    My brother and I would ride the Unit as hard as we can so we can hopefully put on a show for you guys. The least we can try to do for letting us hang out and ride. Being able to ride with you and your friends would be an honor and this is one opportunity I wouldn't want to miss out on.

    18 years old, Always down to travel and I've put most my money into my bike. I live in michigan, where there are no indoor parks and it's getting cold. one last blow out ride of the year would be cool.

    I think it would be awesome for me and a friend to travel to Greenville to ride with Rob Darden. My friend and I have been riding together since we were in fifth grade. In eight grade my friend and I got suspended from mooning. His consequences from the suspension were to saw up his bike and through it in the trash. I wrote an article about it that was posted in the November 99 BMX plus. About two months later his dad passed away so he was able to purchase a bike. As of today we still ride but between work and college it’s next to impossible to meet up and ride. Were no amazing riders or anything but love to ride for the fun of it. I think it would be a good time to hang out a few days meets some awesome riders and maybe film and ride. It seems like it could bring some of the fun back into our life’s like when we were younger. Sounds like it could be a good time. I’m 25 from Colorado if we had to post our age.

    Rob, Being a Darden fan I respect what you have done for BMX. Your triumph return and dedication inspired me to never give up on BMX. I deserve to ride with you because I've been a fan of you since I was 10 when you won at Jacksonville CFB.

    I'm doing this for my grandson. I would do anything I could for him. He has been riding since he could walk, tried skateboards, scooters, but always rode his bike. He doesn't trade them in-he demolishes them. I know he's only 14 but what better gift could I find him than to meet his idols-someone else that understands his passion. He rides everyday, and there is no real place to ride but he doesn't care. He was born to ride, and tricks are where he's at. He'd be ok just to watch you all - well, maybe not OK, but it would be the next best thing. If he aint ridin' he's fixin' them. I love his PASSION! Had to try.

I have never been anywhere other than my home town on my bike and i am open for adventure. so to come over there to the east would be an adventure and the greatest thing that would ever happen to me.

    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.
