starting up the day in style on the jumps up top.

Greg Minnaar fresh off his World Championship title took minimal runs today, but looked good from underneath the bridge from the troll view.

Good to see Peaty back at it after taking MSA off. Hakuna Matata!

Early morning golden hour practice, Marcelo full throttle.

Power thrust over the line and the board goes green. Minnaar taking over the hot seat from Mick Hannah, patiently waiting as both Stevie and Gee to come down not knowing what could happen with two guys ahead of him that could easily dominate.

Tears of joy from Greg Minnaar winning World Championships in his home country of South Africa.

''Sometimes when you think you're going to have a bad day, you have a good day. I'm feeling pretty shitty so hopefully I'll ride well.'' Gully rode well. Top 10 on the day.

Flip to win. Semenuk joins the elusive ''Two Club.''

Brendog is going to whip you all day long.

Sam Dueck flip whipping over the dark clouds of Mordor. Dark skies and a little rain threatened the event, but not enough to effect any of the next level riding.

You can't tell how badass this gap is, but Ratboy here was one of the only guys clearing the hole after this rock. And this rock is slicker than Miami Bryce working a crowd of Quebecois local girls at tonight's after party.

Sam Hill getting bombarded by the media.

Rock N' Roll on Xanadu. Mostly a flowy trail except for the massive rock face halfway down.

Martin Soderstrom laying down a triple tail whip over the last jump. Martin had an amazing run and hope to see more of his big moves coming up at Crankworx Whistler
