This weekend marked the second anniversary of the womens specific slopestyle event; the Sugar Showdown. The event, held at Duthie Hill Mountain Bike Park, just east of Seattle, Washington, drew the best of the best of women's mountain-biking out for a weekend of coaching, competition, and good times.

 Only thing better than scoring a few free hours on a sunny afternoon to hit Duthie, was riding to the start of Semper Dirticus and seeing the colorful and ripping "lady train" in action.
