Arguably the most famous trail in the world, A-Line is the stuff of mountain bike legend and lore, renowned for its iconic drops, jumps on jumps on jumps, and giant, sculpted berms.  Since 2004, thousands have lined up at the start drop to find out for themselves, scrubbing, boosting and charging for the win. 

A select handful of highly experienced and skilled young athletes will have the opportunity to compete during this Crankworx event. Starting off the amateur category, these young superstars will set down a lap creating the benchmark for the amateurs and pros to follow.
