flag pedalpusher06 (Mar 9, 2010 at 14:22)
 to Hartaildh08,
its not fake, it is quite real actually, the reason the projected image does not appear to disappear in the cracks is because I took the photo of it right next to the projector, if i were to walk 20 feet to the right or left, then you would see how it is only projected on what is straight infront of it. hope that helps to explain it!

Keep those favorites rolling in guys, thank you!!!

 oh for sure, all kinds of people coming out of the local coffee shop, asking their friends "do you see something on the factory up there?!" lots of confused people. they were even more confused when i tried to explain what it was to them, but they seemed interested! keep on getting those favorites!

 i hate people who do it, but a bunch of people are doin it (especially mr projector dude)and it seems to be the only way to stay on top. Your pic is awesome and is definitely in my top 3 favorites for the competition, I just cannot comprehend how it got so many votes. Im not tryin to hate on you, sorry man. If i was gonna hate on anyone it would be the ones of half naked chicks. They get a sh!tload of votes and the shots have nothing to do with the competition.

 I must admit I've missed the RANDOM part too at first. Here I'm thinking damn, I went through all this work in carving the logo http://www.pinkbike.com/photo/4672420/ and hauling it to to the trails and then a paper cut-out wins.... my mistake....
anyways, please vote for my pic and I'll build more trails for you guys ;-)
flag obee1  (Mar 10, 2010 at 9:52)
 yeah. i get it now too. i thought the random part suggested that it didn't necessarily follow a theme or direction of photographic content. this certainly defines random in that its just a shit pic that they happened to stop on, in the roulette wheel of decision making. either way cariboo, i hope you win the bike that is being given away in the contest, since you are; always giving back to the sport with your trailbuilding, and carved a fantstic design in one of your stunts.

 looks like you used a router which is just as easy as cutting paper with scissors. and it pisses me off when yall link your own stuff on here. you and pedalpusher06.
flag caribooyj  (Mar 11, 2010 at 17:20)
 Your entries, are creative and artistic. But you seriously think milling a log with a chainsaw, transferring the logo onto the log, routering out the logo with two three different router bits, hauling the log to a trail and building a skinny line, is as easy as cutting paper with a scissor?
And yes, I've added a link on here as this thread is about the contest... no big deal, you don't have to click it.
Anyway, we'll know soon who's the winner.

 The reason why we went with random draws for the weekly prizes was to give everyone who enters a chance to win. Stoked to see the all creativity and ideas. Only one week left - keep them coming.
flag caribooyj  (Mar 9, 2010 at 22:45)
 "Only one week left" ... Isn't it closing this Friday at midnight?
Hope you guys will bring the premier tour to Williams Lake. Bring it to James' hometown... we local riders will be stoked.
Thanks for the contest, fun entering and watching all the creative energy flowing.

It is down to the 'Anthill' contest organizers. Bet they are more interested in their movie promotion than looking through all the entries, hence the callous computer doing the job for them.
