AT's Showdown: Video and Photo Contest
For this year's Showdown I decided to change things up from a live event to an all online video and photo contest with twenty teams. To give you an idea of what to expect from all the teams I set out with my buddies Long Nguyen and Mark Zealand to put together this demo video. It was good times and we definitely got a little weird, so hopefully you'll enjoy it!
HOW IT WORKS
Video Contest - Shot 100% With iPhone & Hitcase
Each team will have six weeks starting September 15th to film a two minute video that will go head to head on Pinkbike to battle it out for a $9,000 prize purse. Be sure to check back from November 11th - 18th to watch and vote on your favourite videos. They will be uploaded to the AT's Showdown Contest video section.
Instagram Photo Contest - Bangers 4 Benjamins
We’re throwing down $3,000 over the next three weeks. $200 every weekday starting October 21st and ending November 8th for the invited riders with the best Instagram uploads. The winners will be announced daily at 9:00 AM PST via the Showdown Instagram and Facebook.

Have the same training.
have the same genetics.
same sponsers, same money.
so why, WHY? if we like the inequalities of the sport, do we restrict uplifts at races, and quality of technology with filming?!
It's a competition, it's controlled to keep things fair and make judging easier too probably. Your argument is like saying we should allow drugs in sport because restricting things is dumb!? Then talent and training is irrelevant because people can just use enhancers and the skys the limit!
Tell 100 people to take a photo with the same camera, and it will become very obviously very quickly who has the most talent, vision and ability to capture something unique... Without one person having infinitely better equipment..
People often whine on here that the competitions where photo's are presented to win, are unfair because amateurs stand no chance against the pro's with all their thousands of pounds cameras and lenses. If the competitions said the photo's had to be submitted on a GoPro or something, that would make it much fairer and easier for amateurs.
