It has evolved into the Crankworx World Tour with festivals in Whistler British Columbia, Cairns, Innsbruck Austria and Rotorua New Zealand.

Across five different courses and four days of competition, Gravity Media will access 90 different camera positions, satellite broadcast technology, and 23 cameras including speciality cameras and drones to capture what is described as the ultimate experience in mountain biking .

Gravity Media's collaboration with Red Bull TV will see Crankworx Cairns broadcast across the world.

Matt Hilton, CEO GTR Events Local Organising Committee, Crankworx Cairns:

The relationship that GTR Events and Gravity Media Australia have created and nurtured over the last decade is one built on trust and mutual respect, not only a client/supplier relationship, which has grown into a partnership with creative and technical working hand in glove.

The scope of works for Cairns Crankworx is a known environment, which we have previously had great success as a united workforce, and our previous projects together have always delivered on time and on budget.

Gravity Media Australia's understanding of our events provide us with a trust that our events are a world class presentation.

Marcus Doherty, Account Executive, Media Services and Facilities at Gravity Media:

We are looking forward to working with GTR Events and our production partners in delivering a world class broadcast of Crankworx Cairns.

It is a brilliant event staged in a spectacular landscape. It is also presents a challenging broadcast production environment as we once again deploy Gravity Media Australia's unique fibre network and speciality cameras solutions to build on last year's successful coverage of Crankworx Cairns and deliver this year's event to audiences around the world.

We are pleased to partner with GTR Events on Crankworx. Our relationship with them on Crankworx Cairns now in its second year - builds on our long relationship on major events including the Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race in Geelong and the UCI MTB World Championships in Cairns.
