Yeah but $25000 Canadian dollars is = to $150.00 U.S. I may be wrong on the current exchange rate.

What are you saying? This is straight from Google: 1 Canadian dollar = 1.04679 U.S. dollars

You might want to check again...the Canadian Dollar is worth more than the US dollar. Congrats CAM sick super flip!

Sorry on that, but the CAD is really close to the US dollar....
It is more like: 25.000 CAD = 26.191,7 USD

Salute

Man I think H-Sauce was making a funny, guess none of you dudes can laugh it off after 10 posts saying pretty much the same thing.

nathanlawrence (Jul 31, 2011 at 10:44)

H sauce is right, American economy is going straight where my poop goes. Soon enough H-sauce your comment will be right. You've jumped the gun though. Hahahaha

bwoodhull (Jul 31, 2011 at 10:59)

wait a few more days and the US dollar ain't gonna be worth shit.....sad but true. That's what you get when the Federal Reserve prints out 16 trillion dollars and just gives it away. More of a reason for me to peace out to whistler.

Coreey (Jul 31, 2011 at 11:31)

Who cares about the money? I was screaming out loud, when he landed the no hander frontie! Its about the excitement.

I clicked on H-Sauce's profile expecting a 12 year old kid from that kind of comment. How are you that ignorant? You are an embarassment.

I was just joking. Don't take it so seriously. Go for a ride and get over it.

chochocho (Jul 31, 2011 at 12:19)

you guys are too serious. it was obviously a joke.

trailjunkie12897 (Jul 31, 2011 at 13:55)

Most of you have no idea what you are talking about. $1.00 USD = $0.953873 CAD. That is today. US is worth less than canada now

wolfe38 (Jul 31, 2011 at 14:02)

STFU ABOUT THE EXCHANGE RATE! its over. its done. its in the past. move on.

How about we give some mad props to Cam! so...MAD PROPS CAM!

cyrix (Jul 31, 2011 at 14:26)

Bravo guys!! An argument about currency exchange rates in an article about Cam McCauls 1st place run. Classy classy classy.

manchicken (Jul 31, 2011 at 15:10)

To think, it all came from someone bitching about the prize money. I couldn't resist a comment but the rest of them are immature for argueing such a petty thing instead of as you said, being stoked for Cam

hardyk (Jul 31, 2011 at 15:29) (Below Threshold) show comment

i love how there was like 1000 people at whistler and like 50 in colorado

kirbs (Jul 31, 2011 at 17:49)

luttermann93 (Jul 31, 2011 at 19:53)

its funny that the prize money for a huge comp like crankworx colorado is worth about one downhill bike

louiscritchie (Jul 31, 2011 at 21:31)

emotions are running high in this comment. You guys take shit waay too seriously

dhabartrider11 (Jul 31, 2011 at 21:32)

One thing you're all forgetting is everything is more expensive in canada. A friend just bought a bike in the states for over a thousand less than what he would of payed here.

gombo8 (Jul 31, 2011 at 21:42)

am i only the one that gave H-Sauce pos? am i the only one who thinks canadian money is funny money? it may be worth more but its called the loonie...comon

hoolydooly (Aug 1, 2011 at 0:50)

Why is the contour video player so f*cking shit. jesus christ it pisses me off when companies make their own stupid player rather than using one that has been proven to work, like the player that pinkbike and youtube use.

gavlaa (Aug 1, 2011 at 6:38)

I think it's hilarious that riders are arguing over exchange rates- Can any of you guys tell me if the DOW index is down today?- the corner shop was sold out of the Financial Times...

louiscritchie (Aug 1, 2011 at 8:51)

@gombo8
I know where you're coming from, our money is all different colours with sparkly little strips running down the left side. There's ghost-ish pictures of the queen, there's some poems, some pictures of kids playing hockey or totem poles... When I look at your 5 dollar bill, however, there's just some guy who looks like a boss and some official-looking stamps.

But whatever. We're all the same shit, just in different places.

crazymac1 Plus (Aug 1, 2011 at 23:32)

ehhh who gives if the US dollar is worth more canada has better trails so WE WIN Smile

dirtbagmatty (Aug 2, 2011 at 6:57)

not to mention they have around 300 people watching, whistler had well over 7,000

gavlaa (Aug 2, 2011 at 7:03)

Dirtbagmatty- I was pretty surprised at size of crowds at both events- Whistler looked like the superbowl whilst Colorado looked like my local trails on a sunday!

Don't you think TREK should release a slopestyle bike to celebrate all this success?

YES I DO THINK THAT.

Not much a roll in before that first flip! Stoked that Cam is back getting victories as he's been an inspriation to many DJers for many years now. Mad to think how much he's come on since Drop In TV. Good on ya Cam- glad someone broke the Semenuk monotony.

manchicken (Jul 31, 2011 at 9:55)

His run was soooo smooth. I wanted tosee soderstrom do well because hes got epic style, also I think Pilgrims run was better than Semenuks

motoracer432 (Jul 31, 2011 at 10:53)

stick gopros on them, contours suck

longhitter2000 (Aug 1, 2011 at 2:00)

You ever realized, that Contour is the sponsor of Cam McCaul and Cam Zink - so why do you think they should stick GoPros on them??? - would be stupid of them risking a good sponsor. On the other hand - I like the contours over the GoPros for mountain bike (for surf and diving GoPros might be better)
But if you wanna look like a Tele Tubby while Riding - go for it. I like to laugh about the Tele Tubbys on Bikes whenever I see them in the Bike Parks.

motoracer432 (Aug 1, 2011 at 9:14)

gopros are way better for anything, contours dont show a good angle,gopros an all around better company for mountain biking, and there prety much industructable. Tele tubby???how does a gopro make anyone look like a teletubby? a contour sounds like crap to, the wind sound sucks!

wolfe38 (Aug 1, 2011 at 20:13)

i feel like a teletubby when i wear mine.. haha
