Big Mountain Contest Winner
Who Goes to Costa Rica?
Date: 2009-01-19
On a grey and cool mid-January day in Vancouver Wade pored over a fat pile entries of the first Dear Wade contest and chose his top 10. As he promised he reached into his helmet and pulled out the winner…and you'll have to watch the video to find out who that is.
“A big thanks to all who entered,” said Wade with his signature big smile and unshaven mug, “I hope that *blank* is pumped to ride big bikes in Costa Rica because I am!” The rider walks away with 9 days of riding with Wade on Big Mountain Bike Adventures’ Pura Vida DH trip, a Dakine Apex pack, a Bell full-face helmet, Oakley shades, the use of a 2009 Rocky Mountain Flatline DH rig and a full set-up from Sombrio clothing. Congratulations to the winner! All 9 runner-up entries get a Sombrio jersey and Big Mountain t-shirt.
Thanks to all who entered and we’ll see you next year!
