Photo Epic: Whip Off - Crankworx Rotorua 2021
Running a compressed schedule due to weather, which we’ve already covered Speed and Style and Downhill, the Whip off was third up on a busy day of competition at Crankworx Rotorua.
Lasting about as long as an episode of Three’s Company, Mount Whip played host to a quick session of "To The Moon, Alice". Factor in two previous events and a continuing drizzle, this years edition of Whip off could be considered Whip-off Lite; not to say those that rode didn’t send, cause, well, they did.
I won’t bore you further with words, as they don’t do justice to the amplitude of the day, so enjoy!

You sometimes wonder how it's even possible to bring it back before the landing. Yet, they do it
You know what the trick is? Leopard skin pants and close your eyes
