Hi my name is Andrew Paulison, I have been riding some kind of bike since I was a little youngster and have always enjoyed riding bikes with friends and new people. Im not the best bike rider in the world, however it would be awesome to ride with you Rob Darden at any skatepark, concrete park, trails, or just a simple quarter in a random driveway. So hopefully I get a chance to meet you and ride with you, maybe ride with some of your friends, then you can meet one of my friends also.

Dearest Rob,
I believe that my friend steve and i would be the raddest candidates for this opprotunity thats 99.9% rad and .1 % radtastic. I believe that if we got to go to greenville and ride you guys you would be like..."damn these cats are rad." my bike just got stolen, and thats not so rad, not to worry though because im going to trade my car for a ballin complete soon. So you know that means rob darden, if you choose steve and me, and i have my new stead you can bet that all of my radness, steves radness, and everyone in greenvilles radness will glow and radiate untill you can see the rad on mars.. please pick me/us this is an opprotunity that would honestly be greatly appreciated and im positive that if you pick us that we will have a shit ton of fun. until next time, keep it rad rob darden...keep it rad..

Hi rob names Aaron. So i think i derserve the trip cause like you i like to ride a bit of everything, and there is not much to ride in minnesota up north were i live and definitely in the winter so the few small cramped indoor parks makes you have to be creative. I like to come up with random odd tricks, and just like having a good time no matter how i'm riding that day.

Hello Rob darden and thank you for this possible oppurtunity.
I am kyle Wescott 23 mantua New jersey, the chance to ride with guys that influence me on a day to day basis to ride and just have fun on my bike is just mind blowing if actually won. I dont have a bike right now i had to sell it to pay my rent. but work is pulling around and i am getting a new ride soon i hope no worries about a bike if you pick me i will have my friend with his bike so shredding will go down. its real stress full with worring about day to day life issues but everyone that rides knows that when you step out the house and get on your bike the worrie stay on the ground and you can ride away from them with your friends for the time being like there isnt a care in the world. A trip like this or should i say oppurunity like this would prove to me that anything is possible and no matter what is going on in your life , riden with friends and just living life to the fullest is all you need to get through life. So rob i want to thank you for this putting this contest together and for giving me something to wish about each day login in to Vitalbmx.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE GIVE ME THE CHANCE TO LIVE LIFE AND RIDE WITH YOU FELLOWS> have a great day.

Dear Rob,

I do very different tricks and grind combinations than most riders. I would never ask to be sponsored and always have a smile on my face. If I were to win, I would make the most out of this trip because not everyone gets this special chance.

Sincerely,

Scott Ehlert

Hey bro
My name is Brenna and I'm a 21 year old female bmx rider in Louisville, KY. My fiancee who has been riding for 25 years and I hitchhiked up here from Orlando, Fl just so we could ride the skatepark. Our original plans were to go to Greenville, but we woke up in Kentucky and decided to go to the park. From there we lived on top of a vert ramp for two weeks, riding hard every single day, then some people gave us a house to move into, and from that we've been working our way up to our own apartment, car, and a lot of new parts on our bikes. I got to be a part of the Women of Freestyle and I'm riding as hard as I can every day. However..........its super expensive to get anywhere, and Greenville was still the destination of choice, and we'd love the opportunity to get to ride and so I could expand my horizons as I've been to maybe three parks since I started riding. My fiancee rode with you in the X-games on pier 32 in san francisco at the emarkadero street park when he rode for dirt bros. and last time he saw you ride was at the CFB in jacksonville, fl. but coming to ride the unit with you guys would be a dream come true for both of us, so we thought we'd enter and give it a shot.

Hey Mr. Darden, you are one of the sickest, most influental, and not to mention, smoothest riders out there. My girlfriend thinks I'm partially insane to wanna ride with you, but it would be an absolute honor to bleed in your presence. A trip across the U.S. for my girlfriend and I to ride with you and your friends would possibly be the coolest thing to every happen to us!

the very idea of being able to ride with u and your friends is completely uncomprehensible, probably spelled that wrong but allwell. i rode with you once it was a long time ago though. it would be awesome to be able to ride with you again one day! talk to you soon sucka!

Rob,
I’m sure there are a ton of kids out there that would consider winning this contest a dream come true, but how about picking an aging 24 year old instead? When choosing a winner I think that you should look for a contestant that not only loves to ride bikes, but one that also has sweet beard, a full time job, and their own health insurance... If that sounds like a fun dude to ride with, you might have just found your winner.

The reason you should choose my friend BK and I is because I recently broke my fibula at my local skatepark and I've been bummed out about it. I will be back on my bike within the next month due to the surgery but because I broke my leg, I also lost my job due to complications. My parents are not too supportive of the situation and personally, you seem like a great dude and awesome rider so I would be super excited if we got this amazing opportunity to ride with you!

Thank you,

My name is Alex, my friends call me AV, and I think I would be a good pick for this shiznit because unlike all the other people on bikes out there, I've never had a chance to ride Woodward or any kind of amazing parks/spot. I'm from a small town, and we never had much exposure or opportunity come our way. I used to dream of being pro, but now almost 8 years down the road, I'm just trying to make a good life for myself and keep riding in it as much as I can. Rob Darden inspired me to learn double whips way back when he was doing them on the CFB and Dave Mirra tour, even though it resulted in me permanently destroying my ankle. I got them, though, haha. One last thing: I know these Greenville dudes know how to party, and I'm way down for that. So fly my friend and me out there and let's shred and get rowdy! RAF.

Veteran bmxer from Orlando, Florida. I hope I doh't win. Because if I did, I would surely believe I had died and gone to heaven. Greenville? More like bmx heaven. I'm a pretty laid back guy, and even if we weren't riding, I'm sure it would be a blast. Add bmx to the mix, and anything is possible. I'm at the older end of the bmx spectrum (well under 40 and over 20) and have seen the sport go through it's ups and downs. I would spit shine my anodized nipples for a chance to watch Rob throw down some serious shiz in Greenville. If I don't win, I hope that some little rich kid who can't even do an x-up but has a $1200 bike does.....cuz he deserves it. If he doesn't win, his mommy and daddy will pay you to ride with him, so then you could make some more money. hahahaha...

I'm from a distant place, and I couldn't F"!)·king ride for ages, put together my first decent bmx, and that took me out of a dark place I was.
second, rinding a place like that, it's only a dream in this part of the world.
and third, I think you have your own style rob, and that's bad ass, and you enjoy riding above all things.
so those are my reasons. greetings from the last place on earth

Hey Rob, I had a dream about you a few weeks ago. It was you, Spiderman, ScrappyDoo and I were all riding, but Scrappy had to jet to go hang with Scoob but you and Spiderman were killing it! If I win the trip to come ride with you I can't promise to bring Spiderman, but I'll try. I think that would be badass....later. _ DJ Loertscher

I have always had a dream of going to greenville, but my parents never let me drive down there. They said it was too far. my parents have no idea what this would meen to me. I love BMX its my passion. If I win this it would be a dream come true to come shred with you at the unit and maybe jaycee park. Oh, darden at orlando you killed it best run ever seen.
