Spank teamed up the iXS DH Cup, EVO Sports Bar and Ride SRL to bring the whip off to the first annual iXS South American Cup in Bariloche, Argentina. This spectator favorite brought in droves of fans eager to soak up some sick moto-whip action. The crowd got rowdy as South America's top riders threw down in this wild event.

The crowd in Bariloche was fired up to see South America s best throw down at Cerro Catedral.
South America's top DH and FR athletes were invited to compete, earning points for amplitude, style, the degree of whip and landing.
