So we're here at Crankworx and very, very stoked. The events kick off tomorrow and run until the 24th, with everything from the Criterium to the Canadian Open and expos happening in between. Every evening you can expect to see wrap up coverage of the day's events, so stay tuned for that.

In the meantime, anybody else feel like Gee's due for a bunch of wins here?

I want to see lots of top pros playing on the pump track. Please set up camp there as I've had day dreams of such things ever since the vids of Fairclough getting nutty on the Sea Otter track.

Pros goofing off on pump tracks makes you re-think your skill level.

You ever seen him out shooting before? I'm curious to know what he's using for a dolly (like on those low lip shots on crabapple).

Definitely been killing it with the whistler promos.
not entirely sure, but I know he's been using a big boom for a lot of the stuff in this series

Criterium happened this evening as well, an interesting spectacle. Going through photos now and will have a "Welcome to Crankworx" article up soon.

Bet it's wet up there today... I think I'll give it a miss.

I think I'll head up there tomorrow though. Along with my Uncle.

Anyone watching the Open DH right now? I see a RM member or 2 in the pro men's category. Track looks wet and gnarly though I definitely miss Rob Warner.

Another day and the same goofball on the mic. Pretty obvious that Steve Smith was a bit annoyed by his elementary bro-brah questions.
