AT's Showdown in San Francisco wrapped up this week with an all American final as Greg "Double or Nothing" Watts did just that by winning again for the 2nd year in a row by beating Ryan Howard. Andreu Lacondeguy of Spain took 3rd over Linus Sjoholm of Sweden who took the 4th place. Not to be forgotten was Martin Soderstrom in 5th over James Visser in 6th. Andrew Taylor put on a solid competition with huge throw downs by all the riders in a head to head final for the first time in this format style.
