Of course we had to get out there and amongst it at Crankworx Rotorua 2018! The weather was once again a bit iffy, but we managed to pump through all the goodness that Crankworx has to offer, including the Pump Track Challenge, Slopestlye, Whip off, and Downhill events. We were there at the finish coral soaking in that goodness and supporting our athletes. Check out some sick photos from the event below.
