CONTEST: Wilderness Trail Bikes

Think you've got what it takes to race the invite-only TDS Enduro?

For the first time ever, event organizers are providing race entries for three lucky winners who prove they have what it takes to survive the weekend at what we think is America's gnarliest enduro race. Three contest entries will be selected to win a TDS Golden Ticket, which grants them free entry to race the coveted event!

How to enter: All you need to enter is a phone and mad skills. Put together a 15-30 second video of you going full gas and proving you've got the chops to race TDS. Taking place in the Sierra Nevada foothills of California, all twelve stages of the TDS are among the roughest and rowdiest tracks in America, so show us you've got the skills to keep it (mostly) rubber side down throughout the weekend. Enter the contest by posting the video to Instagram and tagging all of the following hashtags in the caption of your video.

Choosing a winner: The legendary Mark Weir himself will review the video submissions and select three lucky TDS Golden Ticket winners by March 16th. The Godfather of American Enduro values off-camber corners, white knuckle rock chutes, and unreasonably high speeds. Let the videos begin!

TDS Enduro dates: April 13-15, 2018

Details: We're accepting entries from anywhere in the world, but winners are responsible for getting themselves to and from the event. We will cover the race entry fee, but participants are on their own for the rest of it, including food and lodging. There is plenty of space for camping on site, so sweep out the back of your pickup truck and bring a sleeping bag. Privateers encouraged. Self-reliance required.

 Feeckkk, there's this hugeee huck to flat on my campus I've been sizing up for years. Definitely an ankle breaker, but I think this weekend I'm gonna send that shit. Totally worth for the possibility of hitting this track.

 I suppose if one is starry-eyed to hang around Norcal enduro bro's then this contest may be the shiz. That said, it seems kinda chintzy (they let you in and you pay for everything else, woo-hoo?) compared to most contests posted on PB.

 Bro. Come on and shred...funny the industry / pros that currently go got grilled by the land owners for lack of maintaining the property. I think this looks rad but have a huge issue with the elitism associated with it.

 Yesterday, i was climbing up a pretty mellow trail, and some guy on a green hightower LT was coming down so i pulled aside and watched him, while his mom filmed him, for what im now assuming was this contest entry. just some advice if you see this, you should find something to film that doesnt involve you going slow over a few roots....

 Back before YouTubers were riding Huffys (Huffies?) at Whistler for likes there was a mythical race called the Walmart Downhill and it was just that. Year after year we all heard new stories about it but no one ever seemed to be able to recall where it was or even which friend had actually been there. The mystery lives on...

 This event is totally ridiculous fun and a quick 3 miles from my house. I'll be there, up to my knees in poison oak, sipping on a barley pop wondering how anyone could ride the track at such speed. #whipit
