 Decent photo is barely the contest. It could be a semi-decent photo, but just as along it conveys the point and is a clean picture following very simple rules of photography it'll fine and usable.

The social media/voting part is the real contest. Not trying to brag (honestly), I have access to over 3k+ people (not the most but..) via social media...so I think I'll try this contest Wink

And love the Pro series stuff, they are super solid. I have my atherton series signed by them Big Grin

 The only issue with this is in my town there is only one Trail, but it is impossible to fix(has not been touched in 10 years) and is an hour to get up there, Not the Greatest roads up either, need a 4x4, I will have to think of something else. I need more mountain bikers to move here, need more help!

 Just an idea man, build only a small section of trail, take 2 pictures (pics within the overall picture) or of you working and show how much you are willing to do just to make a bit of trail Big Grin

 Not sure why folks complain about having a Facebook account. Just like PinkBike, it connects you with people. And just like PinkBike, some of these people, you're not gonna like. At least with Facebook you can delete people you don't like so you don't ever have to see their comments ever again. With PinkBike, you're stuck reading my comments whether you like me or not.

 This contest is completely unfair... if you look are the rules, 10 people with the most votes go to a 'finals' round and the judges decide which picture out of the ten is best and that person gets the prize. So even if all 10 pictures have nothing to do with biking, one of them gets the bike. Oh ya.. you also need to pay for shipping and they dont give you anything if the bike is broken -.-
