Four weeks left in U.S. Snowboarding Ride With US Contest

Four weeks left in U.S. Snowboarding “Ride With US” Contest{mosimage}There are just four weeks left in U.S. Snowboarding’s “Ride With US” Video Contest. So grab your board, your camera and a friend and hit the slopes to film your best riding session. Even if you don’t want to submit a video but still want to win something, a sweet Burton board/binding package could be yours for simply viewing the videos at ussnowboarding.org.

Riders who do submit videos are in the running for the grand prize: a week-long trip for two to Windells Snowboard Camp in Oregon this summer where you will ride the best parks, pipes and rails that the Mount Hood summer scene has to offer, along with other gear from contest sponsors. The top video might even find its way into one of U.S Snowboarding’s national television shows.

The contest, which runs through March 31, is supported by Windells, Smith Optics, Burton Snowboards, Anon, Head Snowboards, MTX Audio and Breckenridge Resort.

U.S. Snowboarding’s “Ride With US” video contest is open to all ages (participants under 18 must have parental consent). There are no restrictions on the video’s length, but the total file size cannot exceed 3 mb. Acceptable formats include .mov, .mpg, .asx or .wmv. Currently, U.S. Snowboarding is working on a feature video of its crew competing, freeriding and traveling around the globe. The best video clips may be incorporated into the DVD as well.

Once a video is posted to the site, the voting process begins. Anyone can vote for the videos, which are all viewable online. Ultimately, the winner will be decided by a panel of U.S. Snowboarding coaches and riders.

Contest details and information can be found at www.ussnowboarding.org. It’s about riding!
