2012 Crankworx Whistler

Phantom magic from Claymore Challenge 2012

Slow-motion FMB genius from the Claymore Challenge 2012 which was won by Canada’s Brandon Semenuk. Brandon Semenuk clinched his fourth successive win at the Claymore Challenge, 2012 in New Hampshire USA. Semenuk's score of 92.67 in his first run was not beaten by any who followed him and included a double dump 720 off a smaller ramp on the course and flip-whip on the Red Bull Freebird. Those in the crowd and watching live on redbull.com/bike saw some tricks never attempted at competition level before by Brett Rheeder and Martin Söderström who came second and third respectively.
