Judge’s decisions are final. Plagarism is a crime. Do not plagarize.

Two winners wil be chosen: first place and runner up. Winners will get awesome prizes and have their stories published in Dirt Rag.

Grand prize – Pivot Mach 5.7
The Pivot Cycles Mach 5.7 is the ultimate do-it-all, anytime, anywhere trail bike. If you’re an endurance racer who likes to take the hard line, an enduro guy or gal looking for a race-ready machine, or just a rider looking for one bike to tame nearly any trail, this is the bike for you.
The Mach 5.7 features a balance of pedaling performance, 145mm of fully active travel through a dw-link suspension, and award-winning handling. For 2012 the frame gets a 142×12 thru-axle rear end and post mount disc brake tabs. The Mach 5.7 is sure to make riders smile.
