Saint Summer Photo Challenge
Six photographers (Mattias Fredriksson, Dan Barham, Yorick Caroux, Harookz, John Gibson & wildcard, Bryan Ralph) and their teams had 3 days to shoot anywhere within the park on Whistler and create a slideshow. This is the first event like this in mountain biking. The idea was taken from the Deep Winter Photo Challenge that's been going on for the last three years at whistler. Wednesday night at the fairmont, each slideshow was shown and judged.
Darcy, one of the hosts mentioned that one of the organizers was wondering if anyone would show up. The place was packed by the time the doors closed and the show started.

The images were inspiring and the slideshows in whole full of energy (especially Mattias's which had quick sequences in black and white and paused on the main color image).
Someone had the idea of letting that crazy guy, Brett Tippie on stage for the halftime show while the judges left to pick the winners. There was a cup cake eating competition, a handstand competition (that I competed in and lost) and a dollar catching competition. The winners all got prizes like giro helmets and crankworx hats.

Mattias Fredriksson, first
Congrats to all the teams! They worked non-stop those 3 days and all had amazing work to show for it.
