Crankworx has announced it will be returning to B.C. in September for the second stop of the 2021 World Tour.

Over the space of 12 days, the second stop of this year's Crankworx series will feature nine events including Slopestyle. Competing at Crankworx B.C. are 32 King and Queen contenders and 14 Slopestyle riders qualified to compete in the Crankworx FMBA Slopestyle World Championship.

The event is set to visit the same locations as last year's CLIF Crankworx Summer Series, this includes SilverStar Mountain Resort, Kicking Horse Mountain Resort, Golden, and Sun Peaks Resort. Across Crankworx B.C. riders will compete in Downhill, Dual Slalom, Air DH, Pump Track, and Slopestyle.

Unlike last year's Summer Series, Crankworx B.C. will follow the format of a normal event with King and Queen contenders chasing points in the season overall titles. Slopestyle riders will be competing in the Crankworx FMBA Slopestyle World Championships and with a third Slopestyle event added for 2021 riders will now be able to chase the Triple Crown of Slopestyle prize.

More details about the event are set to be revealed closer to the event including the possibility of allowing spectators. Stay tuned for more information ahead of the event's kick-off on September 6.

 They really tore up the trails when they came through last year. But then again the trail crews smoothed out trails like arm pump and took out roots and filled in potholes and built berms so I guess it evens out in the end? I was surprised at how much wear some trails showed in just one week - more change than they got in months of regular people riding them.

 It's a good thing a portion of money raised last year went straight to trail maintenance at each stop.

 @lehott: @onemind123: ya’ll are starting to sound like neonazi right wingers who don’t want people from south of the border to visit your country. Check yourselves mates.

 @leviatanouroboro: calling people Neonazis for wanting to protect themselves during a pandemic really proves their point for them. Thanks for helping out.

 @peebeejay: not calling anyone a nazi. Just pointing out how those words read. The pandemic is effectively coming to an end. Canadians have been traveling freely through the states then going back to CA. Don’t have to be jerks about it.

 @leviatanouroboro: they need to get quarantined upon coming back in Canada so not as freely as you claim.

 its still hard for Canadians to return to Canada, so we're not quite ready for travellers yet. Hopefully soon

 I’m a Canadian and I’m excited for the border to be opened soon (maybe not quite yet). Some of us like visitors and are excited to visit some of the great places south of the border

 Can't wait to see the slopestyle course designed by Matt MacDuff and Brett Rheeder, hopefully they have been allowed to empty their minds into the design and have infinite budget.

 But the Dunbar Summer series is actually happening this year, they can't copy our events, venues, riders and tracks again this year! I mean I get thAt the DSS (Dunbatt Summer Series) is the best time of the year, but common CW! Get your own Summer series together.
