Month Two of Money Shots - also known as March - is over. It's been epic, it's been stunning, but thankfully, free of controversy. Stephen Wilde sorted through all of your shots, choosing four weekly winners between flights to and from the Prairies and other destinations unknown. He said something about being there to shoot farmers. Or farm equipment. Or Prairie landscape. Something like that.

After many late night missives, some serious soul searching, and accidents involving Planter's peanuts, he was able to pick the March Money Shots winner.

But before we get to that, let's recap this month's weekly winners, from Weeks Five to Eight. Here they are, in order...

First place for week eight. Rider ~ Connor Macleod.  Photo ~ Derek Dix  Click image to enlarge.

So which did Stephen like best? It was a difficult decision, but in the end he made a choice.

Wilde speaks:

i could almost have a tie.
the two shots i like are completely
different. week 6's shot should be first.
it has the largest fear factor.

but i like week 7's winner for fine
execution of photography.
and of course the content like i
said is completely different, so since
i'm really old and like things that
make my heart rate fluctuate...

i think the mega prize should go to
week 6.

and a very close second is week 7.

Stephen wasn't sure if he had to "write anything about the shooter's shot that will surely launch him/her into super-star-dum in the ragingly poplular two wheeling sport of mountain bicycles," but I think the shot speaks for itself - as all good mountain bike pictures should.

Congrats, Christian Kaegi! As the monthly winner for the March edition of Money Shots, you've picked up a shiny new Race Face Diabolus crankset and the gold X-Type bottom bracket. Give me a shout and we'll get this stuff out to you.

Christian's photo is the second of four that will be in the running for the grand prize, pictured below, along with $1,000 in greenbacks and a Whistler season's pass.

If you haven't submitted your photos yet, be sure to do it soon!


The Grand Prize for the Money Shooter - a custom spec Rocky Mountain Slayer 90.  Not exactly as pictured but pretty close.  The bike will be decked with Fox suspension, Syncros Components, Magura Louise brakes, Race Face cranks and a SRAM XO drivetrain. Nothing short of pimptastic.
