Imagine if you will a crankbrothers athlete. What do you see? Incredible climbers, amazing handling skills, blazing speed, and world champions? While all these qualities ring true, to us it takes more then strong legs and lungs. It takes a big heart. Our athletes spend countless hours running charities, organizing ride clinics, and building new places to ride. They are stewards of the trail, happy to chat or give you a tube to get you rolling. But don't be fooled by their down-to-earth ethos. Crankbrothers riders can ride with the best of them. In fact, many of them are the best, and they've proven it on the world's stage.
From xc climbs, to all-mountain epics, to dh runs, to freeride expression sessions, they embody the spirit of mountain biking, and we're honored that they choose to ride with us.

Needless to say, I came prepared and motivated to have a good, clean result this time around...
