Kokanee Crankworx gets kick-started with a community launch party to celebrate the biggest mountain bike festival on the planet. The Block Party takes place in Skiers Plaza, and for 2010 we are going retro to celebrate the 10th anniversary of New World Disorder 1 – the epic movie that has built the franchise like no other in the world of freeride mountain bike. Before Crankworx, before the Whistler Mountain Bike Park, Derek Westerlund and his crew of riders starting capturing the raw energy that has year after year, captured a segment of mountain biking that we all live and breath for. Let’s roll back the time machine and watch this old classic, plus we are going to also see some behind the scenes footage, interviews from some of the original crew and we’ll also have a few surprises. Post premiere, stick around for Damage Inc http://www.damageinc.net/. Cover charge is $5.00 at the door.

The Block Party is an all-ages FREE event and we’ll be throwing out some prizes too. We’ll be turning on both of our massive big screens and the sound system to show NWD to make a very unique outdoor theatre setting – watch from the Skier’s Plaza or park yourself in the Boneyard to kickback and reminisce. For those of the 19+ age set, the Garibaldi Lift Company will be also carrying the feed of the show and will have a full night of entertainment after the movie. You can come join the NWD gang and toast a few cold glacier fresh Kokanee.
