Mountain Biker Paradise: Cranworx Whistler 2012

When Cranworx rides into town this weekend Whistler becomes a nonstop adrenaline filled, party town for 10 days. Beginning August 10th and wrapping up the 19th Crankworx Whistler features the best downhill, bike jumpers and extreme athletes in the world. Along with that follows tens of thousands of spectators making it one of the biggest parties Whistler holds every year.
Daily events range from the Fat Crit, a race through the streets of Whistler Village and the Best Trick, a number of extreme athletes launching themselves off gravity defying jumps while busting out their best tricks. These are just 2 of the 16 contests that will be held throughout the 10 day event.
Along with the daily events also comes the nightly parties. For 10 days Whistler transforms into a party mecca with each of the various nightclubs and bars in Whistler hosting nightly events to coincide with the festivities.
So if you've never been than get your butt up to Whistler for Crankworx and watch by day party by night.
