During the summer, Pinkbike held a competition just for our European users. No doubt some of you out there will feel that it should have been open to everyone in the world, we get that, and no doubt in the future we'll hold this type of contest for people only in North America - who knows, maybe even something just for users in South America! If you want us to do more of this style then please, let us know in the comments and we'll get to work.
Now on to what happened in the Bikester Ultimate Adventure contest.
Announcing the competition in May, users were invited to send in one-minute clips proving that they were the ultimate mountain bike adventurer. Our judges, filmmaker Scott Secco and top Enduro World Series racer Robin Wallner were then given the difficult task of shrinking a list of more than 100 entries down to just 16.
This list of 16 were then set to the public vote over the course of a week leaving one video on top.
Our winners were Silvio Zauchner and Andreas Gasser, who produced a fantastic entry which can be seen below.
Their prize? An incredible trip through the Norwegian Fjords on an ex-Navy Minesweeper vessel that would take them to some truly remote trails - the perfect reward.
Check out the exact package they won here. After enjoying the awesome Scott Secco production above, Niklas Walner (Robin's brother) was also on hand to document the trip with some out of this world photography.
Congratulations to Silvio and Andreas once again and thanks again to our partners that made this all happen.
