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:
My friend frank is down & would be pumped to win a board. He went boarding twice last year & enjoyed the challenge but funds are tight. Thanks wired. #2417
The board will be going to my buddy Dan. He decided to start learning last year on a hand me down Bud Light branded board. Being a long time skier, he was used to being on the snow, but a mix of crappy conditions and a crappy board led to lots of falls and a tough time overall. He's psyched to get back out there this year to hopefully better results.
Not going to give up on trying to get a board for my little brother. Again, here is his story.
ok, this would be for my little brother (23yrs old). This is the guy that is paying his dues. He went to college for 4yrs (which he is paying for cause my family doesnt come from money) and was accepted into the radiology program. Program had a two year wait. So in the mean time he gets a job at the local hospital as a nurse. At the same time my sister who just finished her degree in nursing also gets a job at the same hospital.
Now this is where you see what kind of guy my little brother is. After 3 months the hospital offiers him a position in another department but for a significant pay increase. He thanks them for the offer but his passion is radiology and knows he will be starting that program next year. So he tells them that his sister also works in the hospital and that she really is deserving of this type of promotion. They agree and she gets it.
Now he works his full time, shares an apartment with my sister who covers what ever he cant and continues to keep his head up, has never asked me for a dime and is just one of those guys.
I talk about snowboarding all the time and there is a hill right by where they live now that I plan to hit alot this year, and it would be great if I could get him out there. He doesnt get out much as you can expect.
My brother. I got him to the hill for the first time on the last weekend of the season last year, he got lessons and picked up on it better than I did my first time.
He wants to ride but can't afford a set up. He works hard but he's young and single with a house, car and crap to pay for on his own. I have literally a 100+ pounds and 8 inches on him so none of my hand-me-down gear will work for him.
All of my friends are so broke that even if they won a board, they couldnt afford the rest of the gear, gas and lift tickets. So i really have no one that "deserves" it that could use it other than me lol.
Thanks for putting all the work into running the drawing!
If my number is drawn, the board will be going to a 13 year old friend of my sons who's parents are getting a pretty ugly divorce. I'd like to help get him into an active sport and his mind on something positive instead of dwelling on what's going on at home.
New rider is my room mate. Really nice guy, but he's that type to be over cautious about everything. Finally convinced him to ride this season and he's so stoked about it now. Would be nice to get him some good gear
This board would be for my cousin who went up for the first time last week and loved it. He wants to get his own board but can't afford it at the moment.
