Vote & Win : Red Bull Hike And Ride 2006
Your vote counts from 30 January to 7 February, and you can win a Sony Mini DV Camcorde signed by the stars of the Red Bull Hike&Ride 2006.
It's up to you to decide which public team will participate in the fourth edition of the Red Bull Hike&Ride, and it'll be a tough choice. Anyone can vote — but only once. So take a close look at the clips and choose the team with the best riding skills, best knack for technique and best portion of creativity.
My take?
Team 1: Nicki Langer & Jakub Malik
These two get my prize for best concept. The Karate Kid skit is funny, and they even manage to get Mr. Myagi to smoke some Bonsai.
Team 2: Sebastian Camus & Daniel Glauser
The fact that I cannot remember much about their little film 5 minutes after watching it does not bode well. International concept, if I remember it correctly. Pretty good riding. To make it at the Hike & Ride, however, you've got to stand out.
Team 3: Thomas Krapf & Alexander Zalokar
The Austrians are a bit of a one-trick pony, but it is one hell of a trick. The handheld camera is fab, and they've got obvious on-piste talent. The short on-street self interview shows that they don't take themselves too seriously. These guys might have what it takes.
Team 4: Joakim Chardonnens & Julien Ecuyer
Their demo concept shows talent, but is not original. The winning team 2 years ago did something very similar. They seem pretty ok in front of the camera, however. Both are sponsored riders, so they're not really amateurs in the true spirit of the competition.
It's a tough call, but I'm going with Thomas and Alexander.
