Replay: 2011 Kokanee Crankworx Dual Slalom 18
Mitch Ropelato wins the Crankworx Dual Slalom. Full results available here.
In the longstanding tradition of you versus me, side by side, the clock our eternal enemy, the Dual Slalom pitches amateurs and pros alike down a wicked blazer of a finely sculpted track as it races beside the Boneyard Slopestyle course. The action runs all day, and only gets more heated as the sun goes down.
Format: Time Trials - 2 runs, combined time. Number of riders advancing to the Elimination Finals and seeding will be determined for each category based on registration totals and results of Time Trials.
Finals: Winner of the head-to-head two run differential-time race will advance to next round.
Be sure to view Vital MTB's entire lineup of LIVE broadcasts and replays from Kokanee Crankworx.

If the winner doesn't risk bloody nipples it's not Dual Slalom.

E bot....why would you need brakes? I, personally, hate tracks that intentionally rob me of speed and flow.
Any update on the injured rider?

Really? To me it looked like Mitch won by pedaling his ass off.

Stoked for Mitch, but that track was a pump track not a DS. There is no way a one gear and no front break with park tires rider would even make it down a real DS track. A DS track needs more turns and the need for breaks to count in my book! Still pumped that Mitch took out mr.55

Easy Pip, Mitch and Cody are best friends and Cody is 15 or 16 and was just frustrated. Although I would agree that if you didn't know that it did look like poor sportsmanship.

That was disgusting sportsmanship from Cody Keller towards Ropelato. Can't even find the decency to shake his hand. Poor show.

Sucks that Mitch had to race Cody Kelly early on, Cody is a ripper. Good to see Lear in there too! Mitch slayed that track! Sick!
