Crankworx is turning over new chapters in mountainbiking. Check this clip out of the mayhem in the Dual Slalom comp. The timing went baps-up so all the riders took to the track in a 50x rampage down the course. Spot Mosely, Minaar and Happy Chappy Brian Lopes in the melee. Not sure who won, but it was highly entertaining.
Here's a quick edit from a day spent in the Whistler Boneyard filming riders from Womansworx (bad name, good skills though) and various Slopelords practicing for the slopelord event this weekend. The Lacondeguy Machine took a huge crash - overshooting a backflip landing by a good 15 feet. Dead for sure. But no. He suggested to our very own Mr. Chopper that perhaps brake checking a little after the Giro Trailer was in order.
The stack is at about 2m10s if you can't wait.
I missed Rennie, Minaar and Hill training the 4X course at about 1000mph. Mental to see. Everywhere you look something's going off. Not a bad week to be off the bike really, as the queues are immense anyway.

Yeah I know - the tyres are too thin, bikes too noodly, there’s too much lycra and not enough pies or leg-hair. But just this once, goddamnit, I’m going to put road content on the front pages of the Chocolate Log (risky, I know), if only because it is the biggest cycling event ever to hit the shores of Old Blighty.
