I grew up close to the Italian Alps but I also lived in Berlin where the highest hill is 110m and it's man made. I can feel their pain.

but the video itself is just winnig!
I would like to ask a question, politely, and would appreciate a polite response since I believe it warrants an answer.
Here you are a joint partner in a contest asking people to take time, and make efforts to create media content. People will spend their time in planning their work, time carrying it out, maybe many times, before submitting it for consideration.
The same could be said of the "Photo of the Year" contest; people will spend time and effort creating shots for consideration. The deadline for submissions was mid October last year. That is three months ago.
Could I ask what has happened to all those photos submitted for consideration, because since mid there has been no movement apparently. I asked SRAM, one of the joint sponsors of the event, and their response was:
"Hi Dave, Thanks for your message. This competition was originally hosted by Pinkbike- please check in with Pinkbike for final results. Regards, SRAM USA"
Yours in anticipation..
can't decide
To be clear- they want one, continuous, raw footage shot? Can anyone confirm this?
