Andrew Taylor just hosted
AT's Showdown, held at the Cow Palace in San Fransisco a few weekends ago.
Big thanks goes out to Andrew for putting on the event. It was a huge success and showed where Mountain Bike freestyle contests are headed in 2010! The Showdown had many premier riders and some of the biggest jumps ever built for bicycles. I met up with AT for a few minutes to grab some shots of his bike and talk about his plans for 2010.

Gravity Components and an
X-Fusion Vengeance fork. The pictures below were taken after Andrew was doing some practice runs on the muddy course.
