Nuke Proof and Straitline sponsored rider finished 11th at the Colorado Crankworx. here's his report from the event:
Paul, Wyper, Howey, and I loaded up the ol’ Ranger on Tuesday morning, and departed from Whistler at 2:00 PM. The truck was full to say the least, but lightened up a bit once we dropped Howey off at his house.
The 31 hour drive was on, making it to America, and passing through Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Utah, and Wyoming, until finally making to Colorado! It was good times nonetheless, picking up fireworks, cowboy hats, and eating breakfast at an awesome little place called Snake River Grill!
We arrived at Winter Park around 9:00 PM, and quickly met up with Brett Rheeder, who’s dad generously gave us a place to stay and even cooked some awesome meals for us! The next morning we checked out the course, and started practicing once Dual Slalom finished. They did an awesome job with the course this year, making good use of the hillside available. Previous years had always started big, gotten small in the middle, and ended big, making for tons of braking and pedaling. This year started really small, but got bigger and bigger, making for a course that flowed great and was fun to ride. It didn’t take long to get it dialed, so everyone was quick to start tricking! Luckily I was prequalified, which took off some stress, and finals were on for Saturday! The weather was great and there were some amazing sunsets as well!
Finals were windy to say the least, and unfortunately gave most riders problems. I got lucky, as it died for my first run. My run went perfect to plan, with a flip off the step-down, 1-foot x-up out of the satellite, no-foot-can up the step-up, tailwhip off the step-down, 1-foot-x up the box, straight air off, flip on the Hooter Booter, 1-foot-x on the long and low, to a tailwhip over the last jump! My 2nd run didn’t go quite as well. It started the same as the first, but I cased up onto the box and had to stop because I didn’t have the speed to jump off. My first run was good for 11th place though, so I’m psyched on that!
