Beyond Crankworx

Swapping Jägerbombs for secret singletrack

 

Crankworx is without a doubt one of the most well-known and largest mountain biking spectacles on the planet. Combining the world’s best riders and plenty of drinking establishments is a guaranteed concoction for success. But the problem is the locations. Whistler, Rotorua and Les 2 Alpes are some of the most stunning settings in the world. Surely there has to be more to the area than simply gazing at it through the dreary eyes of last night’s Jagerbombs as the top riders do their thing?

Mark Scott, John Oldale from Fox, our amazing photographer Ben Winder and myself set off to try and find out. We wanted to have a look beyond the tail-whips that were being thrown down in the town of Les 2 Alpes. We wanted to stop just looking at the back drop and actually ride it. Check out the story:
