We haven't brought you to much lately on Chris Kovarik and Claire Buchar, but they have been up to a hell of a lot over the past few weeks, and are just finishing up in Whistler now after a series of Crankworx events. Here is a little rundown of their travels and results...

Crankworx Garbanzo DH

Day 2 of Kokanee Crankworx was the Garbanzo DH, there were 320 athletes in the pro and amateur categories taking to the 12km long course, In the men’s pro category, Chris took first place with a time of 13:22. Congrats!

Crankworx AIR DH

"The Air DH is an unusual race that involves an excavated hard-packed track full of jumps(48 to be exact)and berms. The goal is to stay low on the jumps, stay off the brakes in the berms and sprint your butt off"

Claire had a great race, and despite the wear and tear on the body, came out with a 6th place which she is really happy with. All of the worlds best women DH riders were competing, so congrats Claire!

Chris didn't have quite as much luck, and ended up crashing out. You can check out cool videos from the event HERE and HERE, as well read up on Claire's full blog and results from the event HERE.

Candaian DH Open

It was a hot and slightly humid day at Whistler, 33 degrees to be exact, and dusty, really dusty. Claire put in an awesome effort and came out with a stunning 2nd place. You can read Claire's blog from the Canadian DH Open HERE.
