Crankworx, the big mountain bike festival with its origins in Whistler, will also be coming to Innsbruck-Tyrol for the first time from June 21 to 25. This means "pure action" with some of the best mountain bikers in the world in slopestyle, downhill, pump track, dual speed & style and whip-off at Bikepark Innsbruck. Children and young people are invited to take part in "Kidsworx Innsbruck" - a colorful workshop program all about mountain biking - from 22 to 25 June. "We have developed the program in cooperation with the Tyrolean State School Board and the MTB Downhill & Freeride Association Innsbruck. The aim is to bring children and young people together and motivate them to exercise - especially on a mountain bike or bicycle - in the fresh air," explains Georg Spazier, head of the organizing committee of innsbruck-tirol sports GmbH.

Kidsworx Innsbruck Pumptrack Challenge - June 24, 2017
On Crankworx Saturday, the Kidsworx Innsbruck Pumptrack Challenge is another highlight on the program. Anyone between the ages of eight and 16 who wants to get a taste of racing or is ready to show what they can do on the pump track is invited to take part. The Crankworx pump track is exclusively available to children and young people for this spectacle. Those who qualify for the final will then ride head to head against a fellow competitor and, with a little luck and skill, may even be crowned the fastest pump kid at the end.
