Any one who has looked through the video entry's in the Ride Giant, Ride Whistler contest, has seen the video submitted by Filipe Perestrelo, user name Filp.
contest video entry - https://www.pinkbike.com/video/261369/#cid1286774
It is pretty evident that he is as dedicated a biker as it gets, but is doing all this shredding on a supermarket bike(whats left of it after some gnarly jumps for the video). I know I am not the only person on pinkbike who would like to help this guy out and have some spare parts he could use. So I've started this page to create a spot where we can all discuss the parts we can give, or the mechanical time (building wheels etc) to help out an awesome fellow rider.
To ensure that we aren't sending him every random part we own and hes getting a bunch of 24" front wheels and 27.2 seatposts or something I think we should aim to creating a parts list that will all fit with each other, and presumably the giant glory frame.
Also as shipping to Portugal isnt cheap We will also start a shipping donation fund. If your interested in donating to help out with shipping costs please send money to the paypal email : "azonicrider22@hotmail.com" All donations will be posted here along with the amount given (unless you wish to remain anonymous). All funds that remains after shipping will be sent direct to Filipe who im sure will put it to great use either to pay to put it all together or for tools, spare parts, etc etc.
Parts NEEDED: Frame: NEEDED* (unless he wins the glory which is more then likely) Fork: Rock Shox Totem 09, jr-t 03 Headset: Pig DH Pro Fr Wheel: NEEDED Rr Wheel: , Mavic ex721 laced to XT hub Crankset: holzfeller BB: truvativ Brakes: Avid elixir 7's Rotors: Hope 8" Stem: holzfeller Bar: hussefelt 31.8 Derailleur: X7 Shifter: x7 Chainguide: lg1+ Pedals: dmr magnesium Tires: 2.5 maxxis highrollers Seat: Charge spoon Seat post: Bontrager 31.6

I've got some spare parts lying around, some are newer than others. I have an entire X7 setup that's been used, but it works; I'd be more than thrilled to post it to him! I also have a couple of used hayes 8" rotors if you don't have a matching set.

Bump! this is a great cause! I have a Hayes Trail front brake and its almost new and the pads are in great shape. Let me know where I can ship it too...
Hello, he should create a paypal account for donations, i would like to help him but i dont have spare parts but i could donate some euros. Think about that and good luck
hi, i've got a pair of maxxis high roller DH tyres, dual ply, 26 x 2.5 - MaxxPro 60a that i would be more than happy to donate to this guy. both used, one of them is very worn down but obviously still ridable the other is in decent condition.
Radrider, you are a hero.. when i posted that comment under the video of filipe, i meant what i said litrally, but i never would have thought someone would actually take time to make this whole thing possible.. i'm behind you 100% man. good work! oh, and i do have a few parts lying around here and there, that i would be more than happy to give away. its good to know that there are still people out there who are kind generous enough to do stuff like this.. keep it up guys.

Sweet man im sure he will love that set, I may actually have another 2.5 high roller i could send aswell in good condition so hes got a sick set.
have splined truvativ bottom bracket, brand new if any use?
also poly carb 36t shimano bash ring.
and some decent grips in very good cond.
Just a though guys but maybe if this guy had a paypal account we could all just send him £5 or sumthin, lose change to the individual but will probably mount up at his end to a decent amount, then maybe him and his family could get exactly what they want, rather than a load of random parts that may or may not be any good to him.
