WHISTLER,
BC, June 30, 2008- Whistler Blackcomb is making an unprecedented
move and celebrating the 10th Anniversary of the Whistler Mountain
Bike Park by giving away a Bike Park pass good for 10 years. Also up for grabs is a Kona Stab Garbanzo
full suspension mountain bike that can be won by simply entering online at whistlerblackcomb.com/bike.
Since 1998, the Whistler
Mountain Bike
Park has been the epicenter
of lift-accessed mountain biking around the world. Year after year, the bike
park has increased in popularity and size, offering more quality and varied
terrain for all types of riders to enjoy.
Now, with three lifts, nearly 50 trails and more than 5,000 vertical
feet of riding available, the Whistler
Mountain Bike
Park is looking forward to
the next 10 years and beyond.
“It’s amazing to see how much the Bike
Park has evolved over the
last 10 years. When the Whistler
Mountain Bike
Park first opened, the sport
was so niche and the concept of a bike park was still un-chartered territory,”
says Rob McSkimming, Vice President of Business Development, Whistler
Blackcomb. “Whistler Blackcomb has consistently broken new ground for
lift-accessed downhill biking and helped the sport become what it is today. At
this rate of progression, it’s exciting to envision how the Bike
Park will evolve over the
next 10 years.”
The
Whistler Mountain
Bike Park
10th Anniversary Mash-up Contest begins
June 30 and runs until September 10. In
order to be eligible to win the 10-year bike park pass, contestants must submit
a bike video, 90 seconds to two minutes in length, edited from 15 minutes of
unedited footage supplied by film companies, The Collective and Freeride
Entertainment.
Videos will be judged based on originality, footage selection and
the personal connection. Editing quality carries the least amount of weight to
accommodate for all types of editing programs, but could easily be the
difference between the top spots.
