Drop In Contest WINNER!
Months ago I started to see home made versions of Drop In season 3 posters popping up on the forum submitted by random Drop In fans. I thought it was pretty cool and I admired their creativity as more and more showed up so I made a little contest out of it. Well that morphed into a bigger contest - The prize? The winning poster would be printed and signed by the entire Drop In - International Crew in New Zealand and returned to it's creator. We have a winner. Graydon Stead from Sorrento B.C.It all started with the original poster contest which required the entrants to print our promo poster and post it in an original way.
The weather across Canada was horrible for almost the entire duration of that contest and it was a chore just to go outside in some areas. I think that might have been the factor that sparked some fans to start making their own posters.
After a month and a half and over 50 entries Drop In Producer Tim Bieber had to make a decision. Poor guy.
I think he chose well though and he had the winning design blown up and printed off on photo paper, he brought that poster all the way to Wellington, New Zealand where he showed it to the entire Season 1 International Crew. They all liked it as well and put the finishing touches on the design - ALL of their autograph's.
It was good timing as we had a stacked crew at the time with Mike Kinrade at the end of his 2 week stay that Devinci, his new and improved bike sponsor, sent him on, as well as Dylan Tremblay at the beginning of a guest rider stint provided by Block 8, and Steve Romaniuk who had just arrived to relieve Berrecloth riding for Adidas Eyewear. The full time crew of Randy Spangler, Shawn Denny, and Nathan Greenwood also signed the poster and the production crew of Milkman, Ambrose, Tim, and Myself also added their John Henry's.
As well as the one-of-a-kind self made collectors item Graydon recieved two Drop In Team Dirtbag T shirt (long sleeve and short sleeve) and a T Shirt from Santa Cruz. Congratualations Graydon.
Keep your eyes peeled for the new site for season 1 - New Zealand which is upcoming and the next contest brought to you by Drop In.
