Crankworx Colorado seeks Volunteers
One of the best ways to be a part of the freeride mountain bike action taking place during Crankworx Colorado at the end of this month is to volunteer. Up close and personal to the action, Crankworx Colorado volunteers will receive this year’s event t-shirt and a winter 2008/09 lift ticket for every six hours worked or an event t-shirt for partial shift work.“Volunteers are essential to ensuring that all of the pieces of Crankworx Colorado come together,” said Bob Holme, Youth Marketing and Trestle Bike Park Manager. “It’s also a great way to get in close to the action and earn free lift tickets.”

I volunteered there last year and it was well worth my time. On top of the T-Shirts and lift passes they fed us a meal every day, gave me tips on how to stay in WP for free (good stuff), and had a raffle the last day for the volunteers. They gave you 2 raffle tickets for each day you worked. I walked away with a Thomson stem and seat post, a dozen hats, 5 pairs of socks, and 12 t-shirts. There were rims, a frame, lots of brakes, camelbacks, lots of Thomson stuff, and tons of apparel swag. Everyone that volunteered walked away with their arms full of great stuff. I would do it again if I could.
