Both NSMB and PinkBike ran the same article that chronicled action at the Qashqai Urban Challenge but they included different pictures.
Decline was on top of the action as well with some nice video’s of the action. A large collection of video’s have been posted to YouTube as well which can be seen here.
Phil Sundbaum won best trick. Check the sick 720 in the vid below.

Derailled online and Whistler Mountain Bike reported that Aaron Chase had to goto the hospital and his L2 L1 vertebrae was damaged in a crash. He’ll be out for awhile but he thankfully doesn’t need surgery. Update on Decline, he went under the knife but is doing fine.
If photos are more your style check out Andrew Proctor’s flickr set from the event. He has a lot of good pics of all the top riders in action.
