Congratulations Casey Stein. You’re a man now son!

We sent Casey an email on Friday letting him know that he won the contest. So he gets a to Celebrate his 18th birthday with us and the guys from Joe Mama’s in Ottawa in June. Casey actually won this thing hands down because none of the other riders who qualified had a passport. So there was no big decision to make.

In about a week Casey will receive a plane ticket and food check from us, and a golf bag from Ogio to take his bike in. He’ll stay in the same hotel room as the riders and will be treated as one of the team. Here’s a small interview with Casey asking him about the upcoming trip. We’ll also interview him after the trip to see how he liked it.

MacNeil is working with Joe Mamma’s Bike Shop in Ottawa Canada to put together a pretty fun skatepark jam weekend. We’re going to be throwing a birthday party for one lucky American rider who’s 18th birthday happens to fall in the week leading up to the Jam. Why 18? Because you’re a man now son, and for some reason your country won’t let you drink yet. Did we mention that Ottawa is located on the Quebec border where the drinking age is 18? So if you’re an American rider and your birthday lands on or between June 7th and 12th, you’re eligible to win an all expenses paid trip to a jam in Ottawa as part of the Ten Pack Re-session tour, to chill and ride with the MacNeil Team and all the Ottawa locals. Go to tenpackbmx.com for more details and dates on the Re-session Tour.

Rules
1.    You must be turning 18 on or between the dates of June 7th to 12th.
2.    You must have a valid passport.
3.    You must want to have a really fun birthday.
4.    You must be a legit rider and not just some dude who just wants to party in Canada. This is a riding trip. The party comes second.

How do you get picked?
That’s up to you. The contest is wide open. Send us whatever you think will make us choose you. It can be bmx related or not, whatever you want. Some examples are, a simple email, a riding video, a party video, photos of your girlfriend, (or mom if she’s still hot,) arts and crafts, bribe money, a really nice present, photos of your bike, etc. Send as much or as little as you want. Basically we’re looking for someone who’s going to be fun to hang out with, and wants a birthday party that we’ll all remember for years. We’ll be posting entries on the site as they come in.

What don’t we want?
We don’t want to baby sit some idiot who’s so drunk he goes to jail or chokes on his own vomit. The last thing we want to do is have to call your parents and tell them that you’re dead. And by all expenses paid, we DO NOT MEAN BAIL!
