Andrew has been the called the father of freeride. He raced downhill when a lot of today's freeriders where in nappies. And he has won a gold medal in the X.-Games. Still he is pushing the envelope for what is possible to do on a mountain bike. His segments in The Collective and ROAM brings classic mountain biking and New School riding together.
Andrew also kicked quite a few young kids' ass in Utah when he put down his stuff in the legendary Red Bull Rampage.
These days Andrew preaches the word of mountain biking by developing wicked bikes for Trek Bicycles as well as teaching kids new tricks in his hugely successful Gravity Camps in Whistler. Here young kids get to ride with their idols and heroes at the same time as they get the best insides on the coolest Whistler trails. Check out www.summergravitycamps.com
Andrew is one of a few mountain bikers that are recognized all over the world. His trick tips draw readers in to magazines not just in Germany the UK, and Canada but in the rest of the biking world as well.
