O’Neal and Greg Minnaar have teamed up to provide their fans with an exciting game focused on the 2012 World Cup season. Before each World Cup you can try to predict Greg’s result and you'll earn points the closer you get to the actual result.

The game starts with the World Cup in Val di Sole, Italy from 2nd to 3rd of June and will end with the World Championships in Leogang, Austria from 31st of August to 2nd of September.

What do you need to do?

You have to make your predictions on Greg´s performance in both the qualifying and the race itself for every remaining World Cup in 2012. The closer you get to his actual position the more points you will get. Greg will help you as well, because the faster he rides and the better he ranks, the more points you get!

You can place your guess or change it right up until the day before qualifying and then check your result afterwards in comparison with all the other players. After every World Cup the one with the most points will win special O’Neal product from the new collection.

On the 3rd of September, the day after the 2012 World Championships in Leogang, the lucky winner will be announced and they will win 2 VIP tickets to the World Cup in Hafjell/Norway.

The race will take place in Hafjell, Norway, from 13th to 15th of September. The prize includes two flight tickets to Lillehammer and back, hotel for one night, two tickets to the World Cup in Hafjell and a meet & greet with World Champion and O´Neal rider Greg Minnaar.

So what are you waiting for? Play the Game here!

 One thing: if there is anybody here that has anything to do with Norwegian Ministry of Transport - would you finaly fix the road between Oslo and Hafjell? Because it seems faster to go around through Fjords and Jotunheimen or one of the gravel roads risking to be sexually violated by a troll.

And the system to pay for highway does not help either... it's a joke

 Not gunna lie but I am seriously confused to where that joke came from, seemed to come out of the blue! I was going through the comments and they were all related to this competition is some sort of way, and then BOOM..I see a joke about being sexually violated by a troll. Wow...

 motorcrosser12: Yea that would be a bummer right? Would turn the whole affair with meeting Greg into an experience on its own -

"Yea the other day I was meant to meet one of the fastest people on the planet, an icon of the sport that is beyond passion to me. On the way to the meeting I got pissed off after standing for four hours in a road jam and decided to take a detour through a land that can be honestly described as nowhere. In the middle of proceedings I happened to come upon something even more extraordinary - 9ft tall creature stood in the middle of the road and it turned out to be a real troll - just like the one sculptured in Lillehammer. As if it wasn't strange enough it appeared to be a horny female... so after I got to the place and met the very man that the whole affair was about, mr consistency if you like, he asked me what do I want to talk about. With the highest effort, I resisted and managed to stay quiet about what has occured after I was dragged out of the car and violated, hearing the grunts as it reached for my groin, that I was sure to be a troll version of "who's your daddy". I urged to but could not speak about it, such story would be a disgrace in that given situation, he would obviously think I am confessing my dirtiest sexual fantasies (considering the arguable beauty of the violator) to him and convincing him that it was a reality would be futile - and who could honestly want to hear such rubbish before the last race of the season?"

 Following Pink Bike daily, over time I noticed that WAKI has very strong opinions about anything and everything. Today we we've learned that he has been to Norway, and he doesn't like it. It is also possible he is trolling for Trolls in dark Norwegian forests.

WAKI stop bitching about everything, ride your bike way more you will be happier. If you have problem with understanding that in English this is Polish version "pojezdzij na rowerze wiécej lepiej sié poczujesz"

 I love Norway, I'm going there next week, there's miles and miles of nobody and what else can a man that hates people expect? - I just don't like that road to Hafjell which is an amazing riding place. They always do road works on it, and you have no choice because there's lake on one side and moose infested woods on the other with two bridges on a lane of 100km. I'm not btch'n I'm letting my fantasy go - especially that I'll see that troll figure in Lillehammer again - it's sweet.

 Greg's my favourite rider so I would probably end up putting him winning every race and qualifying, witch isn't impossible. Let's go Greg!

 You need to allow the App to connect with your Facebook Account (User-Authentification). Normally you should see a small Pop-Up directly from Facebook. If you dont see the Pop-up, try to re-load the Page and confirm then the Pop-Up. Good Luck!

Much better to ride with him, than race him!

 Maybe if most of us started half way down the course it might be fair. Although it would be fun to see at which point he would catch you.
