Good luck!
Whistler is expensive :/
Have GoPro footage from Whistler: umm, check...well, from last year
Must use non-commercial/royalty-free music or have permission from record label to use commercial track: umm, what, for a fan video!?
Must be prepared to make another longer edit - at own cost - if my edit is shortlisted: !?!?!
Nice one GoPro...that's a pretty absurdly high barrier to entry you've set there!

I wish pinkbike would get their shit together and run this thing like a real deal instead of this half ass work.
