The Garbanzo DH at Crankworx is arguably one of the hardest downhill races on the planet, mainly because to win you have to beat Chris Kovarik and that means pushing yourself to the limit for 13 plus minutes. Unfortunately for Chris, Sam Blenkinsop did just that and destroyed the field by almost 10 seconds. Shout out to Jack Reading for his great 3rd place and to Eli Krahenbuhl for being the fastest engineer on the day as well as only American in the Top 10.

MotoGP rider Andrea Dovizioso of the Repsol Honda Team discusses key elements of racing while showing him cornering at 1,000 frames per second
European FMX legend Tom Pagès has seen the highs and lows of freestyle motocross more than most. Within the first two years of his FMX career, Tom and his brother Charles had gone from riding in their backyard to appearing before the entire world at X Games and X-Fighters events. The two brothers were among the very first riders to land the incredible frontflip on motocross bike, as well as attempt various other ground-breaking tricks.
They were considered some of the world’s best FMX riders, a position that most aspiring freestyle motocross athletes can only dream of achieving.Unfortunately Tom had lost sight of the true meaning of riding, and in the following few years chose to take a step back from the spotlight and mainstream competitions. He simply wanted to enjoy riding again and focus on the things really mattered.
