A Fundraiser to Buy Vietnam

Come celebrate the official start of the riding season with Trek Bicycles and the New England Mountain Bike Association. Get psyched about riding by coming to see the best amateur mountain bike videos that the Northeast has to offer. The best films will be selected by our panel of judges at this fun-filled event in the following categories: Best Riding, Best Production, and Most Entertaining. In addition, there will be a People's Choice Award chosen by the audience. This event is a fundraiser to benefit the New England Land Preservation Fund to help NEMBA buy a piece of Vietnam.

All proceeds will benefit Vietnam. Redbones BBQ is located in Davis Square at 55 Chester Street, Somerville, MA. As always, Redbones offers free bike valet.

what do the contest winners win??

Advance ticket sales?

I'd hate to drive 3 hours and get shut out at the gate.

I have a question...will we get the original back?

Also, since this will have NEMBA's name on it the rules may want to encourage responsible riding. I didn't see that on the web page I looked at. I can see people submitting movies with all kinds of stuff NEMBA does not endorse.

So many questions, so little time.... I guess I can't just say, no, yes, no, yes, yes, yes!

Yes, originals will be returned to the owner, who retains sole ownership, etc, etc.

Maybe, we might try to put up advanced ticket sales but I'm not sure quite yet. But never fear, we'll be able to hold a lot of people in Underbones as long as you don't mind being "friendly" to your neighbor.

Not sure what prizes Trek will be providing, but I asked for some goods stuff related to technical/freeriding. The main prize, of course, will be high levels of bragging rights of being the Numero Uno winner of the Boston MTB Video Awards. Who knows, could lead to a contract with Radical Films, etc, etc.... maybe!

Obviously, NEMBA isn't responsible for film content, but we urge responsible riding, helmet usage, etc, etc.

OK, last question....does one need to attend to be eligable? I'm 3+ hours away and not sure what will be going on that weekend. So attendance for me is up in the air.
