Worldclass bikers are in gear to show their moves at SilverStar Mountain Resort this weekend.
The Crankworx Summer Series goes Friday, Aug. 1 through Monday, Aug. 4 with the return of the thrilling Dual Slalom and FMB Gold Level Women’s Slopestyle event.
“Crankworx is always a highlight on our event calendar, and we can’t wait to bring world class biking back to the Okanagan for another summer,” communications and PR specialist Megan Sutherland says.
“We are especially excited to have the dual slalom race back this summer and to host for the second year running the women’s event in the FMB Gold Level Women's Slopestyle, it really is going to be something quite special.”
New this year is the Kidsworx edition featuring downhill and pump track races for the littles.
The full SilverStar schedule features a number of favourite events, including the Rheeder Slopestyle, in the FMB Gold Level Men’s & Women's Slopestyle with the course designed by local athlete Brett Rheeder, Dual Slalom events as well as Pump Track challenges and the BC/Canada/UCI Continental Cup Downhill events.
The festival showcases some of the world’s best biking across several multi-discipline events for all levels and ages, as well as celebrating the mountain bike community through free live music, art, culture and food.
“It's going to be an action-packed weekend filled with big air, fast berms, and some of the world’s best riders,” Sutherland says.
“This is the weekend of the year to rub shoulders the world’s best top ranked mountain bikers, right here on our doorstep and it’s all free to watch.”\
