Battling Whistler's 1199 DH Track - Rooted MTB Goes to Crankworx

The Rooted MTB crew celebrates Whismas in the most grueling way possible: racing the Canadian Open. A bucket list race on a bucket list track did not disappoint. Absolutely brutal and relentless, but in the best way possible. Enjoy as the team gets to dice it up between the tape with some of the world's fastest racers.

The big drops on the course were pretty much the only spot to loosen your grip and recollect yourself. 

The lower rock garden was no joke. Your arms were cooked and you would drop into the most steep difficult part of the course. It put those Maven's to work. 

Harrison keeping it smooth and fast.

Austin had the best number plate.
