The flecks of hero dirt have settled and the third and final race at Sun Peaks has wrapped. As the travelling road show that is Crankworx B.C. prepares to hit the road, Vaea Verbeeck and Jackson Frew are celebrating the final wins of the week after three days of racing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Verbeeck, it\u2019s been a mega few days, with three gold medals in the past two days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s crazy. I don\u2019t know, I didn\u2019t come here expecting and thinking about all of this. But when I think of each event here, they\u2019re just so wicked and so fun to send it, and I\u2019m just really happy that it worked out.<\/p>

It\u2019s super fun. The biggest thing is I was really hoping I was going to be strong enough physically to hold on for how fast I want to go on that track. Because that track can take it. It\u2019s just whether you can take it or not after a couple days like this. It\u2019s just full-on high speed and it hooks well. So as long as you can hold on at the bottom of a steep pitch, the track can take it. It\u2019s just really fast and really fun.<\/p>– Vaea Verbeeck<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Sharing the top of the box with her, Aussie racer turned local, Frew, who\u2019s currently living in nearby Kamloops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I didn\u2019t really know what to expect coming into today. I\u2019ve been feeling really good on my bike and the track\u2019s running really good, so just tried to lay down a heater and see where it put me. I\u2019m over the moon.<\/p>– Jackson Frew<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Like Verbeeck, today is also a continuation of a solid day yesterday for the men\u2019 champ. Frew came second in the Crankworx Air DH Sun Peaks. And while the stoke levels were high today, racers have eight more days of competition ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m pretty blown out already. I think it\u2019s really cool to start the series off with a bit of momentum and hopefully carry that through, get recovered and head into the week with some good confidence.<\/p>– Jackson Frew<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
