Crankworx CO slopestyle finals in photos
Aug 1, 2011 at 9:18
The finals for this year's Crankworx CO was nothing short of exciting. The contest was heated and riders had to preform at their best in hopes to be on the podium. After the first run Cam McCaul stood in first place with a solid lead with a 93. His tuck no hander front flip wowed the judges, along with his clean trick packed run.
Brandon Semenuk, no stranger to the podium had a tall order to fill. After finishing his first run in 7th place Semenuk stepped it up and threw down a sick run in the wind ending with a double whip to move himself up into 3rd place. 3rd place for this guy is not satisfactory, Brandon was able to edge our Pilgrim in the super finals to take second. Both Semenuk and Pilgram gave McCaul a run for the money, but came up a little short.

 |
| Reece Wallace had some clean runs in the finals. A nice 360 into the dirt dish. |
 |
| Mitch Chubey was working hard to get onto the podium. After landing this truck driver clean, he then was trying opo-tailwhips. |
 |
| Conor Macfarlane had a good weekend making it into the finals but feel short from the super finals. |
 |
| With a busted up shoulder and all, Eric Lawrenuk. Eric is one rider that is always pumped to simply be riding with his friends. |
 |
| Yannick Granieri had a solid weekend finishing just off the podium in fourth. |
 |
| Anthony Messere had a bit of a rough finals, unable to compete a single run. That didn't seem to detour his attitude to much though. He was all smiles! |
 |
| There is something about Ben Glassen that makes you say, "I want to be that guys friend." And with stylish 360 nacks he has skills to pay the bills. |
| This was my best contest yet. It was so awesome to be riding in the super finals with all these guys. - Ben Glassen |
 |
| With a bit of wind in the finals, Greg Watts had a tough time throwing down his double tricks. Watts finished up the weekend in 8th place. |

 |
| Yannick Granieri proved he had flip whips on lock, doing the trick in several spots on the course throughout the day. |
 |
| Sam Pilgrim's tuck no handers is one of the cleanest and most extended in the business. |
 |
| No stranger to 360 drops, Cam Zink was unable to really open it up in the super finals due to the wind. |
 |
| Martin Soderstrom with a clean double whip mid course. |
| I did the double whip on the final jump yesterday, but decided to do it mid course today hopefully pushing the point value up a bit. - Martin Soderstrom |
 |
| A trick packed super final run by Brandon Semenuk moved him from 7th all the way to 2nd. |
 |
| There is no question, Cam McCaul still has what it takes. |
| I was facing two personal demons today. One was to land a clean front flip at Crankworx after last years brutal crash, and to win a contest again. I over came both of those demons! - Cam McCaul |
 |
| Winning Crankworx CO after last years terrible crash was a great accomplishment for McCaul. It earned him a good champagne soaking from his right. |
 |
| And then from his left. |
 |
