Mitch Ropelato and Jill Kintner win Crankworx Pumptrack Challenge
Woot woot, an amazing night under the Whistler stars at the Crankworx Rockshox Pumptrack Challenge!
Big crowds, big screen and big track, meant an epic nights racing under the floodlights in the Olympic Park.
Fast and frenetic, pump and flow, manuals and popping…this event had it all. Brosnan, Ropelato, Fairclough, Soderstrom, Cody Johnson were all looking rapid from the get go. Soderstrom keeping the crowd entertained with tailwhips and barspins over the finish line double. Johnson rode fast and smooth all night for bronze. Good to see Troy Brosnan back on a bike and pinning it again! Perhaps too fast as he washed out on the final inside berm, handing the advantage to the man in the white suit, Mitch Ropelato who well deserved the win win his rocketship speed!
Micaylo Gatto and Jill Kintner went head to head in the final with Jill taking the win for the second year in a row.

Nice to see they weren’t all pedalling like last year. Looked like a fun event and motivated me to finish our track
who’s the guy in the red bull helmet and pink t-shirt?
So billy. If you skipped the beers and the party to get this out, it must have been cider and the after party for you right?
