Well had a brief msn chat with peel member chris currie today and he asked me should he do the garbanzo dh. Well naturally i said yes because we love to put our mates into unknown danger. Now if your not fimilar with the garbanzo here’s a brief description from the guy’s at whistler.
It starts way up at the tippy top of the Whistler Bike Park and then goes down forever. This year’s epic enduro downhill pits both World Cup and local riders against 3,400 vertical feet of roots, rocks and muchos grande air… fingers will cramp, eyes will water, and brake pads shall smoke like a bush fire.
Now for an idea of times Sam Hill won by 30 seconds last year with a time of 14:25:07 passing brian lopes on his way.
This is all part of the Kokanee crankworx which chris will be at all week, so hopefully he’ll also get some great shot’s he can pass on to us for the site. http://www.crankworx.com/whistler/home.php
Well post a comment in the comment box and tell him what to do….. RIDE IT FOR PEEL.
