Posted: Aug 8, 2009

Win Casey Groves or Alan Hepburn's bike with The Camp of Champions

To celebrate the World Premiere of Aaron LaRocque's new film "What's Next", which features Camp of Champions coaches Casey Groves and Alan Hepburn, we are giving away Casey Groves' pimpin' Transition Blindside to one of our Pinkbike friends and Alan's pimpin' Banshee Wildcard to someone that enters in person between noon and 5PM on August 14th at the World Premiere Pre Party on The Longhorn Patio.

Learn more inside,


PIMPED BIKES BY RACEFACE AND STRAITLINE COMPONENTS
We say the bikes are pimpin' because both bikes have been pimped out by Race Face and Straitline so they will be the most amazing Transition and Banshee bikes on earth. As soon as they are built we will have the spec list and photos for you to drool on.

HOW TO WIN CASEY GROVES' TRANSITION BLINDSIDE

All you have to do is friend us up on Pinkbike and start supporting all our World Premier Contest sponsors and you are entered. If you are already one of our friends simply friend up or start supporting the World Premiere sponsors, you are entered as well. You have to do it all by midnight September 1st to be entered. We are picking the winner on September 2nd.

Here's Casey in a VOD from the back in June:

Here's Casey hitting the containers on Garbo with a nice tailwhip.

HOW TO WIN ALAN HEPBURN'S BANSHEE WILDCARD

To win Alan's Banshee all you have to do is stop by The Longhorn Patio during Crankworx in Whistler on August 14th, between noon and 5 PM and fill out an entry form. We will be giving away Maynards Sour Chiller Candy at the same time so you can save a trip to 7-11 as well. We will then draw the winner at 5:30PM and you must be present to win. We are also giving away tons of prizes from our other sponsors of the What's Next World Premiere. There will be prizes from Dakine, Oakley, GoPro, Alpinestars and of course The Camp of Champions. Some of it will be by drawing and some will be randomly tossed. Come early for the best "snag it from the sky" positions.

Here's Alan coaching during Camp C at The Camp of Champion:

WORLD PREMIERE AT 9:00PM ON AUGUST 14TH
The World Premiere of Aaron Larocque's new movie "What's Next" goes off at 9:00PM in the Longhorn Saloon at the base of the Whistler Bike Park. Get in early because it's going to be packed.

ENTER BEFORE MIDNIGHT SEPTEMBER 1ST
It's going to be a fun contest and you have to friend up or start supporting everyone before midnight on September 1st 2009, to be entered to win Casey's bike. In case you are wondering... we will be paying to ship the bike to where ever the winner might live. Vancouver, Prague, Australia, England, Brazil... and who knows... Casey might even be the delivery boy.

Thats such a lame comment lol. I cannot even say that because I haven't been to both camps, I just love the guys attitude so we are on board all the way.

People judge our gear all the time spouting off about how this stem is like 8 times better than that one then I catch them in public and they are riding a unicycle lol.

I should get the camp to give you a free stay next summer just for kicks then have you write a review. Then you can comment and back stuff up without any doubt that your experience is true.

I think both camps kick ass, more guys getting people to ride the better, even if it was my worst enemy running a camp I'd have a hard time slagging them, at least they are doing something for the soport.

Too much drama, I'm hungry.

Luseboy, just don't comment if you dont have something good to say. You obviously have no clue... How can you have thst opinion if you havn't been to COC? Have you even been to SGC? Straitline deserves mega props for that comment. Pretty sure both camps would be an equally amazing experience that you would remember for a lifetime.

i went to sgc, and absolutley loved it. i saw some kids being coached by coc, and it just didnt look like they were having as much fun. nevermind about all this, i didnt mean to offend anybody, i cant belive what pb has come to. i say my opinion, and it seemed like in a nice way, and get all this shit. forget it, it doesnt matter. both camps are great. i just had such a good experience at sgc, and i doubt that coc could top it. not to mention that the coc kids werent lookin too happy... so nevermind. i dont care. if you like coc better, that is absolutely fine.

flag sorbet (Aug 11, 2009 at 22:42)
Rolleyes You said that a different camp was better than COC on a COC story. You obviously were trying to make a point by saying: "im sorry, but sgc is way better than coc..." Not " IMO I think SGC is a better camp than COC." Was "way" needed? Its kind of like insulting someone then saying "no offense." It didnt even have to do with the news story anyways.

Skip Air Canada man,they suck, they lose peoples stuff all the time anyway. Fly Westjet. They haven't lost a campers bag yet and they are cheaper for bringing your bike. It's about $300 - $350 each way most of the time. If you look and stay on the sales you can get it for cheaper than that. Then use our discount code to save 10%. Instant money saving. See you next summer I hope.

i agree completely with odin333.. its a camp at whistler none the less.. the trails dont change and im sure that all the coaches want to do is help apsiring riders futher themselves in the sport. like i said earlier..a camp at whistler is a camp at whistler.. the trails are the same for either camp so just go out there and RIDE YOUR BIKE

In response to Luseboy, I went to SGC two summers ago and had an absolute blast. I thought if I were to go back to Whistler Id like to go to SGC and wouldnt really even consider COC. I definitely would now. Im really impressed how they have a COC employee on Pinkbike actually reaching out to the biking community, adding photos nearly daily and so on. I mean no slight against SGC, its a great camp no question, but the COC guys have done a fantastic job. By taking time to answer questions on Pinkbike it does a great job at making people feel welcome before they come, especially if youre coming from across the continent. Realistically, both camps are great Im sure, Im just very impressed with how hands on COC has been and Id have to think long and hard about choosing either camp.

flag campofchampions (Aug 13, 2009 at 18:44)
Thanks man, we're trying.
The biggest thing that I always say is, "The camp you go to first always has a special place in your heart. Period." Nothing anyone can do or say will change that person's mind, and actually I wouldn't want to change your mind. It's awesome when you can come to Whistler and to a camp and have the best week of your life. As long as that happens I don't care which camp you came to or come to. I obviously hope you come to COC, but no matter which camp you go to, hopefully you will have the best time of your life. That is all that matters to me. That's why I do camp.
