    Best Spring TR Wins an MTB Trip to Park City

    Eh mags,

    Pumped to announce that we're rolling out another TR contest, this time for the best TR for the spring (April/May), and the winner will get 3 nights lodging in Park City and 2 days of full bike guiding in the area w/high-end demo bike rental, all for two people, from White Pine Touring. Here's the deal:

    1) Post a TR here or in The Stash () from now (or in the past, as in April) until May 31st at midnight
    2) After that point, our editorial team will pick its 5 favorite TRs and put up a poll to see which one the mags like the best
    3) We'll close the poll after a few days, and set up the winner with the trip to Park City

    the Grand Prize includes:
    -3 nights lodging for two people in downtown Park City in apartments/condos from Park City Lodging that will include kitchens and space to stash your bikes.
    -2 full days of MTB guiding from the good people at White Pine Touring for two people.
    -2 days of high-end demo bike rentals from WPT for two people. Last year I got to ride a mint Rocky Mountain Altitude that was very well taken care of by their crew. Helmets & water bottles included.
    -Lunch on the days of the tour

    Your TR can be of ANY sport–skiing, riding, climbing, farting, biking, whatever–to qualify, doesn't have to be a bike TR. PM me if you have any questions. Here's some Park City stoke:

    Trailside Bike Park. Awesome free spot the city runs, accessible from singletrack from downtown (or free bus), strider bike pump tracks all the way to legit freeride flow trails:

    I consider this contest over - enginerd hit it out of the park (unless Klar has something up her sleeve)

    How about the fact it's almost impossible to post pictures on the new "improved" upload tool?

    "Almost impossible." Took me about 15 seconds to upload these directly into the thread:









    1) Click photo icon.

    2) Write a title

    3) Upload Images

    4) Select your images

    5) Select a sport

    6) Hit publish, and they're all in your thread.

    OR, if you want to embed from Flickr/etc...

    1) Click photo icon

    2) Hit "Embed Existing"

    3) Paste URL of photo

    4) hit Publish.

    Looks like plenty took advantage... some amazing TRs that will be very hard to narrow down to just 5.

    Dude, it's fucking terrible and we've asked before for it to be rolled back. It used to take 1 step, now it takes 6.
    You guys had it working great, where you'd upload a pic and it would just embed right where the cursor was blinking. Then it got ever more complex, our calls to change it back were ignored (as usual), and now we have this fucking Stash shit taking up a bunch of the screen.
    No longer stuck.
