Hey everyone,

I thought it would be cool to have the shore represented in this year's GoPro video contest on Pinkbike, so I submitted a run down Imonator. If you dig it, you can vote for it over on Pinkbike. Enjoy!

And here's some leftover footage including a crash and some different angles that I didn't end up using:

Well done. Quality riding on a quality built trail. Good to see someone's getting out in the rain.

I did! Thanks to everyone that voted. I was happy to make it into the monthly top ten and didn't think I'd stand a chance against the pros.

And a huge thanks to Rob Hlus and Ian Collings for building this one of a kind trail. Their woodwork was probably responsible for the majority of those votes!

Nice riding, that's a tough trail even when it's completely dry!

Not bad riding, I guess, but what about in the snow and ice??? Lets get an updated version of this section.

Kidding. Great to see someone making a difficult set of obstacles look easy, nice riding.

WTF, how many entries did that Storey guy submit!? He's in 5 or 6 elims

This trip to Kelowna was definately an undertaking - Liam and I had been planning this project for 24 hours. We worked really hard to pull out all the stops in this video. We had slo-mo goggle shots; time lapses; pedal flips; outrageous product shots; unloading and loading the bike; walking through the field with your hand in wheat. At the end of the day this trip was all about just getting out and riding with all my friends.

Yeah, that seems a little shitty.

Voted for ya Dave! Good Luck!

Ride, don't slide.

Over the 5 months of the contest I submitted 5 videos, 4 made it into the finals. After spending so long building these lines I was excited to enter them into the competition. I had no idea that 4 would make into the top 16. Hope you guys don't think that's 'shitty' on my part. It's not like I paid them off or something, I just like to think it's hard work that got them there :)

I was a little shocked when I saw how many entries you had in the finals, but then I realized that each one of those entries battled it out in the monthly finals fair and square. The people have spoken and they like your videos :)
