AP Money Shot: Media Blitz #1

A week has passed since we crowned Mark Matthews NSMB’s newest AIRprentice, and that means our Money Shot contestants have finished up their respective video edits and slideshows. Over the next three days, we’ll be rolling out one photographer and one videographer per day. 

To keep up the post-contest buzz, we’ve decided to give the Money Shot shooters one more chance to win: whoever does the best job of pumping their video through Facebook and other social media by Monday, July 22nd will win a 2012 RockShox Lyrik!

A winner will be chosen for the Money Shot grand prize – media passes for Crankworx Whistler and Red Bull Rampage – at the same time. In the meantime, enjoy the visual delights provided by our Money Shot photographers and videographers.

Our first pair of shooters are Brock Anderson on the video side and Mike Kirk for photo – they got together with Mark Matthews, Connor MacDougall, and Ace Hayden for the sunrise photoshoot on Day 1 of AIRprentice.

  “Alarms went off at 4:45 as we weren’t the only group trying to pluck the goods from the morning light. Once we got down to the bike room we saw nearly the entire cast stumbling around and gathering tools for their morning nugget extractions.” – Brock Anderson on the first shoot for AIRprentice Money Shot 2012.
