Mountain biking online community YourMTB.com begins programs to reward the best in riders' photography and video

Boulder, CO, July 26, 2006 -- YourMTB.com, a citizen media based online community for mountain bike enthusiasts and athletes, has announced several winners in its first best-photo and best-video contests, who receive prizes from GravityDropper and PricePoint.com.

Best MTB action video: YourMTB.com member "970biking" won this contest with his video, "Road34 DJ Jam '06," which nicely documents some incredible biking skills exhibited at a competition held near Fort Collins, Colorado. The winner receives a GravityDropper adjustable seatpost. The video can be viewed by clicking here.

Best "anti-gravity" action photo: YourMTB.com member Paul Sveda won this contest with his photo, "Gosh mister, I wish I could fly like that," a great image of a friend launching off a jump and flying through the air -- as two awstruck kids view the action from the grass next to the jump. Sveda receives a GravityDropper adjustable seatpost. The photo can be viewed by clicking here.

Best "MTB fashion" photo: YourMTB.com member BudH won this contest with a photo of himself looking fashionable and overly exhuberant on a mountain bike ride. He receives $50 in gift certificates to online mountain bike discount retailer PricePoint.com. The photo can be viewed by clicking here.

Winners were selected from submissions of photos and videos by YourMTB.com registered users and determined by consensus of the staff of YourMTB.com and its parent company, Enthusiast Group LLC.
