context_page_description: Aaron Holmes Gwin is an American professional downhill mountain biker from Morongo Valley, California. He is a five-time World Cup overall champion.
context_section_description: Much of Gwin's style and skill come from his motocross, and his whips and jumping technique show it.  He also gained a lot of flow from racing BMX for so many years, bringing him success in Dual Slalom and Mountain Cross.
  Aaron left the Yeti team to join the Trek World Racing Team in November 2010 after relocating to Temecula, CA. During his time at Trek World Racing, he won two World Cup Overall titles, in 2011 and 2012. On January 7, 2013, it was announced that Aaron would be riding for Specialized Racing, replacing Sam Hill on the team. His team mate at Specialized was Troy Brosnan.
   After a successful season with Specialized, Gwin announced that he would be leaving the big brand to ride for up and coming brand YT Industries for the 2016 season. Aaron Gwin has signed on with Intense Factory Racing Team starting in 2019, for whom he currently rides.
