This year we will bring you a 360-degree view of action. The Cross Palace returns. We’ve added a BMX Urban Competition called the Intersection and Pump Track that will model the potential McLaren Bike Park. Then the Showdown will tie all the action together.
AT's Showdown is a rider vs. rider competition. It will be open for invited riders only. Riders will go though a two run qualifying followed immediately by the finals. 38 riders will take their best run of two from qualifying to earn a spot in the final 12. The top 12 will battle in an hour-long jam. We will have additional features from last year’s Showdown such as sea container, a ramp with an option to hip right, left or go straight into a quarter pipe with dirt landings.
The roster is a who’s who in big air competitions. Led and hosted by Adidas and Marin Bikes rider Andrew Taylor, Greg Watts, Jamie Goldman, Tyler McCaul, Ryan Howard, Jacob Hyde, Jack Fogalquist, Mitch Chubey, Geoff Gulevich, Erick Lawrenuk, Cam Zink, Logan Peat, Kurt Sorge, Phil Sundbaum and more ….
