Hi guys,

As you may remember from previous years we always try to up the ante on our stoker giveaways in December. We still have time for a couple more before Xmas, and this should be a solid start.

The idea behind the whole Wiredsport X-mas Stoker concept is to get new riders into the greatest sport in the world. To do that we need your help. Do you know someone who would love to get started riding but cannot? If you do, enter in this stoker and if you win you will set them up with a sick new deck, free of charge. As always the shipping is on us in the USA.

This time around it will be a brand new Arbor Formula deck. We will run this for 10 days and then choose a winner raffle style. Please enter a unique # in a reply post to this thread and to keep it fun, let us know a little about the person who will be getting the deck. The winner can pick from any size available here:

Arbor 2013 Formula Snowboard - Snowboards - Snow

STOKED!

#13, my lucky number!

So if I win this, this deck will be going to my best friend Aaron. He's spent an awful long time being one of those "socially awkward introverts," but lately he's really been getting out more, so I'd love to get him involved in what will surely become his favourite thing to do. He's currently learning to drive too, so if I can get him a free deck, surely I'll be able to convince him to come shred!

He works as a Youtuber, entertaining people with gaming videos and gets paid via advertisements. You guys can check him out if you like that kind of thing, although I imagine most of you won't really understand what it is he does! Yamimash - YouTube

We are in the UK, but if I win I'll cover the shipping costs myself. I'd just love to see him get involved. He might even make Youtube videos for snowboarding, and help get some of his 80,000+ viewers to try the sport! If that happens, I'll make sure to tell him to give you an honorable mention Wiiredsport (;

He's a pretty light so I'd say he'd need a 152. I'll make sure to help him get the rest of his gear sorted if he wins!

Good luck to all who enter, and thanks for doing this Wiired :)

I'd like to see my friend Matt get into the sport properly with an awesome board like that. While he does have a super old beat down burton board, i'd still like to put him up for this. He's a great friend and coworker, he's been working as much as possible to earn the cash for a new board but i dont think he's going to make it happen this year.

:thumbsup:

I going to throw my number in the hat again for my bro. He busted his ass in school, unlike me, but is buried in student loans. I went to University to become a RN (registered nurse) and now works as a ER nurse saving lives. He did snowboard a little before he went to school, but since has not had the spare cash to get back into it. The worst part is back when he did it, I did not!.... I know messed up right? Well now I do, but he can't. So, I would love to get him a board so we can go boarding together! Thanks again for the opportunity!

I am the seventh post on here, and it's one of my favorite numbers.
This will be for my best friend and cousin. He gave snow boarding a try twice then lost interest. He is a fun carefree guy to be around and I want him to ride with me. He is starting to show interest again this year,but needs a board.
Please make it happen for him!!:cool:

If I win, I will be giving the board to my homie JLee. He works his ass off and has not been able to ride more than 1 or 2 days a year as of late. He rides a super old beat up Soloman board that he hasn't had the money to replace. His wife is learning to ride and borrows my wifes stuff when we go. My board sizes are way to big for Jlee so he just rides his beater all the time! I think if he got this board it would help him progress and want to ride a lot more!


Nice Idea for a contest Big Ups Wired!

Another great thread Wiredsport!!! :thumbsup: Good luck to all the entries. I love the idea of getting more people involved in the sport.

Soapbox: When I was a little wipper snapper, my dad said "Son, you can either play hockey or ski." At the time I hated getting up at 3:00 am to play hockey, so it was skiing all the way for me! Fast forward 6 years and I'm now in grade 6, and my school has a 4 day field trip to a local hill. You could either board or ski, lessons and rentals included for the same price (no discount for owning your own equipment). So I asked my parents if I could snowboard instead! That was 1992 and I've never looked back.

Now snow sports are the things that help keep my family together. I meet my dad from across the country to board/ski and he's 70 this year! :eek: My GF of 4 years got into the sport because of me and loves it. My best friend did the same thing, and loves it. And now because of wiredsport my neighbour is getting his very first board and I'm sure it'll become a family sport for his young family as well! :D I THINK I'M GOING TO CRY!!!

LOL, anyway, this isn't an entry, it's just saying good on wiredsport for doing this kind of thing to encourage new people to ride! :thumbsup:

My buddy I've been lookin out for the last couple stokers just has had a couple hard years, always borrowing gear and scrapping to go up just once or twice. I think he has most of his shiz now but he still needs a board. A crew of us mob Loveland 2 or 3 times a week as we work together just 30min away. He's missed in the crowd!

The board would be for my wife who has finally decided she wants to "play snowboards" with her husband and son. She sits and listens to my kid and I talk for a good 2 hours after a night of shredding and wants to become part of the conversation. With her working in the office at our local ski hill (Granite Peak) she would even have a free season pass waiting for her.

Thank you for another kick ass giveaway!

I'd like to nominate my mate Stephen. We lived together in Australia but I left to chase the snow in New Zealand. He stayed because he'd a solid job and they sponsored him to stay in the country. Just recently they've told him after the new year there will be no more work and he has to leave the country after him plannin for the future and settling down. After much convincing I've talked him out of moving back home to a boring life, so he's joining me in New Zealand for his first winter season.. Never boarded before so a new deck would be perfect!

PS. WS I know you're posting free to US, but if the winner was to cover international postage could this be an option? Chur.
