This marks the third TTL photo contest and each one seems to be better than the last. We had some really good entries this time around and it was hard to make the final decision on a winner. So hard in fact that we opted to let the Quintin Crew handle the responsibilities of choosing the top three finalists. I narrowed them down to a final 13 which you can check out in the gallery and then the Quintin team got together to pick the winners. With a contest like this we just wanted to keep things fair and mix it up a little bit by throwing in the guest judge aspect. Plus, it’s rad to know that a few pros out there were stoked on your photos. So, with that said, we want to give a big shout out to Quintin for throwing down as a sponsor this time around and congrats to the top thirteen for making the gallery. Also, I want to personally say good job to Levi, Aaron and Marco for sending in some rad photos. Keep up the good work and we are already planning the fourth contest so expect it to be the best one yet.
Kevin Porter left us with this quote representing Quintin and the choice for
first place.
“The reason we chose the photo we did for first place is because it shows what we feel is the BMX “street” movement of today. A tooth hanger is probably the trick that could go down in history as this eras staple trick. The rider filming on his bike helps show the rise in edits whether it be a web edit or a full length DVD) of today. The riders cruisin’ in the back with a heavenly waxed ledge also shows what kind of session goes down these days.” -Kevin Porter
