bigquotesSince we started this event 3 years ago I never imagined that it would turn into a contest with some of the top riders from around the world showing up. Every year we try and change up the format to keep it fresh and I'm sure this year will be something you wont want to miss, so be sure to stay tuned into pinkbike for up to date coverage of the event! - Andrew Taylor
