Endeavor Snowboards Launches Next Top Rider Competition.
Endeavor Snowboards has launched the “Endeavor’s Next Top Rider” competition, an opportunity for snowboarders to prove that they can make it in the competitive, high-stakes world of professional snowboarding. Applicants submit their sponsor-me video online and the snowboarding community determines the competition finalists.
“This competition gives us an opportunity to get the snowboarding community’s input on who should be Endeavor’s Next Top Rider,” says Max Jenke, Endeavor’s Managing Director. “It’s always hard choosing riders to sponsor and a challenge in determining who is worthy. This competition gives an opportunity to those riders who we wouldn’t normally know about to show their skills. It also puts the onus on the community to decide our short list of riders to choose from.”
Submissions must be made through the Transworld Snowboarding website by registering then loading videos with the ENTR in the tag line. Submission deadline is December 1st and PROP deadline is December 15th. Submissions will be ranked by PROP value given by Transworld Online community members and the top 6 ranked videos will win full 2009/10 setups from Endeavor Snowboards.
The top 6 riders then film bio videos to be submitted March 1st. The top two riders chosen by the panel of judges:
Transworld Staff Photographer Scott Serfas
Endeavor CEO Max Jenke
Pro Rider Jacob Koia
Pro Rider Johnny Lyall
Endeavor Sales and Marketing Manager Jordan Brown
The top riders will ride with the judges for a weekend at a location to be confirmed at the end of March. One rider will be chosen at the end of the weekend to be ENDEAVOR’S NEXT TOP RIDER. This rider will be given a one year contract with Endeavor Snowboards, including snowboards, outerwear, layering, and streetwear, travel budget, photo incentives, and participate in a photoshoot with the Endeavor team and photographer Scott Serfas.
