“Racing, tricks and hanging it all out!” – that’s how Cam Zink summed up yesterday’s SRAM Dual Speed & Style at Crankworx Les 2 Alpes. This fusion of dual slalom and slopestyle made for exciting viewing – especially when the US freeride star was pitted against Belgian downhill racer Nico Vink in the final.
Which of the two styles would prevail? Nico was faster but Cam threw in a backflip and flip nac-nac to the Belgian’s single 360, and walked away with the €2,000 prize. Full results here. Check out the highlights video and image gallery below.
