@Roost66: They pick their story depending which country they are trying to sell bikes in. In Canada then its all "born on the north shore" and in the USA its all "Bellingham based", both of which are technically true

@bikeparkmemes: I thought they were from Hawaii, because of the name but duh, not the case.

@Roost66: They did use a lot of Hawaii themed model names as well, so understandable.

@Roost66: Dakine was confusing to me for similar reasons, as someone who started out surfing and transitioned to MTB much later. They did start in HI before moving to OR, mainly due to windsurfing in the Columbia River Gorge.

How come this is not televised? Live would be nice, but I will take a replay. I know it’s not part of the points count for Crankwork, but cmon it has to be one of the most entertaining and highly watchable events of the week.

Also, rad to see Vinny go past 90, judging by that pic?

whipoff was originally like a renegade event its actually wild to me that theres prize money going on here now. my first crankworx was a bunch of dirty mountain bikin bastards sneaking off over to crabapple and running their own goofy event, it was like my favorite thing that happened the whole week. back when hecklers rock was full of insanity during DH too lol.

I wonder if those prize payments are in Canadian or US dollars. If Canadian, the $1,500 first place prize translates to about $1,135 USD.

Compare: The 3rd place Elite finisher in a World Cup or World Championship DH race gets €1,250, or about $1,370 USD.
