Crankworx 2009

As we woke up from last nights mayhem we thought the Sunday would be a good wrap up the week episode and it would be mellow. Boy were we wrong as we headed up for the Canadian Open DH we realized this might be the topper off to a successful…

What a great day it was. Who knows how many people were there but definitely it was the biggest Slopestyle yet. John Cowan designed a sick course with all the custom features being big but with good flow. The wind was a bit of a let down and riders had…

Tough to say which was better, the style of the dirt jump jam or the speed of the giant slalom. Either way we captured it all and an interview with the legendary Shaun Palmer. Lopes took the gold and Tippie talked trash so pretty much another average day in the…

The weather continues to be the largest challenge for the riders up here at crankworx. The rain cancelled the VW trick showdown pushing it until saturday morning. What a day that is going to be. One thing the rain doesn't cancel is parties. All crews were out in full force…

Lopes is an Animal!    He beat his record on the Air DH by 2 seconds (4th win in a row) and was still competing at 11pm in the Tippie-hosted cupcake eat-off at the Saint Deep Summer Photo Challenge.  He Lost.  With a sellout crowd Mattias Fredricksson took the award…

The weather cleared up just in time for the third annual Womenzworx competition and we are stoked it did because missing the chance to watch these girls destroy the mountain (and almost themselves in a few cases) would have been a crime. We enlisted  Katrina Strand and Lisa Lefroy to…

A VERY rainy day made us work a little harder to bring you coverage of what was a pretty slow day in Whistler. In the end though we got some great footage of the airdome (have you ever been in there? it's pretty cool) and some POV footage of a…

Whistler Creek Productions is proud to present Day 2 of our Crankworx coverage. Today's event was the Monster Garbanzo DH. With a changing weather pattern hanging in the air Brett Tippie and the crew set up in the Garbanzo zone to cover it. A bit of rain added on to…

Day 1 of 8 - Whistler Creek Productions begins their 8 days of Crankworx coverage with some hilarious footage from host Bret Tippie and sweet race footage of the dual slalom. Toss in an interview with Kranked creator Bjorn Eng

Get onboard with Marc Beaumont (GBR) as he launches down the epic Monster Energy Garbanzo DH in Whistler, Canada. This is Marc's actual race run, in full, just to illustrate how tough and long this race is. The Team GT rider finished in 13:58.55, taking fourth place, only 14 secs…
