Sam Blenkinsop and Claire Buchar win the Garbanzo DH race at Crankworx, Whistler.

Is this the hardest downhill race in the world? Fourteen minutes of pain on a super difficult track. Could be.

Blenky and Buchar beat the pain and take home the giant cheques.

Marcel Gutierrez had a banger so too Jack Reading. Ben Reid just outside the top 10 (come on lads, lets have some blog action from Cranky!)

Manon Carpenter had a great ride for 2nd, just 7 seconds behind Buchar. (She beat her dad too. Carps senior had a bit of big smash, so get well soon J)

Oh and check out all the big names who DNS: Brosnan, Atherton, Hart, Fairclough, Riffle. It’s National Champ season so are they saving themselves?

Stay tuned for some Parkin Crankworx magic. (Come on lads, fire that laptop up and beam out the gold!)
