Day 1 of Whistler Crankworx is a wrap, so here is a group of photos that were captured during the event.

Check inside for Crankworx images...Day 1 of Whistler Crankworx is finished up and was a successful day. The weather was basically a slight rain all day, which should be a big help to the racers this week. The pits were getting rolling and the pro riders were hitting the tracks.

Big thanks to Lens Rentals Canada as well for sending through some lens's that have allowed me to take some unique shots. In these photos I used a Canon 70-200mm 2.8 IS II, and a 24mm 1.4L II, two very nice lens's! Thanks again to them!
