Fox Air DH Photos - Crankworx 2014
 |
 Leanna Gerrard opted to rock a vintage Cannondale Judge in the Air DH; this is the bike she used to race professionally almost a decade ago in the NORBA series. "I brought a set of allen keys in case I need to bolt anything back on during my race run." |
 |
| How to lose focus immediately prior to your race run: get pinned down by Brett Tippie 2 minutes before start time... it's kind of like being caught in a tornado. A mile a minute and a joke a second tornado, but still a tornado... |
 |
| Two approaches to getting the game face on: on the left, Casey Brown and Tracy Hannah keeping it light during their warm up for the race; on the right, Jill Kintner going into racer mode, spinning the pedals backwards while leaning on a post--an old racer's trick to keep the legs warmed up when one can't spin on a trainer. |
 |
| Casey Brown gunning down the A-Line Drop. |
 |
| Tracey Hannah, coming in to the finish line for third spot. |
 |
| Dropping in: Anneke Beerten at speed over the GLC drop. |
 |
| Anneke Beerten going full gas for the finish aboard her brand spanking new 650b Specialized Enduro. |
 |
| Jill has always done well in Whistler, and this day was no exception. Brett Tippie getting the inside scoop on why she won by such a large margin. |
 |
| Final results for pro woman: Jill Kintner (1st), Anneke Beerten (2nd), and Tracey Hannah (3rd). |
 |
| Some racers use trainers. Some calisthenics. Others spin the cranks backwards while leaning on a wall. But when it comes to warming up, Wyn Masters takes the top prize by riding wheelies. |
 |
| Graeme Pitts waving the flag and making tables flat enough to serve drinks off of. |
 |
| The cast of Nitro Circus was here to play too. Travis Pastrana playing on a mountain bike. |
Travis stays on course, but not rubber side down:
 |
| Stacy Kohut givin' er on his A-Line run. |
 |
| Ethan Roberts of the Nitro Circus with the steezy no-footed can-can. |
 |
| Mark Wallace whipping it out for 14th place. |
 |
| Ben Yeager from Prince George pinning it through the finish line. |
 |
| Danny Hart was a little off the pace today finishing 4.86 seconds behind the leader, but still pulling off third place. |
 |
| Winner of the Fox Air DH was Mick Hannah, narrowly edging out local-ish boy Chris Kovarik by 1.2 seconds. |
 |
| Men's Pro Air DH Podium: Chris Kovarik (2), Mick Hannah (1), and Danny Hart (3). |
Stay tuned for more action from Crankworx 2014 here in Whistler, BC.
