Alex McGuinnis aka KrunkShox is stepping out and racing the EWS all season. After crushing it at the Oregon Enduro Series races the last few years, he's ready for international competition. Check out his Transition Smuggler 29er. He's running SRAM GUIDE levers mounted to Code calipers and has the new 170mm Reverb for his lengthy body. U-S-A.

As another 6'3" rider would it be possible to get a KrunkShox Bike Check like we used to see from Graves?

I found these super interesting, in fact any of the EWS or DH World Cup guys/gals willing to share would be awesome!

i think this was a quick and dirty as they were riding the ferry to the race site, but i'll reach out to see if we can get some details.

Easy...

Krunk and Strobel started pretty close together. I know Krunk came across a guy who had a compound fracture so he stopped racing to help him. Assuming Strobel got involved as well.

They gave them an average time in the end. Both guys came back strong considering the mental state they could have been in after seeing such a horrendous injury. I hope the guy ended up ok.

Overall looks like Krunkshock had real good initial effort into EWS. Finding a little more consistency in the stages should move him up and lot.
