With the world's gears just getting turning again, Crankworx has done something special. Brought together a collection of 25 racers from all over British Columbia for a no holds barred race series. Our first event will be the Enduro at Silver Star Mountain Resort. The course, a mix of flow, tech, and jumps, will give our athletes a level playing field to do battle. Arriving at Silver Star Mountain Resort we were greeted with tacky trails and friendly faces as friends old and new met for the first time in months. Things would soon change (for the trails anyway) as temperatures climbed in to the mid 30's and the moisture evaporated. For the women,, Casey Brown proved she can still hang with the racers just fine today. And top spot for the men, Finn Iles, a World Cup downhill racer, is enjoying getting his feet wet in this new discipline. Giddy up lets go racing!
Vaea Verbeeck and Georgia Astle lay down a solid pace through the open meadows of the first stage.
Ainhoa Ijurco and Lucy Schick both had some troubles on course today. Ainhoa retiring from the event with an injured shoulder.
Seth Sherlock and Kasper Woolley looking over the BC interior.
Bas Van Steenbergen and Kasper Woolley through the final stage. Kasper taking second place.
It's all smiles for these two today.
To be fair its an on the fly low budget race series so the good stuff cant be expected. No money was made in the making of this race.
A Local brewery could have been a better sponsor, or some Party in the woods ale :-P
Cheers
If I had to guess they probably steepened up the seat tube a hair, slackened the front end & maybe lengthened it to bring it more in line with current standards. The team was riding these all last year with angle sets to get an extra degree of slack and upforking to 170, so they probably brought them more inline with what they were riding
Also, glad to see that Finn isn't sporting the blond hair anymore, but surprised how much he looks like Steve-O now.
