To give them their due, Vail don't seem to give a shit about anything to do with the guest experience, not just Crankworx. I could go full old man yelling at the clouds about all of the cost cutting, nickel and diming nonsense (WATER FOUNTAINS COST NOTHING!!!) that irks me these days.

I would agree. Vail taking over the resort didn’t help things either. They clearly didn’t give a shit about the event and made it harder and more expensive to do just about anything. I have a lot of respect for the small CWX team but they had zero pull with the Vail team. Not great conditions for a successful event.

My own feeling about Crankworx is that their drive to expand with multiple events all over the world and the 'Summer Series' events at smaller resorts has diluted their brand to the point where their flagship event in Whistler is no longer special or a draw for both international and local guests like it once was. Why travel all the...
If you believe the CEO of Madison, Jordan walked out on the last year of a signed contract with Madison/Saracen to link up with Specialized. You would speculate that a bigger salary, more professional setup and Specialized lawyers saying "LOL, try us" all played a part. You can read the comments from 'Dominiclangan' in this thread on the other site...

I still have a set of Kaiju's in rotation, spent years trying to find replacement boots from "real" snowboard brands that fit and feel like they do. They also bought and sold Bauer to get into then out of hockey, sponsored the Indian cricket team and produced some awesome cricket equipment, had a whole golf hardware division that they ended...

Nike has been in cycling a few times. Late 90’s and early 00 they had the Cairns and some other shoes. They were pretty good. Nike had a huge influence in snowboarding for a few years. Best boots ever and then just stopped.

To give him his full credit; Graves actually has a couple of Australian national championships in short-track XC formats plus 4X rainbow stripes, EWS overall, DH worlds bronze and made the finals in Olympic BMX.
I think it’s important to remember in the tech rumors forum that we all have dope bikes, tailored specifically for where we ride, and that it’s never the same everywhere for everyone and that minion DHF is still the best tire ever always

Crazy that Red Bull no longer wants their name associated with an event that raises important, totally relevant questions like; Who advances to the Slopestyle Super League Playoffs at Crankworx SilverStar (August 6–9) Who earns a bye and goes straight to the Slopestyle Super League Finals at Crankworx Mont-Sainte-Anne (September 3–7) Whose Slopestyle Super League season ends here I know...
