PINKBIKE ACADEMY
PRESENTED BY SHIMANO
10 Riders. 2 Weeks. 1 Pro Contract + $25k
There are so many incredible enduro riders out there struggling to break through on their skill and potential alone. We want to change that, so for 2020 we've created the
Pinkbike Academy presented by Shimano.
We are choosing 10 riders,
five men and
five women, from around the world to travel to BC this summer to battle it out against each other in a series of riding-related challenges. Riders will be eliminated through a series of challenges as the 10-part series progresses, and the winner will come away with a
Pro Contract from Orbea as well as a
$25,000 Grand Prize!
We're excited to produce our first reality show and introduce the world to a whole new wave of riders.
Want in? The show will be judged by some well-known industry insiders and pros, but the riders we select for the Academy will need more than just speed and fitness to take the win. Do you have the style, personality, and perseverance to make it through?
This could be
your opportunity to make some real money riding your bike. Not just free product and small travel budget, but a proper chance at a professional contract and the incredible support that comes with it.
Apply Now We are seeking to cast five men and five women aged 19-39 from around the world who are available to travel to British Columbia (exact dates to be confirmed, we are monitoring the Covid-19 pandemic closely). If you're selected for the 2020 Pinkbike Academy we will handle all your travel and accommodation costs. That's right, at the very least you'll get a free trip to British Columbia, an incredible experience, and some great swag. The winner of the show will receive a Pro Contract with Orbea as well as the $25,000 Grand Prize.
Please note: it will be a level playing field and all participants will be riding bikes and kit provided by the sponsors who have made this project possible.Step 1: Film a 1–5 minute video showcasing your riding and explaining why we should choose you. Show us what your day-to-day looks like, what your secret skills are, etc. Bonus points for creativity. The best videos will help you stand out as a unique candidate for the show.
Step 2: Complete the entry form

We can't wait to hear from you and to get this project rolling.

That’s my take on what’s going to happen with a Pinkbike reality show.
I say we call AARP's attorneys and force our way in.

If only I wasn't horrendously unfit and married with kids, actually... would love a two week holiday on my own!
Please, mountain bikers, don't fall for this! The Real World needs to stay a memory in my past!

We shouldn't be putting these people together in one house?
I suppose the real question is: whats included in the contract?
No need to respond, just being rhetorical.
Fixed it for you
downvote me all you want
Can I bring too wide a handle bar as well ?
Yes it is, at big white bikepark
