Crankworx Day 4 Events
Garbanzo Downhill
It starts way up in the stratosphere, where giant old-growth firs wrap the forest floor with anaconda-thick root systems, whistling down forever over super steep slick rock, banging off stunts and natural hits along the way before opening it up rocket style to the finish.
3,400 vertical of arm pumping, finger cramping, non-relenting down hill that will test the likes of Gee Atherton, Brendan Fairclough, Steve Smith and current World Champion Sam Hill.
Format includes one run.
