Video: Going Cyclocross in the Peaks
Different style courses. XC is over much lumpier and tech terrain. Cyclocross is more like road criterium racing but in the off season on flat-ish, short circuits that include a fair amount of grass and mud.

A lot of people use Hussefelts with a 73mm 56mm BB, or Saints. The MRP camber cranks are meant to be great and they fit well. You can get around the clearance issue easily by using a wider BB and spacing it out. If you use an 83mm BB you can use almost any cranks, I had it setup with raceface diabolus and it was sweet!

Video: Strength in Numbers - Free Nepal Segment
I thank redbull for bringing countless extreme sports videos and events that I wouldn't have without them. Some of these events and videos got me into riding. All I saw in this video was unbelievable riding in a great setting, and a great advert for mountainbiking, not redbull. Maybe you were too busy sticking it to the man and fucking the system to see all the gnarly shredding.
