VANCOUVER, BC, November 18, 2008, – Big Mountain Bike Adventures has teamed up with freeride pioneer Wade Simmons and launched the Dear Wade contest, where art and words decides the winner.
North Shore-based Simmons has been on the forefront of freeride mountain biking since it’s inception. As a rider, he’s known for his big airs, smooth creativity and his uncanny ability to ride the most technical terrain with ease and flow. Beyond his riding prowess, what truly sets Simmons apart is his unpretentiousness and genuine love of the sport and those who do it. “What really fuels me is seeing people having fun and showing them what they’re capable of,” says Simmons with a wide childish grin, “I love riding. What I really love is riding in Costa Rica with a crew of mountain bikers ready to explore the mountains, have fun and take their riding to another level.”
The contest is simple: send Wade 100 words or less and one photo and explain why you deserve to ride with him in Costa Rica. Simmons is encouraging entries to be creative and think outside the box. Leading up to the January 15th deadline, selected entries will be posted on NSMB.COM as will the winning entry.
Along with the trip, the grand prize winner will get to test ride a 2009 Rocky Mountain Flatline during the trip and receive a Dakine Apex riding pack and a Sombrio clothing jersey, shorts and gloves with a total value of $3500 Canadian.
