Wade Simmons; Andrew Shandro Scour the Globe

Shimano has teamed up with Anthill Films to produce a series of videos that uniquely showcase its 2009 mountain disc brake technologies through the eyes of some of the best in the sport.

This is the second video that dropped today featuring Shimano team riders Andrew Shandro and Wade Simmons doing some all-mountain shredding in the Arizona desert.
