Summer Shred Showdown: Final Round - Vote Now!

Aug 9, 2011
by CONTOUR Cameras  
The final round of the Summer Shred Showdown is officially underway! The voters have narrowed the field down to two videos: one from the USA, and one from Poland. The videos are very different, and both well done and now they need YOU to cast your vote. The winner gets a pretty amazing day with the crew from Anthill Films on the set of Strength in Numbers, a Transition TransAM frame, Gravity bar/stem combo, a seven night (!!!) stay at Bear Back Biking in Whistler, a pack from Dakine and a Contour+ camera.

All votes must be in by noon pacific time on Wednesday, August 10th, 2011. For extra incentive, we'll be giving out prizes to random voters - including some sweet new cameras.

Here are the final two videos:


USA




Poland



Think you know who should win? Vote now!

 Obviously the riding in the video from Poland is superior,but I don't think that makes it a better edit. Its not difficult to point a camera at a dirt jump and have some gnarly rider whip tricks off. Don't get me wrong, the rider from Poland is sick, obviously, I just think that as far as the actual use of the camera goes(which this is about i figure) the other edit is far more diversified in its nature. my .02

 The video from Poland is way better than the USA video.

 I have to fully agree... I wish I entered because I didn't think that there would be such a lack in killer edits, although the filming was nice. Hopefully next year people will be a little more motivated to make a video because I know 'merica has a lot better riding to be shown than some xc riding...

 There wasn't necessarily a lack in killer edits, its just that the contest was about who has the most facebook friends, not actual quality of the video and rider ability.

 Ah, well that plain sucks because there's already been a very successful voting system for brackets like this and it was called the UFC. Hopefully next time when a comp. like this with an extremely good premise shows up, they'll run it like that instead of using facebook... I mean really? FACEBOOK??

Regardless, I guess someone is getting that tight prize so there's nothing bad about that!

 It's obvious the riding is better in the Polish DJ video but there are no creative editing qualities to the video. I'm gonna have to go USA trail rider.

 the polish one might have some better riding, but the filming quality is horrible, way blurry and no true style to the way it was filmed
