For AIRprentice last year, we had such high quality entries it was really tough to cut it down to the 9 that keeps things symmetrical and tidy for AIRprentice. This year the situation is much the same: there are 11 riders we'd like to take to Silver Star, so we are giving three riders one week to battle for the last spot making the total 9.

What do these guys have to do to impress us and get in AIRprentice 2012? They need to show us there are resourceful, talented, connected and creative. In short they need to: produce, promote, create, inspire.

Have a look at the three riders here, and leave a comment to get them stoked...

Garrett should be picked to compete. Not only is he a great rider, but the ability to write quality blog posts and vastly publicize media is something not a lot of riders do well and is an invaluable skill to an e-magazine.

Another vote for Garrett. He is a fantastic rider but also a great kid and ambassador to the sport…..despite questionable parentage…..:grinno:

A vote for Denis for the varied types of riding, sweet cornering style, and a vid that's fun to watch.

1. Denis Courchesne - very smooth rider, shows a good variety of riding as well. Good vid.
2. Aiken Collinge - good rider, will get better living in Whistler, good vid and story.
3. Garrett Thibault - good rider but needs to understand that he needed to show more variety in a 2:37 video. Take charge of your presentation of your abilities.

Everyday on a bicycle is a good day!!

Thanks everyone for the kind words!

I understand my mistake now. When I was deciding what I wanted to put together I thought a video that contained some pedaling showed the most complete package taking into account the content contained in the articles I had previously written.
I definitely should not have relied on previous content and made one video that contained it all. I'm glad I've been given a second chance and I will try to put something together to compete with the other guys.
