Monster Energy Garbanzo Downhill

2010 Date TBA
It starts way up at the tippy top of the Whistler Mountain Bike Park and goes down forever. This year's epic downhill challenges both World Cup and local riders against 3,400 vertical feet of roots, rocks and muchos grande air... fingers will cramp, eyes will water, and brake pads will be smokin' like a bush fire. Can someone bust the 14-minute mark?

All races and the WomenzWorx events are open to pro and amateur riders (amateurs enter in age categories starting at 13 years of age). Crankworx has a huge purse of $80,000 cash for the pro’s and over $50,000 prizes for the amateurs! The Slopestyle events are by Invitation only.
