Bike magazine's website, bikemag.com sent a tiny team of two to North America's biggest summer mountain bike festival—Kokanee Crankworx in Whistler, British Columbia—where it punched way above its weight with comprehensive event coverage and Bike magazine-quality images. In addition to timely competition updates and photo galleries, bikemag.com also offered visitors exclusive glimpses of some of the newest gear from festival exhibitors. Here's a look at some of the highlights. |  | In a high-flying battle with insane tricks and unfortunate crashes during the first two rounds, the field was whittled down to just eight riders for the super finals. Though there were a few runs with some big moves, nobody could pull together a clean enough run to beat Brandon Semenuk's second-run score of 95.4. This allowed Semenuk a victory lap for his super final run, in which he gave a massive mid-air salute off the final step-down.

 | Sterling Lorence lives in Vancouver, British Columbia, and is proud to be one of the few photographers to spend all year shooting bikes, instead of disappearing "when the snowflakes fall." His first photographs made their way past Bike's photo editor in 1997, and since then his work has graced multiple covers—and his photos have become synonymous with outstanding mountain bike photography.

| | Bike's 2011 Photo Annual features our largest-ever photo gallery—46 pages dedicated purely to photography, in an uninterrupted succession of spreads, unfettered by words or advertisements. The images on these pages have been chosen from tens of thousands of photos submitted by the world's most talented and inspired mountain-bike photographers. We feel that each one of these images inhabits that special place where art collides with actuality, where the abstract is mated with physical reality. We hope that each photo will offer a unique glimpse into the greatness of our pastime, and we offer this unprecedented collection as a tribute to the countless numbers of mountain bikers devoted to elevating the magical act of putting two self-propelled wheels to dirt.
