zac2516 (Sep 12, 2011 at 23:06)

Mike Serafin from Illinois Simple design yet still looks sick, would definitely run them. Some of the others look too crowded and overdone. 2nd choice would be Nick Moore from Utah.

16 2

dirtjumpin (Sep 12, 2011 at 23:16)

I'm with you two, Mike Serafin from Illinois. Looks sick, simple yet intricate. Nick Moore from Utah would also be my second choice, you guys have got great taste!

airbornmtnbiker (Sep 12, 2011 at 23:19)

I agree, not a fan of the overly colorful ones, they're too cartoony for me, mike's is one of the few here i'd actually want on my bike

Mike Serafian for suuuure

frdh (Sep 12, 2011 at 23:28)

Mike Serafins got my vote Daniel (1st one) second choice

kikou FL (Sep 12, 2011 at 23:30)

+1.

dvbwn (Sep 12, 2011 at 23:32)

Agreed Mike Serafin hands down

skeletonboy (Sep 12, 2011 at 23:35)

Mike Serafin from Illinois, by far the best in my opinion

anastaputra (Sep 12, 2011 at 23:37)

Mike Serafin ......classic simple

5chmaus FL (Sep 12, 2011 at 23:39)

I also agree. The design is simple and won't conflict with the rest of any bike.

Oh and by the way I've been in Illinois for 2 weeks, Mike, is there anywhere to bike here? It's all pretty flat and the highest point is about 1200 ft..

betsie (Sep 12, 2011 at 23:42)

At first run through the designs I was 100% in agreement with Mike Serafins getting my vote, a few runs through the designs and it starts to look plain, understated and there is something missing.
Plus, when you mount a brake on a white fork, the hose will detract from the red.
It is probably still my fav.

JayTom20 (Sep 12, 2011 at 23:49)

im with you guys, Mike Serafin FTW... i also like Yanchi from bulgaria but the colour lets it down

ButtonPusher (Sep 12, 2011 at 23:56)

Yeah Mike Serafin #1..!
Love the simplicity and could see the tree on it looking great in different colours to match different oem builds...
I really liked the forestry sticker pack as well, most of those would just make great promo stickers for RS...
Also really like the artwork in the Creepers by Nick Moore, but quite frankly the colours on it are actually hurting my eyes...

danielharmon (Sep 12, 2011 at 23:59)

mikeeeeeee serafinnnnnnnnnnnn for the winnnnnnnnn

Hertz32 (Sep 13, 2011 at 0:16)

Worm-Burner (Sep 13, 2011 at 0:21)

puttin' Mike Serafin down too...they are all brilliant though...and MRPIMA should flog his design to YETI...if he doesn't win this///

ktmpaul111 (Sep 13, 2011 at 0:24)

I can't choose between Mike Serafin and Nick Moore, you should run both because then you have Graphics to make everyone happy. Sick and Simple as well as Crazy and Colorful.

JRoe (Sep 13, 2011 at 0:30)

I actualy quite like the guy from portugal's design!! But I'll agree mike's is pretty sick!

TheTrailSailor (Sep 13, 2011 at 0:31)

Yes, Mike Serafin's design is great. Should then be offered in two stickers sets with two different, one with red and one more subtle. Second place is Pedro Brajal. Some of the others are too hectic and in-your-face. Still great efforts tho!!

doorknob100 (Sep 13, 2011 at 0:47)

Mike Serafin's but Cole Jergens is my second favorite.

callumm (Sep 13, 2011 at 2:40)

Yanchi and Mike fo sure!

LukeT66 (Sep 13, 2011 at 2:48)

funny how sram said you have to incorporate stuff from the sticker packs you download and yet a few of these designs havent.

dirtydroog (Sep 13, 2011 at 3:12)

Definitely, very clean. The others seem a bit juvenile.

Icculus19425 (Sep 13, 2011 at 4:07)

Mike Serafin from Illinois

Konda FL (Sep 13, 2011 at 4:27)

Daniel Severson from California needs to learn the difference between "your" and "you're"

trekrider4mgm (Sep 13, 2011 at 4:50)

Definitely Mike Serafin. Nice to see a change from all the craziness to simplicity.

thestigmk1 (Sep 13, 2011 at 5:18)

Mike Serafin from illinois

DSlayer91 (Sep 13, 2011 at 5:51)

1st . Mike Serafin from Illinois and 2nd . Daniel Severson from California

BADINOV (Sep 13, 2011 at 5:56)

1. Mike Serafin from Illinois
2. yanchi from Bulgaria
3. mrpima from California ( just a little to crowded for my taste but love the art work!)

bccone2five (Sep 13, 2011 at 6:45)

One more vote for Mike!!!!!!!!!!

derpdownthehill (Sep 13, 2011 at 6:46)

I like Mike Serafin and Daniel Severson.

jamesxciv (Sep 13, 2011 at 7:16)

Daniel seversons is best

Protour (Sep 13, 2011 at 7:24)

I like the one that will make my bike look like it's a little kids bike. Seriously, they all look hideous, I would rather run a blank fork with nothing rather than put all that visual garbage on display on my bike. When I see mountain bikers excited about this stuff it makes me wonder if the sport has lost it's grounding. Are you going to wear a matching kit, goofballs? If your fork comes with these stickers do everyone a favor and toss them in the trash bucket, or put them where they belong; on a kids bike from Wal-mart. Stickers are for children, but robot stickers are for a special breed of child.

jordxgreen (Sep 13, 2011 at 8:02)

Mike Serafin from Illinois without a doubt; less is more! The others look like they've been made by scene kids taking LSD.

r-gibson (Sep 13, 2011 at 8:12)

Mike Serafin from Illinois FTW!!!

willy94 (Sep 13, 2011 at 8:22)

Mikes is by far the nicest

pperini (Sep 13, 2011 at 8:24)

ike serafin and the first one are the coolest for sure

dirtmonkey1 (Sep 13, 2011 at 8:39)

Mike Serafin or yanchi yanchi's is a bit sparse so I'd say go with Mike's

unicornmtb25 FL (Sep 13, 2011 at 8:51)

I think they should take the left leg of Mike Serafin's and combine it with the right leg of Yanchi's From Bulgaria. (Play around with different colors from the Bulgaria one though so it matches)

shrockie (Sep 13, 2011 at 8:53)

yep. super clean. non cluttered.. I like the way it plays off the barcode, but with a natural element. nicely executed. +1 for Mike. also will work with the color pallet of any bike.. well played.

wildkona (Sep 13, 2011 at 8:54)

I agree, Mike Serafin!

DARKSTAR63 (Sep 13, 2011 at 9:01)

Well, If I ever need a freeride fork for a 5 year old I know where to get one. .............(semi-kidding) Some of these designs are great but Im not hanging a single one of them off the front of my bike, sorry.

slandrews (Sep 13, 2011 at 9:16)

so much for the top 10 being publicly chosen

beast-from-the-east (Sep 13, 2011 at 9:26)

Mike Serafin from Illinois.
Nice and understated.
It would combine nicely (theme and style) with some of the designs of Daniel Severson from California
As a grown person, I don't think I could stomach riding the more outlandish designs.

snl1200 FL (Sep 13, 2011 at 9:27)

The idea was for a "sticker pack"... Serafin's seem more like a core decal change. I love the way his fork looks but I'm not sure it best fits what the contest was asking for.

Caiokv FL (Sep 13, 2011 at 9:35)

Some of this guys are heavily on drugs!

lely-pie (Sep 13, 2011 at 9:40)

Mike Serafin's for sure, less is more

mooseman414 (Sep 13, 2011 at 9:54)

Mike Serafin, nick Moore.

go-diego-go (Sep 13, 2011 at 10:44)

Mike Serafin ALL THE WAYY!!!!

warhorsey (Sep 13, 2011 at 11:05)

Miiiiiiiiiiike!!!

bikeaddict123 (Sep 13, 2011 at 15:40)

the problem for me with these sticker packs is each one either has very little variety in terms of the type of stickers in it (like samuel ho's are all really bright, similar shape/size and same theme), or has every sticker as really colourful, meaning you couldn't go for a more subtle look with the pack.

kolbiez (Sep 13, 2011 at 16:16)

i like the cali one

n1ck FL (Sep 13, 2011 at 17:28)

Simple. Stylish.

ButtonPusher (Sep 13, 2011 at 17:34)

Negative propping people who don't vote for your friend is weak..! i'm lookin' at you nunomelo77...

nikster (Sep 13, 2011 at 18:20)

Pedro Brajal from Portugal for sure!

Tejj (Sep 13, 2011 at 19:43)

a couple of them are nice, the others look like children designed them. no thanks.

dj-er-day (Sep 13, 2011 at 20:24)

mrpima. sooo sick with the wood

fruitasingletrackrules (Sep 14, 2011 at 8:01)

Mike's design is by far the best. From another designers perspective, the more simple the design, the better! Well done man.

MrFREERIDEING (Sep 14, 2011 at 8:20)

wait a second..... where is my design

MisterRogers (Sep 14, 2011 at 8:46)

Mike Serafin for his design. Wait a minute.......He's got the same last name as me

jakemonk (Sep 14, 2011 at 9:45)

Mike Serafin from Illinois

LukeT66 (Sep 14, 2011 at 9:48)

I really dont think they could of picked them by faves even so they said thats what they were doing, some of the ones picked here only had a few faves. I know 2 of my designs and few other people's not picked had around 50 faves so why are these not in the top ten?, I know I followed the contest rules.

bikeaddict123 (Sep 14, 2011 at 9:55)

well maybe, just maybe, they prefer these designs to yours

LukeT66 (Sep 14, 2011 at 10:01)

i dont care if they prefer these , iam saying that they said it was general public on pb that where voting for the top 10, they cant just change it without telling anyone

slandrews (Sep 14, 2011 at 14:39)

yeh lol, mine at 50+ too .. cheryl cole had 101!

LukeT66 (Sep 15, 2011 at 2:07)

yeh one of yours definitely should of got in the top ten.

Downtoearth (Sep 15, 2011 at 20:48)

i'm pretty sure you guys don't want a totem to all look like that :s

doorknob100 (Sep 15, 2011 at 22:20)

i'm pretty sure you have no friends

coxydiver (Sep 13, 2011 at 1:06)

hell yer last one looks sticker bomed so sick if that dont win you can all boil your heads JUST SAYING

alankiley (Sep 13, 2011 at 2:51)

Amazing idea, user customisable, thought has gone into this one.... for the win!

olaffons (Sep 13, 2011 at 2:56)

Samuel for sure... Or Nick from Utah,it's high time someone make a crazy colorful fork...

jimbsport FL (Sep 13, 2011 at 5:21)

Mike Serafin from Illinois

maxdaavgo (Sep 13, 2011 at 10:20)

1.- Samuel Ho from Alberta Canada 2.- Mike Serafin from Illinois 3.- MrPima from California

ShinyRider (Sep 13, 2011 at 12:34)

Samuel for the win! Sickest Totem ever!

turningisfun (Sep 13, 2011 at 16:15)

yup samuel ho for the win

n1ck FL (Sep 13, 2011 at 17:28)

Ridiculousness. But not feeling it. Sorry.

twowheeler123 (Sep 15, 2011 at 10:18)

Remember, its a DIY sticker , you pick and show your own personality. Samuel Ho from Alberta Canada is the BEST, Mike's design is clean and nice, but you cannot do any of your own creation to show your style. SAMUEL HO IS THE WINNER!

GNARman (Sep 12, 2012 at 20:28)

Agreed to all. I really like the ability to make your fork unique and amazing looking at the same time.

30 3

lexx (Sep 12, 2011 at 23:01)

Kreepers by Nick Moore is pretty solid

olaffons (Sep 13, 2011 at 2:56)

Fuckyeah!!

JDMEH (Sep 13, 2011 at 2:58)

Nick Moore FTW! Also for president!

hmendel (Sep 13, 2011 at 8:30)

Nick Moores is the best! So rad

bunkey (Sep 13, 2011 at 12:25)

Kreepers takes my vote too, but I LOVE the Samuel Ho's concept of stacking them however you like - Thats pretty badass.

ridesanoldskool (Sep 13, 2011 at 13:44)

Daniel Severson for the win definatley the best

Z-WAAAAAZ (Sep 13, 2011 at 15:33)

yeah im gonna have to cast my vote out to daniel s too. the old school rockshox reference was pretty funny

n1ck FL (Sep 13, 2011 at 17:31)

Love the skeletal rabbits and dripping pine heads. But the colors are off the wall which you either like or dislike. Needs to be simplified.

dylansiggers (Sep 14, 2011 at 14:21)

Nick Moore from Utah For sure!!!

hunter767 (Sep 14, 2011 at 16:09)

Nick Moore all the way!!

martimus919 (Sep 15, 2011 at 9:19)

Definetly Nick Moore!!

20 0

brajal FL (Sep 13, 2011 at 4:03)

Stoked for reaching top 10 here!

I just have one comment to make ... I still don' t quite understand how close do you have to be from the provided pack graphic elements, because some contenders here don' t show one single element from that file besides the Sram or RS logos. And that is something that determine how far u can go or not. But I'm happy that some of the best designs here where chosen, even if they don't really stick with my interpretation of the brief.

WAKIdesigns (Sep 13, 2011 at 1:55)

SAMUEL HO's idea of composing your own totem literally is brilliant I think. Stickers themselves aren't maybe the best, but such a great concept can be easily developed with help of pro designers. It's an absolute winner for me as it is so contextual, it fits perfectly to that specific fork. It's an absolute winner for me as it is so contextual, it fits perfectly to that specific fork. All others could be placed on any other fork, with no change to the perception of the idea really. If you change Rockshox to Marzocchi nothing changes, no clear relation to RS Totem. Serafins looks best as a graphic design I think, aesthetial and minimalistic but it is a bit too finished and fixed, not allowing much creativity. Would work great for Revelation or Reba, but not on Totem designed to go wiiiiild!

GNARman (Sep 12, 2012 at 20:24)

Like his idea of a customizable shock unique to yourself, plus they look good.

daigneauu (Sep 12, 2011 at 23:08)

Daniel Severson from California if he would only use some more of his ideas on the fork it would be so dope

emotion-captured (Sep 13, 2011 at 2:56)

I liked how simple his was, some of the others looked like what happens when you give a 10 year old stickers

dirtbiker100 FL (Sep 13, 2011 at 5:03)

Yeah his is pretty good but if you're doing work like that at least make sure you spell things correctly...

cglasford (Sep 13, 2011 at 5:57)

Daniel Severson from California if his doesn't win and they have to run Mike serafin's design I hope they at least offer daniels as a sticker pack those are sick!

ridesanoldskool (Sep 13, 2011 at 13:48)

who cares about a little spelling error 90% of people probably wouldnt pick up on it i didnt you guys are over analyzing

Z-WAAAAAZ (Sep 13, 2011 at 15:43)

he didnt spell it wrong, its a refrence to an old rockshox decal of some kind. "when YOUR ready to make them eat your dust, we'll supply the fork." thats actually how it was originally spelled i believe

bermkiller (Sep 12, 2011 at 23:24)

Dear Mike Serafin, Your design is super sick and I know if that is run I will be jealous of yet another infamously awesome decal set-up on the totems! Killing it man!

ridersalva (Sep 12, 2011 at 23:32)

Pedro Brajal from Portugal

brajal FL (Sep 13, 2011 at 2:50)

ratking (Sep 13, 2011 at 1:53)

Thank you PINKBIKE! So stoked even to make top ten. Its a honor to be with all these killer designers, Good to see others who shred the mouse as well as a bike

I would be stoked to ride any of the graphics Killer job everyone! Plenty of super sick designs that did not make top 10,mega props to those guys too. Stoked !!!!

ratking (Sep 13, 2011 at 2:04)

Also thank you Rock Shock for the opportunity to and the FORK! So stoked, My tr 250 is going to look mint with a totem!

nunomelo77 (Sep 13, 2011 at 15:14)

# 2 Pedro Brajal - one unique and distinct piece or art work.

The only one to offer a multi purpose sheet of stickers, ready to use on your fork, frame or helmet.
Another interesting aspect is how Pedro achieved to gather a few elements related to bike riding - the helmet cam on top of the helmet is priceless!

Good luck for friday's announcement mate! :cheers:

brajal FL (Sep 13, 2011 at 15:59)

thanks for your words of understanding, some people seems not to get the propose of a sticker pack... it's not just about fork graphics... that's another job...

north-shore-bike-shop (Sep 13, 2011 at 0:13)

Absolutely love the Bulgarian one! Please even if that doesn't win produce me a few of those so myself and my wife's Totems can rock that design. It's a real-life capture of what a totem pole is and done in a super-stylish and interesting way. The sticker packs are fun but not too many people actually use them.

My personal runner up #1 is New York and #2 is Illinois! Great job to all the finalists and congrats to the eventual winner!

dirtbiker100 FL (Sep 13, 2011 at 4:58)

yep loving the bulgarian one too, would love that on my totems.

Teejeezy (Sep 13, 2011 at 10:39)

the rules of the design contest played no part in the actual picking process which is kinda weird. the rules should have been way more simple: something like design cool rockshox stuff, not to try and follow all these lame rules that don't even matter at the end.

that being said I like Mike Serafin's. Its the only application to the fork that looks legit.

Hostford (Sep 12, 2011 at 23:47)

Mike Serafin or Pedro Brajal

MRFCX (Sep 13, 2011 at 0:30)

Mike Serafin's work is best IMHO. Simple, tasty graphic. But there's one but - if I see clearly, only Pedro Brajal's entry utilises elements of posted sticker pack. It seems, that things slipped out of constest regulations a bit.

LM38 (Sep 13, 2011 at 3:25)

FORÇA PEDRO!
Portugal está contigo!!!
Pedro Brajal has the best sticker pack.

bikergabor (Sep 13, 2011 at 5:34)

Pedro Brajal from Portugal

acnorth11 (Sep 13, 2011 at 11:36)

Wtf is biking coming to? all the designs except for Daniel Severson and Mike Serafin are gay ass hippy rainbow shit. Freeride is supposed to be badass, Not fairy tale land.

tsm11 (Sep 13, 2011 at 11:44)

well said.

trzyzero (Sep 13, 2011 at 12:24)

Sad but true... My 10 years old daugter said that most of it is too candy-like... Well done RS...

brajal FL (Sep 13, 2011 at 17:24)

The colours came from the provided RS file... And I agree that may not be everybody taste , thats why a did a low coulor profile option too

santacruzbullit5 (Sep 13, 2011 at 17:26)

yeah these suck...trzyzero yours should have won

trzyzero (Sep 14, 2011 at 1:57)

Personally i think there was a many way better than mine... but mine was-nt worse than this.

Lehel-NS (Sep 12, 2011 at 23:17)

First design (Daniel Severson), sticker that says: "When YOUR ready to......" Come on people, you should learn some english, especially if YOU'RE from the US!!!

Z-WAAAAAZ (Sep 13, 2011 at 15:45)

he didnt spell it wrong, its a refrence to an old rockshox decal of some kind. "when YOUR ready to make them eat your dust, we'll supply the fork"

Lehel-NS (Sep 14, 2011 at 3:10)

I still think that he spelled it wrong: s3.amazonaws.com/theoatmeal-img/comics/misspelling/your.png

lenmerderdenfer (Sep 14, 2011 at 6:06)

Hilarious find! One of the finalist can not spell on his entry and it gets chosen! This takes the explicative cake!

Lehel-NS (Sep 14, 2011 at 12:24)

The cake is a lie.

Blackdog81 (Sep 13, 2011 at 0:27)

Pedro Brajal from Portugal or Nick Moore from Utah

OrangeGoblin (Sep 13, 2011 at 5:25)

Mike Serafin for pure class, and the one i'd want on my fork. Samuel Ho for a great Idea, but i wouldn't want on MY fork. Daniel Severson and Dan Sharpe for great graphics and flexibility of choice. Great stuff all round.

joaovasco (Sep 13, 2011 at 5:28)

Pedro Brajal for the win Gopro and full face helmet icons are so sick!

AussieBoon (Sep 13, 2011 at 1:16)

I reckon that the design that is going to win will be something similar to the graphics that RS already use. As neat, simple and effective as MIke Serafin's it has no clear similarity to the graphics that RS already use. So i believe that a design like Daniel Severson or Nick Moore will win.

stevo7782 (Sep 13, 2011 at 4:32)

First, congrats to the top 10... my vote goes to MIKE SERAFIN. Though the art work is good in the other designs, im just not into cartoonish lookin stuff, but thats just my personal opinion and say this with no malice intended. What i think would be a great idea is if RS picked 2-3 totally different designs, then when you order, they apply the stickers you have chosen or just send them with your shock for you to apply yourself. This way customers have a little bit moe to chose from and plus it kinda makes your new fork, your own personal design with RS manufactored decals.....just a thought..... congrats everyone!

Mike Serafin from Illinois its nice and a clean sticker job nothing confusing!

Varaxis (Sep 13, 2011 at 6:04)

I like the color and style of Dan Sharpe's, though I wouldn't use that goofy looking ghost with the shades, headband, and strawberry. His is the only one that put graphics on the front of the dropouts.

dansharpe (Sep 13, 2011 at 14:11)

Thanks! Just some quick ideas really. To see the characters I normally produce: www.flickr.com/photos/two-pence/sets/72157604138230752

Nkevin90 (Sep 13, 2011 at 6:06)

Love Nick Moore's, and I'd like Yanchi's best if there was more going on on the left lower, but his design is great. All the designs are great!

mikeserafin (Sep 13, 2011 at 7:34)

There were so many great designs entered so I'm really stoked on making the top 10! It's awesome to see the breadth of talent out there. Thanks for all the positive comments, keeping my fingers crossed...

ssavage06029 (Sep 14, 2011 at 12:21)

Please I hope you realize that the winner is clearly Nick Moore. Dude those tree skulls are the sh#%!!! absolutely love the design and it definitely follows in the footsteps of what belong on the totem which is sick ass graphics. I can tell you beyond the shadow of a doubt I will be buying a pair for my new tr250 if nick Moore wins

ssavage06029 (Sep 14, 2011 at 12:21)

FI5HERMAN (Sep 12, 2011 at 23:05)

Mike Serafins is so clean its not so cluttered like the others, its perfect

xv8racer (Sep 13, 2011 at 0:57)

Great designs by all of the above but Samuel Ho is my fave. Brighter than I would normally go for but easy for anyone to do a good bespoke sticker job and in keeping with the name of the product.

travelinggirl (Sep 13, 2011 at 6:33)

Nick Moore -hands down - unusual concept (skeleton), great graphics on the rockshock logo -also a greaaaat rider and breathes this industry.

Andre1978 (Sep 13, 2011 at 10:47)

Brajal for sure....the Best of the Best!!!!

ergonometric (Sep 13, 2011 at 16:27)

Mike Serafin FTW
Mr Pima #2
and
Samuel HO #3 The totem (pole) concept is rad but the colours are more dj style, the totem is a freeride rig, Samuel HO's design should go to the Argyle

tiago77 (Sep 14, 2011 at 10:10)

BRAJAL from Portugal all the way, is the only that uses real bike and product related stuff !!!!! And the only that showed off the potentiality of his work here.
brajal.pinkbike.com/album/RockShox-Design-it-Yourself

j5ive (Sep 15, 2011 at 13:43)

My only issue with Mike Serafin's design is where is the sticker pack that goes with it? I thought the idea of this contest was to design a sticker packer, not just one logo treatment???

Its a nice logo treatment though!

My vote goes to Daniel Severson for Cali!

TyranT21 (Sep 12, 2011 at 23:21)

Mike Serafin from Illinois OR Daniel Severson from California both are simple and not cluttered mrpima from California would look awesome on a helmet

atomlab31 FL (Sep 13, 2011 at 0:25)

Thought mike serafins other ideas were better. He deserves to win, he's entered pretty much every bike related contest we've seen on pinkbike... Other than that I prefer mrpima's as it actually looks hand drawn. Not a fan of too much vector work.

dhcyc (Sep 13, 2011 at 6:20)

sry but most of these look like a bunch of 7yo kids got stickers with their bubble gums and decided that it would be a good joke to stick them all on a fork of some bike parked right in front of the shop where they just got em

d4zd34n (Sep 13, 2011 at 8:55)

theres some nice designs here but i cant believe that none of slandrews designs from scotland never made top 10,, imo some of his are better than more than half of these ,but out of the ones that have been picked i would go for either mrpima or nick moores designs.

d4zd34n (Sep 14, 2011 at 7:28)

also i really think alot of you are loosing sight of what makes a totem a totem in the first place... it was born out of sheer flambouyancy and outragousness in the fact that it has over sized 40mm stantions for a single crown fork and outragous artwork. its also the only fork to commision artists to design the artwork and sticker packs,no other fork does that except maybe the manni circus but then the artwork isnt commisioned for those forks... imo the artwork should be as bright and outragous as ever otherwise its just not going to simbolise what a totem is all about..

lenmerderdenfer (Sep 14, 2011 at 9:20)

If you are displeased with the way Pink BIke and RockShox pitifully floundered their way through this contest go be heard and tell them. Tell them here! Let them know anyway you can. If I am the only one bitching the factual truths, they will never budge however, if you unite, we could make a lasting impression on SRAM. You have nothing to loose. Well, maybe a few "neg-s" and "negs" bloody hurt! Damn! Do it!

ssavage06029 (Sep 14, 2011 at 12:21)

hurtinunit (Sep 12, 2011 at 23:06)

Nick Moore and Mike Serafin. All of the designs are rad though!

kryp2nyt3 (Sep 12, 2011 at 23:40)

SAMUEL HO alberta. totem pole on a totem pole design is swagger swagged up sick awesome fantastic

nunomelo77 (Sep 13, 2011 at 0:39)

# 2 for the win - Pedro Brajal's art is totally sick!
Congrats mate!

xsalirx (Sep 13, 2011 at 3:32)

Pedro Brajal is the man for the win!

soeone (Sep 13, 2011 at 3:37)

MIKE SERAFIN if it was going on my bike and MRPIMA if I was just going to stick them on my car/random places cos they'd be more fun.

soeone (Sep 13, 2011 at 3:38)

My girl likes SAMUEL HO and I do also kinda like them for both forks and for random use..maybe he should win. GO Canada GO

AirborneAdam (Sep 13, 2011 at 8:32)

Yanchi from Bulgaria and Mike Serafin should both win and as their designs are simple, elegant and GNAR as the Totem is meant to be. I would put both of their stickers on my totem.

MVM1 (Sep 13, 2011 at 9:15)

JAY BYRNES. The melting RockShox logo is great. I want it in red on white t-shirt (please SRAM).

The serafin design is cool but its not a sticker pack. If you ask these other cats to just design graphics for a fork they would give you something totally different.

Andre1978 (Sep 13, 2011 at 10:49)

Brajal, Brajal, Brajal...!!!!!!!

GWDesigns (Sep 13, 2011 at 12:04)

All look great but Daniel Severson needs to spell correctly on a commercial design. It should be 'When you're ready' not 'your'. I think that Mike Serafin's design is very striking, particularly from a distance and also yanchi's is a nice stylistic and subtle design.

Loulouhen (Sep 13, 2011 at 14:13)

Dan sharpe for sure!! Amazing design! Why is everyone going for Mike Serafin?! His design is boring and unoriginal.....a child could have designed a tree!!

gnarlyashell (Sep 13, 2011 at 16:43)

Samuel Ho! By far my favorite. I love the stackable totem idea he was going for. The most original, and the best out of the top 10.

xipanza (Sep 14, 2011 at 12:34)

Sure mrpima from California!!
*********Samuel Ho copy my ROCK idea in yellow, pink, white/black, and blue!!!**************
SHOX

baggins424 (Sep 14, 2011 at 16:05)

Daniel Severson from California- those are the only ones I'd stick on my fork. A good, all-inclusive sticker pack- very original but low key. Embodies what I would think rockshox stands for more than any of the others.

squidhmnm (Sep 15, 2011 at 12:06)

Nick Moore all the way. The time for solid color shocks is over, because everyone just ends up putting stickers that get hashed and look crappy on their shocks anyway. Long live the jackelope!

downhilldj127 (Sep 12, 2011 at 23:19)

Dan Sharpe & Nick Moore... Can't decide which is doper

Nic688 (Sep 12, 2011 at 23:35)

Mike Serafin from Illinois unless it was for an argyle and going on street bike, then one of the colourful ones

nopainnogame (Sep 12, 2011 at 23:35)

Samuel Ho from Alberta - WOW !!!

numshi (Sep 13, 2011 at 0:38)

DAN SHARPE FROM THE UK!!!!!!!

ronantaylor (Sep 13, 2011 at 1:00)

Samuel Ho's is well thought out and actually has a Totem theme unlike most of the rest. Mrpima's is rad, It would look mint on a set of skis or helmet as well

rorycraig1991 (Sep 13, 2011 at 1:00)

Mike Serafin's are sweet! think they should win because the are simple but effective, and a set of them would look lovely on my bike,!!!!!!

crashin (Sep 13, 2011 at 2:44)

yanchi from Bulgaria Or Mike Serafin from Illinois They are all really sick, but they are my favourite, with mrpima from California's probably being my least favourite.

cholla (Sep 13, 2011 at 5:52)

No one, if I'm honest. All are ugly as a hell... from 1000+ entries this is the top10, what kind of joke ?

Anyway, if we must vote - Daniel Severson , California

cerejo (Sep 13, 2011 at 7:36)

Brajal!! they look awesome, and having a pack of stickers for the helmet just makes it better, nice work, i would put a pack of those on my Lyric!!

nicgenovese (Sep 13, 2011 at 8:59)

Nick Moore's from Utah has got my vote!

shredb4dead (Sep 13, 2011 at 9:42)

Mike Serafin from Illinois FTW. Love his clean and simple design. The only sticker packs I would consider would be Daniel Severson from California and mrprina from California. The rest of the bubble gum colors would be fine if I was 13 years old.

khspiper (Sep 13, 2011 at 10:28)

#1 Daniel Severson
#2 Mrpima
#3 Samuel Ho

and good job to all the entrants and the eventual winner...and if you don't win don't be a sore loser

unleash (Sep 13, 2011 at 10:29)

mike serafins design looks good would like to see what he could do with the lyric design.the stickers that i got with my original totems went straight in the bin they had no place on a mountainbike maybe on a school kids lunch box,but some people like this stuff .serafins all day long classy design.mr pima design would look good on a tshirt like the yeti .

Vaclav FL (Sep 13, 2011 at 10:46)

Honestly, I think these are all super lame. Is this the kids competition or something? None of these encapsulate the word "totem" or look like something built for ripping. I had high hopes for this competition too.

si-paton (Sep 13, 2011 at 12:57)

Samuel Ho from Albero Canada. I'm guessing you can stack each decal in whatever order you like so truly custom and original. Gets my vote!

fox1406 (Sep 13, 2011 at 15:12)

nick moore..i think that thetre was a lot better designs,then those 10..i igree some of them are realy great..but some are made like a simple paint cut paste.. -.-

Did you even look at my "car" image? It has a bike on top of it with a 2013 RockShox Totem on it. I had simply put all the elements into context.

The contest was to design stickers for the forks, cars helmets, etc. Was it not? That is what was published.

I really dont think they could of picked them by faves, some of the ones picked here only had a few faves. I know 2 of my designs and few other people's not picked had around 50 faves so why are these not in the top ten?, I know I followed the contest rules.

No man, I know. I was just making a joke. Your design is sweet and I dont care that its recycled. I agree completely.

stevo7782 (Sep 14, 2011 at 7:10)

well man, i can only speak for myself here... my interpretation of the rules&regs are this...we were to design a cool ass fork to win a chance to design the sticker pack. once youve won, you have 6 months to submitt your stciker pack ideas. it doesnt state anywhere that, whats on your fork is gonna be the sticker pack, if that was the case then why a 6 month deadline? The using of the previous sticker packs is very vague, is says "utilize some elements"..well, isnt that open to the interpretation of the word "some"? I know peeps are a bit outraged by the voting, or should i say chosing of the top 10, it does state that they will be voted on by the public, my only conclusion was that they were gonna be based on how many "favorites" the design has and then broken down from there, if thy werent gonna be chosen that way, why have the "favorite" button? I cant say if it was unfair or not , but due to the vague rules&regs, peeps did their best on what their interpretation of them were. I feel, that everyone who is upset, is just passionate of their art and this was a big deal for everyone. As far as RS using anyones designs for later use, well...we all agreed to that once we uploaded the designs, but i will say if they wanted to do that to the top 10, then fine...but if they were to use anyone one of them, why wouldnt they be in the top 10 from the get go? And if RS didnt know this would be a huge deal, how could they not?? A chance to have your artwork all over the world, sounds like a big deal to me.

larryssman7 (Sep 15, 2011 at 10:55)

mike serafin for sure! They should make the sticker packs in different colors, too;sky blue and neon green, orange and green, etc.

bermkiller (Sep 15, 2011 at 22:07)

I think Mike win's by default... used "ctrl+f" and searched everyones name.. Mike Serafin had almost 300 hits and runner up Samuel Ho only had about 100 and some

Daniel Seversons has a grammar error. A lot of them look the same as the old sticker sets.

lenmerderdenfer (Sep 12, 2011 at 23:36)

Dear RockShox and PinkBike,

You are 5 days late and you did not follow you own rules! Please refer to the following here below.

"SELECTION PROCESS

The 10 people’s choice finalists will be voted on by the general public through the Pink Bike website (www.pinkbike.com) and announced on September 8th.
These 10 artists will get a Totem fork as a consolation prize and move on to the final round of voting. The final winner will be selected by guru’s, mainly us and the Totem artists of the past five years and announced during Interbike 2011... Some of the guys in this book will be your judges.' Your latest posts states the following... '...The team at SRAM had a tough task of going through the 1000+ entries and narrow it down to 10. We received several times more submissions than we expected which took time to sift through,..." I know, I am a sore looser! Even so, You did not follow your own rules! I am definitely buying a Fox product for sure! P.S. My RockShox Lyrik came with a creaking steerer tube / crown interface, a clipping red rebound knob on the lowers that fell off the first day on the jumps at the local downhill track, a U-turn that dialed down on it's own during my rides down the hill, a loose bushing in the right leg, premature leaking of the dust wiper seals and last but not least the maxle does not load the bearings in my front wheel correctly, unless I spend more than five minutes messing about with it. Anyway, keeping all of this in mind I still wanted to contribute to RockShox, (I must have a hole in my head) and I gave you designs that are beyond compare and you, not the general public selected the 4 year old girl's sticker book collection! It figures. Lastly, how many riders have you actually seen using these infantile sticker books? I have yet to see even one, even one.

Yours Cordially,

The shit starter from hell!

10 1

Lehel-NS (Sep 12, 2011 at 23:48)

Now who's infantile? You rant that RS has not choosen your design... That, and the 5 day delay is a good reason not to buy a RS product!

2 15

lenmerderdenfer (Sep 12, 2011 at 23:53) (Below Threshold)

That is not my point! Did you even read my comments? I stated 5 days late, Did not follow their own rules and I then went on to enumerate the SRAM failures found in my Fork.

Lehel-NS (Sep 13, 2011 at 0:01)

That's exactly what you have written down.... Maybe you should express yourself differently, and calm down.

ButtonPusher (Sep 13, 2011 at 0:05)

that's a BS rant if i ever heard one, and i'm not even sure what you're upset at PB about other than your design didn't get chosen... what's the problem with a task being more overwhelming than originally thought and taking slightly longer than estimated? I don't see how not meeting a deadline is breaking any rules...

if there's one good thing about this lame rant it's that it made me check out your designs which are actually pretty good...

ButtonPusher (Sep 13, 2011 at 0:28)

a deadline for themselves is not a rule..!

10 0

LukeT66 (Sep 13, 2011 at 2:18)

I kinda agree with lenmerderdenfer, it did say the top ten were to be voted by the general public on pinkbike and now they are saying the guys at sram decided. You cant just change the rules of a compitition and not tell anyone. If I knew sram was going to be deciding then i would of spend more time on actual stickers and simpler stuff and less on designs that I thought the people on pinkbike would like. Not trying to be a sore loser or anything but I think its a bit unfair.

WAKIdesigns (Sep 13, 2011 at 2:38)

SRAM is a big company and as any other one like that, rolls on max profit generation principles, where market research by public query is one of many elements of product design process... company is also people which tend to get very excited and holistic in the beginning of most actions then confront the reality. But I agree: rules should be rules, and they should be SO Seriousss about them

dbudd (Sep 13, 2011 at 6:46)

I hope rock shox doesn't even give you the satisfaction of recognizing that you exist.. Just ignore that kid RS! He is probably 11 years old and his mom wrote this cause her "baby" didn't win

WAKIdesigns (Sep 13, 2011 at 7:20)

I like your passion lenmerderdenfer

only thanks to people like you some change has actualy a chance to happen

and park-rider-2 - there is nothing worse or more pathetic than someone that can't swear or insult properly. There's got to be a rhythm to swearing, i.e stupid big fat kid doesn't sound as good as big fat stupid kid - train it in front of the mirror

tirefunk - you are 21 wow, you probably managed to get it in at least once

ButtonPusher (Sep 13, 2011 at 9:12)

just stop and think for a moment, if pinkbike let their users choose from "thousands of entries" it would be chaos and get no where, there would be so many ties going on it would never get sorted out... it's not realistic to have a user base as big as pinkbike's narrow down competition from thousands to 10... it would just be a bunch of forum type bashing like what goes on here...

epavichthesavage (Sep 13, 2011 at 9:20)

yeah i agree with luket66, i geared mine toward what people on pinkbike would like. not sram. If i knew that was the case i would have went with more of a sticker idae. i saw many great designs that, not to insult the winners , were just overall more appealing to a larger crowd. Then again i can't say im not surprised

LukeT66 (Sep 13, 2011 at 10:42)

The thing is though sram said it was going to be voted by people on pinkbike, so you are going to try to make your designs so that the pinkbike public will like them and fave them. If sram decided half way through the contest that they wanted to pick them by themselves then they should of atleast let everyone know. I bet there was a lot of people that got a lot of faves on one of there designs and thought they would just stop coming up with any more designs. I thought it was a bit unrealistic aswell letting everybody on pinkbike vote, but that is what they said in the rules and now they changed that without even letting anyone know.

epavichthesavage (Sep 13, 2011 at 12:06)

no, its not unrealistic to ask the people to vote. thats what was stated in the contest rules. to change it really at the tail end of things is pretty low. I can imagine that many people are not very happy right now. People thought that the most legit designs would be brought up ( I thought it would be like the t shirt contest where they placed like 100 designs) then from there WE would all vote.
I wouldn't be surprised at this point ROCKSHOX simply ripped off our designs later in the year. Troy lee did that to me when they had a design a helmet contest a while back

lenmerderdenfer (Sep 13, 2011 at 12:46)

@buttonpusher, Your theory is flawed! Why? Presidential elections work!

ButtonPusher (Sep 13, 2011 at 14:02)

Presidential elections don't work... That's why George W Bush lost the popular vote, but was still "elected" president much to the outrage of MANY citizens...

ButtonPusher (Sep 13, 2011 at 14:06)

also, people who are voting for a president are not given thousands of options of who to vote for...

epavichthesavage (Sep 13, 2011 at 14:13)

AH , but thats politics. never trust the man

lenmerderdenfer (Sep 13, 2011 at 22:27)

epavichthesavage, Yeah but, it does not make it right!

lenmerderdenfer (Sep 13, 2011 at 22:28)

@buttonpusher, That was a monarchy destiny thing with Bush! That ordeal was a slanted election. I am talking about fair, clear, open, honest with integrity voting.

ButtonPusher (Sep 13, 2011 at 22:44)

but how effective is voting when there's over 1000 options..?
i'd agree that it was lame for them to not at least make an announcement on here of things changing... but i just think that they likely had to make a judgement call to cancel the initial 'vote' due to the sheer amount of entries pouring in... there should have been clear communication on that decision, even if people disagreed an announcement would've minimized peoples bad feelings about the change...

but if they hadn't changed it;
can you imagine looking at over 1000 designs and trying to pick one favorite or even a top 5 from that many..? imagine how long that would take..?
by like 480 my eyes would hurt, and by 670ish i just wouldn't care anymore...

lenmerderdenfer (Sep 13, 2011 at 22:48)

Your forgetting one very important essential fact... they (SRAM) asked for it! So, they are to assume the responsibilities for there contest. Anyway, that discussion is all moot as the Pink Bike community was to vote. Not RockShox (SRAM)!

lenmerderdenfer (Sep 13, 2011 at 22:51)

SRAM, Your lack of response is concession to mismanagement and clumsy communication! You don't say?

WAKIdesigns (Sep 13, 2011 at 23:59)

I think you start expecting too much...

lenmerderdenfer (Sep 14, 2011 at 0:12)

epavichthesavage (Sep 14, 2011 at 8:25)

yeah lenmerderdenfer, i know its not right. im pissed as well. but fact is that its over. no point in holding a grudge. lets all just move on. this kind of stuff happens all the time for me

lenmerderdenfer (Sep 14, 2011 at 9:21)

LukeT66 (Sep 14, 2011 at 9:45)

I think it's ridiculous that sram/rock shox wont even give an explanation. What they have to remember is that we (the mountain bikes) are the ones that buy there products and kinda make them a successfull company. They should be keeping there customers happy not pissing them off.

epavichthesavage (Sep 14, 2011 at 11:52)

it doesn't matter if we say anything or not because at the end of the day, we are just 3 internet strangers who are displeased with what has happened here. but I hope thats not the case, anyone else who feels the same way should voice their opinion now. Because of this im not sure if i will even bother trying to enter another pinkbike contest again
