Sunday, May 27: crankbrothers athletes Bryn Atkinson (GT) and Sabrina Jonnier (Monster/Ironhorse) are champions of the 2007 US Open of Mountain Biking. Each walked away with the prestigious title and $5,000 in cash. See pics of the race held at Diablo Freeride Park at Mountain Creek Resort in Vernon, NJ.  

what can we say other than crankbrothers/santa cruz syndicate rider steve peat rules the downhill in lisbon. peaty won the unique dh event for the 6th year in a row, obliterating the nearest competitor by 2.624 seconds!  

the final runs of the top twelve riders at the madrid stop of the qashqai urban challenge were absolutely off the charts. riders were tricking lines that had previously not been attempted, and at the end of the day, crankbrothers rider/kona klump team member paul basagoitia came out on top.  

we're happy to announce that shoe shields are now available. use them to reduce shoe tread interference and to protect carbon soled shoes.  

crankbrothers athletes are off to a great start this season. canadian geoff kabush took 1st at the national mountain bike series #1 in both the xc and short course events. other crankbrothers riders like todd wells took second in both, and "jhk" finished in the top 5 of each event and won the time trial. for women, mary mcconneloug took 2nd with heather irminger in 8th and alison sydor in 10th in the xc event. in womens short track, alison took 2nd, and heather finished 5th. next stop on the nmbs tour is fontana, california.
