This is pretty sweet, and it's a nice break from energy drink contests too. My old friend Pepsi Cola hosted a contest in Montreal last weekend, and the riding was nuts. Long ago, (well a few years before everyone and everything was sponsored by an energy drink company) people drank soda. And it was good. And we didn't have to sacrifice an entire helmet's worth of ad space to pledge our allegiance to the brand.
Completely off the subject, there's an awesome Shadow Conspiracy video/slideshow from their summer trip to Philadelphia posted today. Unfortunately, the video is un-embeddable right now, so check the slideshow on Shadow and check the video here. Both are pretty great.
