On Saturday night, January 26th 2013, Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance hosted their first ever Winter Stoke Party and Dirt Junkie MTB Video & Photo Contest. The evo store in Seattle was filled to capacity with just over 200 people and a stellar time was had by all!
The kegs were flowin’, folks won sweet prizes in the auction and raffles, and everyone voted for their favorite photo and video. Plenty of wintertime mountain bike stoke was generated along the way. By popular vote...
The Dirt Junkie Video Contest winners were:
•
1st Place - Walter Yi with Hoar Frost:
•
2nd Place - Jasper Wesselman with Jill Kitner & Co at Galbraith:
•
3rd Place - Jack Anderson with Lukas at Duthie:

HUGE thanks to everyone who entered the photo & video contests - and to everyone who bought bike raffle tickets or came out to the party. Evergreen raised approximately $7000 in net proceeds - all of which will go towards Evergreen’s Education Program and Washington Student League for middle school and high school age kids. Nice work everyone!
Finally, a big shout out to all the party sponsors (Contour, Diamondback Bicycles, Platypus, New Belgium) and all those who donated items to the silent auction including The Lumberyard, Rain City Spirits, Stevens Pass Bike Park, and more. Most especially our thanks go out to the fine folks at evo for providing such a stellar venue for the party!
If you couldn't make it this year, there's always next year. So check out this year’s winning entries. Then start shooting those photos and videos now, and plan to be at the next Winter Stoke Party in January 2014.

And yep 2nd vid for me + 2nd Photo. The title 'MTB photo contest' should've been enough to warrant a 'MTB' within the picture.
