 Ralfinger, if you think pinkbike is any different than FB, it is your stupidity that couldn't be more clear... Shameless advertising is the face of FB and pinkbike... How the F$%k do you think these sites stay running... Seems your a part of the problem to brotha...

 Big Grin

pinkbike is different in some points, but actually your right the censorship on pinkbike is almost the same.

but pinkbike is a news site fore me, not only a site that only collects data about you (like fb is)

i know google does the same, but they do it in a way more acceptable way.

anyway i have enough friends in real life so i dont need facebook.

i am sorry if i upset you! but facebook is my personal horror and only one of the signs that show us what will be ahead of us!

it sucks that some people cant understand my point and that it has nothing to do with pinkbike or the contest!

 Agree Wink

Simmons, Schley, Tippie, Dangerous Dan, and their crew - those are "freeride legends"... the Claw, Cam, on their way too...
With due respect to Andreu, he's definitely badass and goes big - just not sure I consider slopestyle stuff as "freeride"...

 Why the hell don't we do this contest on pinkbike.com? We shouldnt have to navigate away from pinkbike to win a damn bike! ..............oh and i dont have a facebook. maybe thats why im so mad....? plus the way they are determining the winner is not legit! the only way some of us will ever get to own a masterpiece like this...... is to win it!(dreamers) so it should be done in a better way....?

 Due to the overwhelming response to the Andreu / Unit / Mondraker promotion, Facebook is unable to process all entries. Because of this we are forced to alter the competition format to a traditional sweepstakes style, where all entries will have an equal chance of winning.

To ensure you are entered in the updated sweepstakes competition, please follow the link and visit the 'Sweepstakes' tab.

www.facebook.com/unitriders

To reward the leaders in the previous competition, we will be awarding the top 3 contenders a $500AUD Unit voucher each. Winners will be contacted via Facebook within 24 hours.

 ok, back to beginning - A. L. A LEGEND !??? sick, crazy, and probably THE best slopestyle around, but lets give this puppy a few more years before we wet our pants and call him a legend....I'M a legend......that's right! i can barely clear double 8 foot gaps but can drop a line all the way down garbanzo, all day, two days in a row, BUT, i am 67 years old, and i am [ albeit unknown :-) ] a legend ! yeh yeh, i know, in my own mind....whatever, legends should at least have been around long enough to be shaving...

OK, don't everyone take me too seriously - i got to survive this sport with a sense of humour...anyway, gotta go finish putting some minions on my walker,,,,,,,,
